Jnâna Yoga, Part II: Seven Lectures
Vivekananda, Swami
Vedanta; Yoga, Jñana
“This attractive little volume comprises three lectures on the Vedânta
Philosophy. The discourses will be found vitally helpful even by
those who know little and care less about the spiritual and ethical
teachings of which the Swâmi is an able and popular exponent. As the
Vedânta itself is largely a doctrine of universals and ultimates, so
also is this book of common utility and significance among all races of
believers. Its precepts are susceptible of application by any rational
thinker, regardless of religious predilection and inherited prejudices.
The principles set forth by this teacher are an excellent corrective
of spiritual bias or narrowness, and as such the present work is to be
commended. It has already awakened an interest in Oriental literature
that augurs well for the cause of human brotherhood, and it merits
a wide circulation among all who cherish advanced ideals.”--_Mind_,
April, 1902.

“This book has more than usual interest as coming from one who knows
the Occident and both knows and loves the Orient.... It is decidedly
interesting.... The book has two admirable qualities: breadth in
scope and suggestiveness in material.”--_Bulletin of the American
Geographical Society_, Sept., 1906.
“This volume, written in an attractive style and dealing with the life,
philosophy and religion of India, should prove a useful addition to
the literature of a fascinating and as yet largely unknown subject.
It is designed for popular reading, the metaphysical portions being
so handled that the reader runs little risk of getting beyond his
depth.”--_Literary Digest_, Feb. 16, 1907.
“The Swâmi possesses the exceptional advantage of being able to look
upon his own country almost from the standpoint of an outsider and to
handle his subject free from both foreign and native prejudice.”--_New
York World_, Aug. 4, 1906.
