- gel farzo yao 011e11 - have reclaimed many flesh-eaters to the pure Hindu vegetarian diet and have taught them to respect the feelings even of the lower creation-an object lesson of spiritual life which India has still to preach and teach to most of the civilized nations of the world.
Your strong protests against the misrepresentations by the American Missionaries of the Indian life and morals, your valuable advice, for the introduction of the American system of practical education in. Indian schools, your genuine desire to see our Indian students in England, paying particular attention of English arts and manufactures with the object of improving and promoting Indian industries, your contributions to the Indian press for drawing the attention of our educated youths to commercial fields that are open for them in England and America - these are some of the multifarious subjects that have held us in unspeakable wonder, and speak volumes for your sound judgement and.comprehensive abilities.
This large and influential gathering rejoices to see that you are the first Hindu among the whole Hindu Community of India, to take your wife to America and to give a partial illustration of the life of an Indian Hindu woman to our sisters of the Western Hemisphere. A short stay of nearly two years of your son Master Mohan in America, and his training in an American Educational Institution, give us every hope that he will be a second Gandhi after you to pick up, with the greatest zeal and interest, the work which you have commenced so successfully of implanting “India in America."
In conclusion, we wish you a hearty bon voyage to England and America and a happy return to our dear country after fulfilling your noble mission of preaching Oriental Philosophy.
On behalf of the Friends and Admirers, assembled in a Public Meeting held at Novelty Theatre. BOMBAY,
