and wants the clippings of newspaper stories<br />

written about him when he was a visitor in<br />

Denver, hence his letter to Mrs. Kramer.<br />

In the passing of Saomi Ram India loses one of its<br />

greatest benefactors, for he was putting forth all his<br />

energies to abolish caste, which he said, was the<br />

curse of India.<br />

"Educate twenty young Hindu men in your great<br />

American universities and they can break up the<br />

caste system in India," he said while in Denver. He<br />

wrote for magazines and newspapers and wrote<br />

many books, for Saomi Ram was well versed in the<br />

English language, and literary people will receive<br />

news of his death with sorrow. His following in the<br />

West has grown to large proportions, too.<br />

"<strong>The</strong> Common Path" is what he called the new<br />

religion, and its object was to regulate the conduct<br />

of the present life, like this.<br />

To minimize the waste of energy.<br />

To abolish wear and tear of the body and mind.<br />

To obtain freedom from dissipation, due to envy,<br />

vanity, distemper and the blues.<br />
