KULAPATPS PREFACE
The Bharatiya Vidya Bhavanthat Institute of Indian Culture in Bombay-needed a Book University,
a series of books which, if read, would serve the purpose of providing higher education.
Particular emphasis, however, was to be put on such literature as revealed the deeper impulsions
of India. As a first step it was decided to bring out in English 100 books, 50 of which were to be
taken in hand almost at once.
It is our intention to publish the books we select, not only in English, but also in the following
Indian languages: Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati. Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.
This scheme, involving the publication of 900 volumes, requires ample funds and an all-India
organization. The Bhavan is exerting its utmost to supply them.
The objectives for which the Bhavan stands are the reintegration of Indian culture in the light
of modern knowledge and to suit our present-day needs- and the resuscitation of its fundamental
values. in their pristine vigour.
Let me make our goal more explicit: We seek the dignity of man, which necessarily implies the
creation of social conditions which would allow him freedom to evolve along the lines of his own
temperament and capacities; we seek the harmony of individual efforts and social relations, not
in any makeshift way, but within the framework of the Moral Order we seek the creative art of
life, by the alchemy of which human limitations are progressively trans- muted, so that man may
become the instrument of God and is able to see Him in all and all in Him.
The world we feel, is too much with us. Nothing would uplift or inspire us so much as the beauty
and aspiratio
