"-The Mind (London) No. LVII, Jonuary 1890. "It seems as if modern European Science in developing the theory of evolution had made the Hindu philosopher for the first time really conscious of the true tendencies of several of his own systems, particularly of the Advaita-system signifying the religion of non-duality.. ..the learned Prof. Dvivedi .....also seems to admit that the principles of Advaita philosophy find a very convenient expression in the principles of European Monism.... -The Open Court (Chicago) No. 150. July 1890. "The little work will be a valuable one for students of the Advaita, and ought to be doubly interesting to those who have studied Madame Blavatsky's Secret Doctrine and can compare the author's ideas with the theories she put forth."-Theosophist, No. 116. Vol X. "...... The book is worth placing on every serious student's shelves............The root problems of free will and necessity, reincarnation and heredity, are thoroughly discussed and no difficulty shirked. Prof. Dvivedi's books should be referred to by our western theosophical writers and lecturers for the learned support they give to the system we are widely engaged in con- structing in the west, and which we believe will prove the salvation of the bark of occidental thought and science, which is fast going to pieces on the rocks of nagation and irreverence .Successive invasions... ....have changed the glorious Aryavarta of the past into the lethargic India of the present, the native noble paths of Jnana (gnosis) and Karma (action) have beed replaced by the.........debasing practice and belief of Bhakti and Prasada (devotion and grace ), so that our brother Manilal, in publishing this excelledt text book of the Advaita philosophy is doing yeoman service for that "Refor- mation" which is needed not only in the West but also in the East itself". ........Lucifer Vol. XIII.
