These principles echo Haridas Chaudhuri’s statements regarding the inevitability of religion as well as the need for us to “reconstruct” religion to contemporary issues. In his book, Modern Man’s Religion (1966), he thoughtfully noted:
"Religion is an autonomous function of the spirit. It can hardly be replaced by any non-religious discipline. That which seeks to replace religion in a radically atheistic and anti-religious mood begins soon to function as a special kind of religion. So the great need of our day is not to reject religion but to reconstruct it in accordance with the intellectual climate and the specific requirements of existence (ix)." -----. 1984 [1966].
