Ritual, Religion, and the Sacred Selections from the Annales Economies, Societies, Civiliza... Book

A very well written set of thoughts on religion, its purpose and ways to attain your spiritual goals. It is a book that can be read and used by every person belonging to any religion or even an atheist. Even though this book is based on the lecture given in 1920, the facts and arguments brought out in the book are absolutely applicable today and perhaps to eternity. The author makes a strong case for the scientific method of meditation and Yoga as taught by the ancient sages of India. He has also very beautifully explained what a religion should be, to be useful to every human being regardless of his place and circumstances of birth on this planet. A very short book and easy to grasp. This is a must read book for every traveller in the path of spiritual quest so that his resolve is strengthened further to seek God or the ultimate truth. At the end several reviews of a set of works for further reading and practising provided, makes it a book that can open many doors for the reader.
