Here is a popular book which is meant not for the select fow, but for all those who have a desire to know something about Indian thought. In saying so, the author wishes to make it clear that, in this book, his study of Indian religion or any aspect of it, has not been of a specialist; his aim, on the other hand, has been to bring to people interested in Indian thought and culture some of the aspects of Indian religious thought which have sustained this country through the ages. In presenting this study the author has no pretensions. He has studied something of Indian religious thought in his own way, and considers it a privilege to share his thoughts with those who are eager to know about them.
The topics dealt with in this book are not apparently interrelated, and yet, the author thinks, they have some- thing in common. A perusal of the subjects included will, it is hoped, enable the reader to guess that, in dealing with the various topics, the mind of the author works under a deep conviction-a conviction regarding the special quality of the national mind of India. In spite of India's vastness and variety, all her people, the author opines, constitute a single nation even in the modern sense of the term; and the Indian mind has a special quality of its own. That special quality of the national mind has expressed itself in her philosophy, religion, and literature, in her arts and crafts.
In his persent study, the author's endeavour has been to discover this special quality of the Indian mind as expressed through some of its religious and literary thoughts. The article on The Indian attitude towards Nature' does not obviously fall under the caption Indian Religions Thought'.
