This is the fascinating biography, first published in 1985, of the remarkable Bengali religious leader Swami Pranavananda who lived in the turbulent years of the early twentieth century. The story of his life has to some extent been eclipsed by the struggle for Indian independence, but his extraordinary personal qualities, his determined asceticism, his high ideals of social service and commitment to Hindu solidarity all serve to set him apart from his contemporaries and entitle him to be better known by political and religious historians of the period.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Impression. Paperback. This is a fascinating biography of the remarkable Bengali religious leader, Swami Pranavananda who lived in the turbulet years of the early twentieth century. The story of his life has to some extent been eclipsed by the better known personalities of the Hindu Renaissance and the struggle for Indian independence, but his extraordinary personal qualities, his determined asceticism, his high ideals of social service and commitment to Hindu Solidairy - all serve to set him apart from his contemporaries and entitle him to be better known by political and religious historians of the period. With admirable clarity and insight Professor Ninian Smart recreates the atmosphere of the small Bengali village in which the Acharya (as Swami Pranavananda was known) was brought up. He describes the forces which shaped his psiritual development and the early reactions to him of his followers. From humble beginnings the Acharya's spiritual career took him to Banaras and to many other Hindu holy places where he felt it is mission to bring order and social service to the exploited and poverty-striken pilfrims who found solace there. The story takes us to his death which did not extinguish the hope for the ultimate restoration of Hindu glory. Here, then, is a timely re-appraisal of a little known Indian saint whose life story casts new light on Hindu spirituality and popular religious feeling in pre-independent India. It will appeal to all students of Hindu religious and political history. 171 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
