India's Spiritual Heritage Part II Sabharatnam Krishnaswami

The history of any nation is not made in a day but the result of centuries of silent working of all the creative forces in the land. Bharata Varsha, presently known as India, alone has the unique claim to make that she is the home of many great religions, rushis and saints. She can take pride in the fact that she possesses a spiritual culture of very high order. The backbone of Indian national life is religion. Our land has passed through many spiritual crises. Religion has always been an integral part of our education from very early times. Keeping the above in view, this book, written by my illustrious father, Late Prof. Sabharatnam (H. H. Swami Skandananda) and published in 1982 is republished in 2016 by me as I felt that this is quite an appropriate time for the children and youngsters of this country to revisit their heritage and understand that how we are degenerating by the influence of culture foreign to us by willful distraction through irresponsible persons at the helm, media and society. It is their responsibility to bring back the glory of our heritage and culture through another spiritual revolution. I am sure that this book will guide them towards that. This book shatters many myths and falsehood of vested interests about the people, their worship and beliefs of sacred India. It emphasises that it is India and her strong beliefs alone can save the Earth from its imminent disasters towards which it is heading. -This is a Masterpiece in comparative Religion which is sure to inspire, instruct and guide the Reader in Life. It is specially meant for our Secular state where seven out of the ten World Religions are practised. -The learned Author has discussed the history of the growth of Hinduism from Vedic Times to the present day in this succinct yet comprehensive work in a lucid and forceful style. -No College, School, Public or Private Library should be without this brilliant book. -It makes an ideal gift to deserving pupils on the occasion of a Prize Distribution.
