In this book the Author has dealt with those fundamentals in such a way that it is a complete treatise expounding our Hindu Dharma in all its details, particularly the Aim of Life, The Hindu Civilization, The Asrama System, True Devotion, Image worship and The Path of Renunciation. It is verily a weapon to repel all the attacks on our Dharma and to solve all possible doubts. There is a ring of sincerity in every sentence of it, and the lofty ideas are expressed in apt and beautiful language and in a flowing and attractive style.

The original book "The Hindu Ideal" seemed voluminous in the view of some readers and just to accommodate them, his son Sri R. Krishnaswami Aiyar, M.A., & B.L., (later know as Sri Jnanananda Bharathi Swamigal) prepared an abstract in the author's own words, and obtained also the author's approval for the same. It deserves to be read by all Hindus and lovers of our ancient and unique culture.
