Book excerpt: Excerpt from This Volume of Lectures on Hindu Religion, Philosophy and Yoga: As a Mark of Admiration for His Many Inestimable Qualities and of Gratitude for the Encouragement The author of the following lectures is well known to the public, and this fact renders any introduction from the Publisher unnecessary. He began efforts as an author when he was only in the First Year Class of the Calcutta Presidency College. Commencing in 1873 he wrote a series of interesting novels in the Vernacular, which earned for him the reputation of being "one of the best writers of the day." In 1886 he had a vision, which was followed by a calamity which induced him to study the question of life after death. He studied Hindu religion, philosophy, psychology and yoga with great diligence, and founded a society which was called "the Calcutta Psycho-religious Society" - a name which has subsequently been changed to "Sri Chaitanya Yoga Sadhan Somaj." The following lectures are the result of his studies, and were delivered from time to time at the meetings of the Society, and were printed in the leading journals of the day, namely, the Statesman, the Indian Mirror, the Indian Public Opinion, the Theosophist &c, - a fact which speaks for the interesting character of the lectures. Those who have studied Hindu philosophy, psychology and yoga, know how dry the subjects are, yet the author has, by the gift of his imagination and the clear understanding of his subjects, moulded his lectures and clothed them in a way which is at once artistic and pleasing. The lectures are published with the consent of the author for the benefit of the Yoga Somaj. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
