Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sri Krishna the Soul of Humanity: A Critical Study of His Life and Genius This critical study of Sri Krishna's Life and Genius is meant primarily to serve as an introduction to the larger and more comprehensive study of the Lord's religion of Love, Liberty and Sacrifice. The Supreme Religion of Sm' Krishna. Is the title of the forthcoming volume whose detailed contents are given in the last page of this book. Sri Krishna is the quintessence of India's spiritual civilisation, the sublimest synthesis and embodiment of the noblest and the best that the illustrious land of Bharata varsha has ever given out' of her inmost heart and soul to God and Collective Humanity; and the bhagavad-gita is not by itself sufficient to illustrate the more truly religious, as different from philosophic, aspects of the Highest Avat-ar's Life and Teachings. The eternal joy emanating from the humble Cradle at Gokula, the ineflable radiance of the beauty-boy of Brindavam, the ever heightening melodies of the soul-rapture of Radha are drowned in the thunder, obscured and beclouded in the din and dust of the battle-field of Kurukshetra Where the stern Voice of God sounded the deathless song of liberty in activity, joy in sacrifice and righteousness asthe be-all and end-all of human existence. The Divine Charioteer of Partha was no less eloquent and heavenly tongued in His sublime discourses on subjects of universal interest and importance with the Emperor Yudhistira, whose heart-homage and adoration He drew to Himself in no less measure than His own heart gave to the pure and proud Empress Draupadi, the Passion-incarnate Goddess. The Cow herd Prince of Vraja is the princeliest of all mankind, the supremest prophet, poet and philosopher, all com bined in one; and He is as much of an ideal king, statesman and warrior as He is undoubtedly the most universally acclaimed Friend and Playmate, Lover and Beloved, Redeemer and Saviour of every human heart. The religion of Sri Krishna comprises all the loftiest elements of the human heart, mind and soul, and the true divinity of His Life is made manifest not so much even by the recorded doings and sayings'of His individual person as by the everlong and ever growing, the hallowed holiest loves and aspirations, dreams and ideals, which His name and example, His Godliest Personality, has been productive of since the day of His birth full five thousand years back and promises to be still more so in the future ages of world-democracy and Universal brother-sisterhood.
