Universality of Vedanta (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Universality of Vedanta<br><br>Our Motherland, India, and our religion, have not infrequently been grossly misrepresented. People in Western countries seldom go to the right sources for information. There are, for instance, the orthodox Christian missionaries, who, carried away by their enthusiasm to bring light to the so-called benighted heathen, would not hesitate to exaggerate or misstate the conditions of India and misinterpret the various phases of Hinduism.<br><br>Then, again, there are the foreign travellers who skim over the country, stop in hotels and come in contact with their Anglo-Indian friends. They see only the squalor and the famine, or the gorgeous temples and other superficial things, and thus fail, in not a few cases, to touch the inner spring of Indian religious life. And these people write books on Indian religion and socio-moral principles of the people! What can you expect but a caricature of one of the sublimest religions in the world<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
