Abstract

This book was intended to familiarise the western world with the vastness and depth of Indian philosophy. Metrical translations of ancient hymns, Vedanta philosophy, reformist religious movements, an in-depth study of the doctrines of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa - strands of myriad thoughts blend seamlessly in this work of erudition. Dedicated to his `Indian Friends', the book is also rich in personal memories - of Dwarkanath Tagore and Raja Radhakanta Deva among others.
