The object of a translator should ever be to hold the mirror up to his author. That being so, his chief duty is to represent so far as practicable the manner in which his author's ideas have been expressed, retaining if possible at the sacrifice of idiom and taste all the peculiarities of his author's imagery and of language as well. In regard to translations from the Sanskrit, nothing is easier than to dish up Hindu ideas, so as to make them agreeable to English taste. But the endeavour of the present translator has been to give in the following pages as literal a rendering as possible of the great work of Vyasa.

The reason for this criticism seems to be, that while one small set of students is interested in, and familiar with the themes examined in the first part (namely the psychological characteristics of certain mental states from which, in part, the doctrine of spirits is said to have arisen), that set of students neither knows nor cares anything about the matter handled in the second part.
If you've watched the show Ancient Aliens then you know about the theory of ancient alien races building superior civilizations before man and with man. Strangely, the Bible, the Koran, Hindu texts, mythology, and other ancient manuscripts lend 100% support, if not evidence, to these theories of Ancient Aliens. The only change is man's point of view from ancient times to the present. What we now call aliens were once called angels, cherubim, seraphim, watchers, nephilim, messengers, demons, devils, Morning Star, Satan, Lucifer, etc. If these did produce offspring via woman, and they produced giants in the land, then these were the giants of mythology, and the Biblical 'men of great renown.' Now assembled in six volumes are some of the hardest to find research on these Ancient Aliens of the First Contact with mankind. The television shows keep pondering the question, are extraterrestrials going to be friendly or hostile to man. If this research of the ancient aliens is true, then the answer to the question is already recorded... the aliens will be both friendly and hostile.
According to Christianity and other religions, marriage IS the solution to the sex problem. But is it? or better - why is it not being the solution?

A day will come when the European God of the nineteenth century will be classed with the gods of Olympus and the Nile; when surplices and sacramental plate will be exhibited in museums; when nurses will relate to children the legends of the Christian mythology as they now tell them fairy tales.
The great men of knowledge sacrificed on the altar of ridicule by the Christian Church and its illiterate leaders.
FAR back in the twilight of the pictured history of the past, the cross is found on the borders of the river Nile. A horizontal piece of wood fastened to an upright beam indicated the hight of the water in flood. This formed a cross, the Nileometer. If the stream failed to rise a certain hight in its proper season, no crops and no bread was the result. From famine on the one hand to plenty on the other, the cross came to be worshiped as a symbol of life and regeneration, or feared, as an image. of decay and death. This is one, so called, origin of the Cross.
Jesus in India is an English version of Masih Hindustan mein, an Urdu treatise written by the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835 - 1908).

IT is a natural, nor can it be deemed an illaudable curiosity to be desirous of being informed of whatever relates to those who have eminently distinguished themselves for sagacity, parts, learning, or what else may have exalted their characters, and thereby entitled them to a degree of respect superior to the rest of their cotemporaries.
It is funny that one really never stops to consider what life is all about until it is over. When the physical body dies, and the spirit returns to its natural state of being, then the ways of the Universe become clear. Not everything is answered
