Description

About The Book: In the following lectures I have endeavoured to discharge the duty incumbent on the spiritual Teacher however humble the grade of holding up the ideal to be aimed at, of reproving the evils of the day, of indicating the path along which the ideal may be approached. The task is one beset with difficulties, but not for that reason may it be avoided; cowards shrink back, appalled by obstacles; heroes overcome them. Though the lectures are addressed to Hindus, many of the matters dealt with, Specially in the first and last lectures, are applicable outside Hinduism, and describe ideals that might be incorporated generally in modern life, to its great improvement. And, in any case, the raising of India must interest all who belong to the great Empire of which India forms a part. May the proposals here made, if wise and good, win the assent and support of India’s children, and so prove a step towards her redemption.
