"A searching sermon on the theme that 'he who disuses or misuses a faculty must lose it.' The teaching is enforced from the story of Samson and illustrated from life and literature with a richness and aptness which go far to express Dr. Hillis's power and popularity as a preacher. A supplementary sermon on 'How the Inner Light Grows, ' in which prayer as a source of spiritual nourishment is presented with equal penetration and interest, is added, the two making a charming booklet."-The Northwestern Christian Advocate

The Inner Light (atmajyoti) is an autobiographical account of the remarkable life of Swami Chetanananda Saraswati. It is the poignant story of a young boy who drifts towards the path of spirituality and relentlessly pursues it through his youth, even while leading a householder’s life or as a busy academician being a top agricultural scientist. It is all about his spiritual journey; spiritual awareness, awakening, and supreme consciousness. The book begins with a chapter on Param Guru Swami Nigamananda Paramahamsa Dev, whose seminal book Yogi Guru motivated Swami Chetanananda Saraswati. It reveals some mystical spiritual experiences of the author during yoga sadhana before he met Sri Vishuddhananda Saraswati (Guru Baba, a disciple of Swami Nigamananda Paramahamsa Dev); his initiation by Guru Baba, sanyas after retirement, and subsequent work as a monk contributing to society as a karma yogi (one who follows the path of selfless action) to be known as Swami Chitanananda. The book has an interesting collection of selected writings, which include Swami Chetanananda Saraswati’s discourse – Who and What is God, delivered at IIT Kharagpur.

Through a series of sharply focused studies spanning three centuries, David Rollison explores the rise of capitalist manufacturing in the English countryside and the revolution in consciousness that accompanied it. Combining the empiricism of English historiography with the rationalism of Annales, and drawing on ideas from a wide range of disciplines, he argues that the explosive implications of the rise of rural industry created new social formations and altered the communal, cultural and social contexts of peoples lives. Using localized case studies of families and individuals the book starts with significant detail and moves out to build up a subtle and innovative view of English cultural identities in the early modern period.
