By the end of 1934, Swami B.H. Bon gave a series of lectures at various universities in Germany (on the invitation of Dr. Joseph Goebbels).
These lectures were published in 1935 in a booklet called "Gedanken uber den Hinduismus".
The lectures were originally prepared in English by Swami Bon and translated into German by Svami Sadananda Dasa (E.G. Schulze).
A number of lectures were re-published in the English language in the quarterly "Indian Philosophy and Culture" as well as in the book "My Lectures in England and Germany".
(the copy below has a dedication to Prof. F. Spiegelberg; Swami Bon describes their meeting in "Second Year of the Gaudiya Mission in Europe").
