Cultural Values in Ancient Indian Economic and Political Thoughts
Lallanji Gopal
Dr. Lallanji Gopal, formerly Professor of Ancient Indian History and Dean of Arts, Benaras Hindu University, gave three lectures on this topic on 5, 7 and 8 August 1995 at the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture, Golpark. This book contains the text of these lectures.
Be strong! ... You talk of ghosts and devils. We are the living devils. The sign of life is strength and growth. The sign of death is weakness. Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death. If it is strength, go down into hell and get hold of it! There is salvation only for the brave. None but the brave deserves the fair. None but the bravest deserves salvation.
-Swami Vivekananda
