The Significance of man
Absolute to be Reine Seyn or the 'Pure Being' of the Eleatics, I think that you will be very much interested as I am, with an East Indian doctrine which holds to personal individuality as the highest being and believes in individual immortality, in fact in immortality ante as well as post, a doctrine something like that of Professor Thomas Davidson and Professor George H. Howison of the University of California."
As the oriental Standpoint on the great problems of life and destiny has never been understood by the American people because those claiming to present this standpoint have done so either at secondhand or in a fragmentary way,-this opportunity should not be lost of hearing an Oriental scholar who is not only filled with the spirit of the oldest Hindu philosophy, but has made a profound study of a wide range of Sanskrit Literature on the various phases of Hindu thought.
Mr. Gandhi has been strongly urged to deliver this course and has kindly consented to dealy his departure from New York to deliver these lectures.
