“This little book gives an account of the character and career of the
remarkable man known in India as Paramahamsa Srimat Râmakrishna, who is
regarded by a great number of his countrymen as a divine incarnation.
It is not more remarkable for the story it tells of a holy man than for
the clear English in which it is told, and the expressions of elevated
thought in its pages.”--_Journal_, Indianapolis, May 13th, 1901.
“The book, besides telling the life of Sri Râmakrishna, gives an
insight into some of the religious ideas of the Hindus and sets forth
the more important ideals that vitally influence India’s teeming
millions. If we are willing to sympathetically study the religious
views of our Aryan brethren of the Orient, we shall find them governed
by spiritual concepts in no way inferior to the highest known to
ourselves, concepts which were thought out and practically applied
by these ancient philosophers in ages so remote as to antedate
history.”--_Post, Washington_, May 13th, 1901.

“The Swâmi Abhedânanda’s writings are also companionable and
readable.... The Philosophy of India, being the bringing together of
the best thoughts and reasonings of the best men for the thousands of
preceding years, had under consideration the self-same problems that
are to-day vexing the souls of our philosophers. The Swâmi’s book is
therefore not so radical a departure from accepted thought as might
at first be imagined.... It is not meat for babes, but rather will it
give new lines of thought to the brightest intellects.”--_Transcript_,
Boston, Aug., 1903.
“His method of dealing with these fundamental questions is peculiarly
free both from dogmatic assertion and from pure metaphysical
speculation.”--_Inter-Ocean_, Chicago, Aug., 1903.
“He bases his arguments, not on theological hypotheses, but on
scientific facts.”--_Cleveland Plain Dealer_, Aug., 1903.
“It is written in a plain and logical style, and cannot fail to
interest all who are anxious for information concerning the philosophy
of which the author is such an able exponent.”--_Times_, Pittsburg,
June, 1903.
