The publisher's note
This is a posthumous publication of the author Dr. Swami B. H. Bon Maharaj, who left his mortal remains in July 7, 1983 at his Bhajan Kutir at Vrindaban in the district of Mathura. Through out his preaching life as a monk under guidance of his most celebrated Spiritual Master Om Bishnupad Sreemad Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Thakur, the founder-President of the famous Gaudiya Maths all over the world. he delivered hundreds of lectures to the top ranking educationist, philosophers and religious leaders of the East and West, but unfortunately proper recording of his valuable speeches was not done during the prime of his life. Attention towards it was paid only when he fell victim to the pernicious type of cardiac and stomach troubles and when he expressed his desire to commemorate the fifty century Advent Day Celebration of Lord Sri Krsna Caitanya by compiling some of his lectures. One of his beloved disciples Sri Bansibadan Saha. a high ranking retired Railway Officer, came forward with a zeal of a youngman to collect the lectures from the presserved old records and got them ready with the approval of Swamiji who was then practically disabled in all respects owing to the burden of age and the complicated diseases. He had the desire to get his lectures thus compiled by the unfiring labour of Sri Saha printed in a book form under the caption "My Lectures in England and Germany" before his passing away. Hence printing started here at Vrindaban so that he himself could look into proofs, but Providence ordains otherwise. He was completety incapacitated to do anything and inefficient proof-reading has resulted in cropping up mistakes in printing for which an errata has been attached.
Readers are, therefore, requested to peep into the depth of the thoughts and the new angle of vision that the author had towards the Spiritual problems, dwelt upon in all the lectures with the eyes of indifference to the defects in printing.
