Description
These are the days when the world is very busy running after material achievements. For a worldly mind blinded by gross sensuality, nothing beyond the ken of material sciences appears to have any value or charm. Progress is always conceived and measured by them in terms of worldly goods and chattel.
The materialistic philosophy has many a camp follower, and the prophets of the creed of “Eat, Drink and be Merry” are also increasing in number. As a result, the world has become a veritable battlefield, because fight is inevitable where innumerable individuals actuated by insatiable ambitions run after enjoyments and objects, which are limited in number and conditioned by so many relative causes.
This earthly plane is finite, limited and subject to change and destruction. Unless some saving power comes to the rescue of humanity to extricate it from the hopelessness of inadequate concepts and imperfect ideologies, the humanity would be irretrievably lost.
This book is another work of Master Sivananda, the Master of the New Age, containing a masterly exposition of the principles and methods of practice of the life-saving spiritual science. Aptely is habeen names as Divine Nectar, as the apirant once tasting the drop of it willnot rest contents until he gulps down the whole lot. Siva's writings are not pednatic, boredoms, but a sweet music of depth and beauty thrilling its hearers and readers.
