Excerpt from The Faith and Progress of the Brahmo Somaj

The absence of a book, which can give a tolerably complete idea of the principles of the Brahmo Somaj, has been often felt and expressed. It is to remove this want as far as possible that the following pages are offered to the public. They contain the substance of what the author has written from time to time during the last fifteen years. Much of what originally appeared has been recast, and almost rewritten. A great deal also has been retained with fewer alterations. An attempt to systematize and arrange the whole, so as to answer the main object of the book, has been carefully made. With what success it remains to be seen.

The ruling ambition of the Brahmo Somaj is to bring back the human mind to rediscover, re-model, and re-embody the eternal essence of religion.
