This book portrays the Hindu view of life in its totality-its origin, growth,
decay, and eternity. It surveys different schools of thought in the East & West,
beginning with the human belief in the Unseen, down to religious rites & the
birth of materialism. The author analyses over 500 ancient texts to justify
the Hindu cults of immortality, karma, transmigration of souls & image worship.
It underlines the fundamentals of physical science as found delineated in the
early Vedic texts and projects the Hindu concept of cosmic & bio-consciousness
as well as the spacetime continuum and the Supreme.
