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.
Bless people when they revile you. Think how much good they are doing by helping to stamp out the false ego. Hold fast to the real Self. Think only pure thoughts, and you will accomplish more than a regiment of mere preachers. Out of purity and silence comes the word of power.
-Swami Vivekananda
