“It is written in a plain and logical style, and cannot fail to interest all who are anxious for information concerning the philosophy of which the author is such an able exponent.”—Times, Pittsburg, June, 1903.
“A glance over a few of its pages would be sufficient to convince the reader that he is in the presence of an intellect of high order, more thoroughly conversant with the philosophies and sciences of the Occidental world than most Europeans or Americans.... The ‘Divine Heritage of Man’ gives a rare insight into the religious views of educated Hindoos and its argumentation furnishes an intellectual treat.”—Chronicle, San Francisco, Aug., 1903.
“Fully cognizant of modern scientific discoveries, the author treats his subject broadly.”—Bookseller, Newsdealer, and Publisher, New York, Aug., 1903.
“The student of religions will find much of value in the discourses, since they are full of historical information concerning the origin and growth of certain ideas and beliefs dominant in Christianity.”—Republican, Denver, July, 1903.
“There is no disposition on the part of the author to assail any of the Christian principles, but he simply presents his subject with calmness, not attempting to reconcile religion and science, for to him they are one.”—Washington Post, June, 1903.

“For Christians interested in foreign missions this book is of moment, as showing the method of reasoning which they must be prepared to meet if they are to influence the educated Hindu. To the Orientalist, and the philosopher also, the book is not without interest.... Swâmi Abhedânanda preaches no mushroom creed and no Eurasian hybrid ‘theosophy.’ He aims to give us a compendious account of Yoga. Clearly and admirably he performs his task. In form the little bank is excellent, and its English style is good.”—New York Times Saturday Review of Books, Dec. 6, 1902.
