Comparative Religion as a distinct subject of study has evoked much interest in recent times. In the three lectures that comprise this book, the author has tried to answer the following three questions: What exactly does Comparative Religion discuss and aim at? What is its method? What are its data? He believes that religions, in spite of their differences, have an underlying unity.
What do you gain in heaven? You become gods, drink nectar, and get rheumatism. There is less misery there than on earth, but also less truth.
-Swami Vivekananda
