THIRTEENTH AND FOURTEENTH CHAPTER

In these chapters, swamiji has criticised Islam and Christianity, which were not born in Aryavartt. For centuries, these religions have criticised vedic religion. Though, these religions could not secure much ground in India but their influence is evident in political and cultural fields. Unlike the followers of Budhism and Jainism, the life style of the followers of these religions is very different from that of Indians. Christians used their political power and deceitfulness to convert Hindus in their religion. In this direction, they gained certain success in south India. But, despite their herculean efforts, number of Christians in India is not too much.

In thirteenth chapter, swamiji has criticised Islam and in fourteenth chapter, swamiji has criticised Christianity in a symbolic way on the basis of illogical beliefs prevalent in these relions. He has discussed certain portions of Bible and Kuraan. The persons, who will compare the principles of these religions with that of vedic religion will be able to know the truth. Swamiji’s purpose was only to stop the flow of these religions and to provide the Hindus, the base of their own religion. He believed that only vedic dharam can meet the condition of truthfulness in all times and places. Swamiji wanted to throw light on many philosophical and non- philosophical principles of vedic dharam by writing this book so as to enable man to know the ultimate truth.

 In the end of this book, swamiji has written his beliefs and non-beliefs. A reader understands the book better, if he is able to know the ultimate views of the writer on the different concepts, discussed at large in the book.
