DESCRIPTION:

God made all men equal, and His divine spark animates every being He created. All men are equal, and yet there are chosen few whom we call 'Men of God'. Why are they special? What makes these men and women the chosen of the Lord? What makes us venerate them as saints, mahatmas and spiritual leaders?

The answer is simple: they become chosen of the Lord because they chose the Lord above all else. They made bhakti, devotion, the foundation of their life. To whichever faith or denomination they belonged, they chose to do good to all. They chose truth, goodness, compassion, simplicity, service and sacrifice - and attained an exalted
status among men.

In the Fourth Volume of this ongoing series, Dada J.P.Vaswani introduces to us a few more of these saintly souls, each one of them are guides and saviours of humanity. Himself a universalist and a great spiritual leader whose religion of love and unity transcends all narrow creeds, Rev. Dada helps us touch the very heart of the mystery,
the great spiritual shakti that these saints represent.

Summary: Thus the aim of the book is so noble as to allow the reader to have the vision of unity in the midst of diversity. Description: The goal and purpose in writing this book is to highlight, in the midst of diversity, the essential unity that seems to be constitutive of such religions that have an orientation that is deeply mystical. Basing himself on the absolutistic metaphysical thought of Kashmir Saivism, the author thereby has attempted to interpret spirituality in such universal terms as would enable one to discover the principle of unity of Being among the spiritualities of all major religions.

As the title implies, its aim is to unravel the genuine message of Gotama, the Buddha, from the accretions in the Pali scriptures, by adopting the techniques of archaeologist. It is divided into two parts. Part one treats of "the discovery, the reconstruction, the rehabilitation of that which, at its birth, was a new and true word from very man to very man, true always and everywhere." Part two tells how this gospel came to be dressed "to suit a monastic set of ideals." An appendix dealing with Pali Pitakas is added.
