“This book has more than usual interest as coming from one who knows the Occident and both knows and loves the Orient.... It is decidedly interesting.... The book has two admirable qualities: breadth in scope and suggestiveness in material.”—Bulletin of the American Geographical Society, Sept., 1906.
“This volume, written in an attractive style and dealing with the life, philosophy and religion of India, should prove a useful addition to the literature of a fascinating and as yet largely unknown subject. It is designed for popular reading, the metaphysical portions being so handled that the reader runs little risk of getting beyond his depth.”—Literary Digest, Feb. 16, 1907.
“The Swâmi possesses the exceptional advantage of being able to look upon his own country almost from the standpoint of an outsider and to handle his subject free from both foreign and native prejudice.”—New York World, Aug. 4, 1906.
“It is a valuable contribution to Western knowledge of India, containing precisely what the American wants to know about that region.”—Washington Evening Star, Aug. 4, 1906.
