Program and Organization
The Arya was advertised as "a review of pure philosophy" with a twofold object:
- A systematic study of the highest problems of existence.
- The formation of a synthesis of knowledge, harmonizing the diverse religious traditions of humanity, occidental as well as oriental.
The method of the review was described as one of "realism, at once rational and transcendental; a realism consisting in the unification of intellectual and scientific discipline with those of intuitive experimentation."
The material appearing in the Arya was organized under four main headings:
- Synthetic studies in speculative philosophy.
- Translations and commentaries of ancient texts.
- Studies in comparative Religion.
- Practical methods of inner culture and self development.

Famous quotes containing the words program and/or organization:
“They had their fortunes to make, everything to gain and nothing to lose. They were schooled in and anxious for debates; forcible in argument; reckless and brilliant. For them it was but a short and natural step from swaying juries in courtroom battles over the ownership of land to swaying constituents in contests for office. For the lawyer, oratory was the escalator that could lift a political candidate to higher ground.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The Red Cross in its nature, it aims and purposes, and consequently, its methods, is unlike any other organization in the country. It is an organization of physical action, of instantaneous action, at the spur of the moment; it cannot await the ordinary deliberation of organized bodies if it would be of use to suffering humanity, ... [ellipsis in original] it has by its nature a field of its own.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
