Religion of Love–A Book Review

In my opinion the whole thesis is based on the philosophy of pantheism and the approach is made by the services of mankind. Religion of love is the true religious idea but if the approach is made through the service of mankind only, then the process is made imperfect, partial and unscientific.

The impersonalists masquerade as Vedantists, but actually they are defying Vedanta. All the Vedas affirm it vehemently that the Supersoul and the soul are two different identities, although qualitatively one.

The Soul and Reincarnation. Letter to a Christian.

As the embodied soul continually passes in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. The self-realized soul is not bewildered by such a change. Dear John, Hello, Hare Krishna. Thanks for the letter and this time I can understand what you are saying better.

All right, let me embrace him.” No. That is not the rule. When there is atatayi, ...Read More
