[...] cause so dear to us all—mutual understanding and toleration the very first necessary step to that higher unity which is at once the dream of the l)oet the fervent prayer of the philosopher the hope of the rising generation and the true destiny of India."3 1 The Indian World p. 337. [...] The distant din of the followers of La ilal a ill-Allah at the gates of the Brahmaridega and the rdiscovery of the vigorous message of Ekamevadvtiam by the great *Samkaracharya of the land of Agastya Rsi were happenings of the most surprising coincidence in India of the 9th century. [...] Later on the influx of the Islamic invaders in the Northern India shook the citadels of the orthodox pundits who migrated towards the South (although the Aryanisation of the South is as old as the migration of Agastya and the compostion of the Mindyana) carrying with them the47 Vaisnavism of the Mahabharata and Visnu Purana amalgam. [...] This paved the way to the foundation of a mighty all-India religion by the 12th century under the leadership of the great Ramanuja on the ruins of the Vedic and Buddhistic religions by mingling the char asters of the Lord of Kurkshetra and of Bodh-Gaya in the person of the Vedic Visnu and finishing the whole picture with the colour of the Vedantic doctrine of Ole God.
