Almost all the essays embodied in this volume originally appeared in the Young Men of India in 1928 and I wish to acknowledge the courtesy of the Editor in allowing me to reprint them. I have also included an article on Kaliyuga, not written by me, from the 'Madras Mail' with the kind per-mission of its Editor.
These essays are the result of personal observation. I am conscious of the fact that in many instances the celebration of the festivals seems to be not in conformity with the rules laid down in the Shastras. A perusal of the essays will, I doubt not create a desire in the hearts of many of my readers to observe with greater care some of these happenings in their workaday lives. In describing the cere-monies certain seemingly critical statements may have been made. I can assure my readers that no offence to anyone is meant.
