Foreword
It gives me unqualified pleasure to write these few words- introducing these excellent Lectures of Late Swami B. H. Bon Maharaj that he delivered in England and Germany in the third decade of the century. As Swamiji had been a man of tremendous self-confidence - a Bhakta who had so much identified himself with Bhagwan with his devotion that he himself became Bhagwan-it is most appropriate that the title of this book be "My Lectures in England and Germany."
A Simple turning of the pages to have a look at the most impressive title of various chapters, I am sure, is going to convince any one of the great comprehension of Indian Religion and Philosophy that the great Swamiji had. It is a happy augury that such a book be brought out which has as the title of its first chapter “Philosophy of Sri Kršņa Chaitanya" and he published in the fifth century year of the birth of the great Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Not only does it delineate on the personality of “Sri Kışņa Chaitanya”, Teachings of Sri Krsna Chaitanya The life and Message of Sri Krşņa Chaitanya, Sri Caitanya's concept of Divine Love and Sri Caitanya’s concept of Finite self showing thus a deep insight into the very authentic Philosophy and Religion of Love in India but also through chapters such as Sri Krsna Caitanya and catholic catechism shows the author's deep understanding of the Christion Philosophy and Religion of Love as well. Besides, his Lectures such as on man, Science & Technology Religion and Man, world Federation of Religions and the like show Swamiji to be a man of great universal understanding and goodwill.
It is my fervent hope and belief that a going through this book shall benefit all those who care to do so.
With all the best to all such readers.
