"This book may inform all learned and general people that Orthodox Vedic Religion or Sanatana Dharma in spite of carrying its eternally glorious and unalterable character which, if exercised well, can make every life fruitful and peaceful, has developed into Hinduism and neo-Hinduism in course of time on account of some addition made to it by the later Hindus who again made it subsequently more enlarged, expansive, non-communal and democratic by attaching some reformations to it."
