NEWSPAPER AND PERIODICAL REPORTS PUBLISHED IN HIS LIFETIME

An * denotes news reports not found in the Complete Works
 
Detroit Evening News

February 20 , 1894
 

The News has done the only sound service that has been done for the Detroit public and the occidental world in connection with this visit of the Hindu monk. It has wrested from highest Hindu authority testimony about the wonder working that has been so persistently claimed for the mahatmas of the east. Kananda says that the truth of the Hindu faith does not rest on wonder working. He makes no pretension either for himself or any of his countrymen on this line. He despises as much as any occidental can the tricks of the fakirs. Truth stands on its own feet. This testimony which The News has wrested from so high authority sweeps away the huge mass of claims that have been set up for the eastern mahatmas by such writers as Sinnet and Blavatski and the writer now running a series of articles in the Arena. The News appreciates Kananda, not as a popular fad, but because he has come and delighted us with the things that are valuable for their own sake. It was of course, not necessary to "wrest" a denunciation of miracle working from Swamiji. With every lecture and every interview he gave-indeed, by his very presence-he established for all thinking people the distinction between true Eastern mysticism and mysterious occultism.
