Chapter XIV: The Renaissance in India 147-161

This essay, a summary of the book of Professor
Andrews, formerly of Delhi, now associated with
Sir Rabindranath Tagore 149

But with additions and conclusions of my own 149

The Renaissance in Europe needed a Reformation
to supplement it, and a similar renaissance in
India requires a similar reformation 150

History of religious systems in India begins with
the Rig-Veda, and is followed by the Upanishads 152

Hindu incarnations are not permanent, and the
Trimurti is not the Christian Trinity 153

The Krishna of the Puranas is a model of the
worst forms of vice 154

Deification of God's works fixes the distinctions of
caste, and the degradation of woman 154

Christianity is needed to unite the Hindu and the
Moslem 155

Signs of an approaching reformation in the weakening
of class barriers and the spiritual interpretation
of the old religions 156

The Brahmo-Somaj and the Arya-Samaj aim to
bring Hinduism back to the standards of the
Vedas 158

The Aligarh Movement among the Mohammedans,
and the Aligarh College in Delhi 158

Swami Vivekananda, and his denial that men are
sinners 159

The Theosophical Society and Mrs. Besant, a
hindrance to missions 160

Justice Renade, in his social reform movement, sees
in Christianity the one faith which can unite all
races and all religions in India 160

In Christ alone India's renaissance can become a
complete reformation 161
