Description

A Symposium on the Great Scriptures of the World

Religion without philosophy is blind, and philosophy without religion is lame. It is in the holy scriptures that philosophy and religion meet and mingle, satisfying the head and the heart.

Holy scriptures are many in number, as each faith has its distinct scripture. This is right. In the framework of time and space the one Reality reveals itself variously. Each revelation is embodied in a scripture that meets the needs of the age and the aspiration of the race. Naturally there are bound to be superficial differences in the manner of exposition by the different scriptures. But the basic essence of all the scriptures if the same.

This compilation offers choice bouquet of essays on various holy scriptures written by Savants who are deep-read in their themes.
