A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Western or to Indian readers. A most sincere disciple of Swami Vivekananda, who was himself a follower of the great Ramakrishna, she brought to the study of Indian life and literature a sound knowledge of Western educational and social science, and an unsurpassed enthusiasm of devotion to the peoples and the ideals of her adopted country. Her chief works areT heW eb of Indian Life, almost the only fair account of Hindu society written in English, and Kail theM other, where also for the first time the profound tenderness and terror of the Indian Mother-cult are presented toW estern readers in such a manner as to reveal its true religious and social significance. Through these books Nivedita became not merely an interpreter of India toE urope, but even more, the inspiration of a new race of Indian students, no longer anxious to be A nglicized, but convinced that all real progress, as distinct from mere political controversy, must be based on national ideals, upon intentions already clearly expressed in religion and art. Sister Nivedita suntimely death in 1911 has made it necessary that the present work should be completed by another hand. The following parts of the text as here printed are due to Sister Nivedita: Mythology of the I ndo-A ryan races (pp. 1-5) ;pp. 14-22 of the Introduction to the Ramayana; the whole of theM ahabharata {except pp. 186-190) ;part of the section onS hiva (pp. 291-295); the comment on Kacha and Devayani

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
