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:
“Worn down by the hoofs of millions of half-wild Texas cattle driven along it to the railheads in Kansas, the trail was a bare, brown, dusty strip hundreds of miles long, lined with the bleaching bones of longhorns and cow ponies. Here and there a broken-down chuck wagon or a small mound marking the grave of some cowhand buried by his partners “on the lone prairie” gave evidence to the hardships of the journey.”

“I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own. If they could apply their higher sense of service and responsibility, their freshness of enthusiasm, their capacity for organization to this problem, it would become, as it should become, an issue of profound patriotism. The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
