Here the author?in her inimitable style?gives a glimpse of the past glories and drawbacks of India in a nutshell. She has discussed the most important topics regarding Religion, Philosophy, Culture, Economics, Architecture, influence of the Gupta Dynasty, historical significance of the northern pilgrimage and some problems of Indian research. In the last chapter she has drawn a fine picture of Varanasi, the most ancient city of India. This is a book that will help all those who are eager to learn more about India.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything shall be added unto you. This is the one great duty, this is renunciation. Live for an ideal, and leave no place in the mind for anything else. Let us put forth all our energies to acquire that which never fails--our spiritual perfection. If we have true yearning for realization, we must struggle, and through struggle growth will come. We shall make mistakes, but they may be angels unawares.
