Faith in God

THE DIVINE UNIVERSAL GOSPELS OF SRI NIGAMANANDA: Translated by Bijoy Kumar Roy; ``Sonoscan'', Nayabazaar, Balasore- 756001, Orissa. Rs. 200.

INDIA HAS produced many spiritual leaders who had attempted to reform people and put them on the right path. One among them was Nigamananda. In his earlier days, he wanted to be an overseer but turned Godward and took to spiritual path, received training from the illustrious Guru of his days, toured places and ultimately settled in Puri.

A Bengali by birth, after becoming a religious leader, he preached God's message, established an Ashram in Durgapur, another at Jorhat and other service institutions. Apart from several works, the saint had delivered several lectures to be of use for all sections of society on various topics like Yoga, character-building, Vedanta, unity of religions, greatness of Hinduism, and messages of Sankara and Gauranga. Dr. B. K. Roy has translated the messages into English. Several mistakes in printing and spelling have crept in, which could have been avoided. The main teaching of the Guru is about faith in God and the need for Sadhana.
