The matter contained in this book was originally presented as a thesis in connection with the university of London but it has since been considerably revised, and in parts re-written. The purpose of this series of small volumes on the leading forms which religious life has taken in India is to produce really reliable information for the use of all who are seeking the welfare of India. Editors and writers alike desire to work in the spirit of the best modern science, looking only for the truth. But, while doing so and seeking to bring to·the interpretation of the systems under review such imagination and sympathy as characterize the best study in the domain of religion to-day, they believe they are able to shed on their work fresh light drawn from the close religious intercourse which they have each had with the people who live by the faith herein described; and their study of the relevant literature has in every instance been largely supplemented by persistent questioning of those likely to be able to give information. In each case the religion described is brought into relation with Christianity. It is believed that all readers, in India at least, will recognize the value of this practical method of bringing out the salient features of Indian religious life.

Frank Ernest Keay, D. Litt. (Lond.), author of Hindi literature and Ancient Indian Education. In the days in which Kabir Lived, a development of vernacular literature had already begun. This was helped by the Vaishnava revival in its various forms, as all the Bhakti Seats came to use the vernacular. Kabir has sometimes been called the father of Hindi literature. In attempting to write about the ancient education of India, one of the greatest difficulties has been to ascertain all the available material. The literature of India is very bulky, and only a small portion of it has been translated into English.
