Badlani very sincerely admitts that he has compromised On academic qualities and it is meant more for nonacademics, who would benefit from Authentic infomation on Hinduism. Infact He has targated his book towards To-days youthful Hindu diaspora in the westem world. At the same time expecting that many of non Hindus may find this book appealing and get acquainted with knowledge on Hindu philosophy. The fact that some of the knowledge may be benilicial in every day living.
