"ARYA" ————— MONTHLY REVIEW. —————       The "ARYA" is a Review of pure philosophy.       The object which it has set before itself is twofold:—       1. A systematic study of the highest problems of existence;      2. The formation of a vast Synthesis of knowledge, harmonising the diverse religious traditions of humanity occidental as well as oriental. Its method will be that of a realism, at once rational and transcendental,—a realism consisting in the unification of intellectual and scientific discipline with those of intuitive experience.       This Review will also serve as an organ for the various groups and societies founded on its

Notes on the Texts       Notes on the Mahabharata. This article (part of which will be published in the next issue of A & R) was written not long after September 1901, when an article by Velandai Gopala Aiyer entitled "The Date of the Mahabharata War" was published in The Indian Review (Madras).

In the portion published in the present issue, he alluded to the argument of a scholar named Weber, which was cited by Aiyer in his article. The physical evidence o

  Record of Yoga       15 APRIL-1 JUNE 1914 April 15th Wednesday.       Today the siddhi is beginning to reemerge decidedly from its obscuration. The same movement, however, continues. Mahakali personality & dasya resist all attempts at disturbance; but the former is diminished in force by being confined to personality and barred from control over the bhava and the action in which the other three vary their combinations. Prema & kama of Mahasaraswati (the Sudrani) generalise themselves more & more & with them grows the dasya to individuals arising out of the dasya to God as well as the general dasyalipsa. This is today confirmed in universal atma-samarpana. The B
