"The
True History and the Religion of India"
How and why this book was written

It so happened that once a visiting
professor gave some material on Hinduism to His Divinity Swami
Prakashanand Saraswati when he was in Barsana Dham, USA. He
casually glanced through it and was surprised to see that
every aspect of Hinduism was being reproached. He called one
of his devotees (a professor in New Delhi) who sent a number
of books which are prescribed for post graduate study in Hinduism.
They were all published by renowned publishers and written
by the renowned scholars and professors of the universities
of India.
Shree Swamiji says, “I read those books and I was in tears.
I couldn’t believe my eyes that Bhartiya culture was being
so badly derogated and misrepresented by the Indian scholars.”
He was shocked to find what was still being taught in the
schools and colleges of India even after more than 56 years
of Independence. He further explored and discovered that the
libraries of India and the whole world are flooded with such
derogatory writings of western and Indian scholars. Originally
these derogatory books were the outcome of English diplomacy
that tried to degrade Hindu culture by all means according
to their well planned scheme. In this way an enormous amount
of such books were written during those days. Later on, the
same trend was adopted by the Hindu writers. (It is all described
in this book.) |

Shree
Swamiji’s whole life is dedicated to spread the universal
teachings of his beloved Master, Bhakti-yog-rasavatar,
Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, the supreme acharya
of this age. He thought to do something to save India’s
Vedic heritage and re-establish its Divine glory. It
was a monumental task to research on such a wide subject,
but, it was truly a miracle that with the Grace of his
beloved Master this encyclopedic work was completed
in a year’s time. |
