Description
Mysterious is this universe and mysterious is the source from which it emanates. Mysterious are the manifestations before us. The creator is a mystery and the creation is a marvel. No one can comprehend the mystery of the cosmos. Yet human-kind is engaged in exploring these mysteries from time immemorial. This has given rise to various thoughts, philosophies, sciences, disciplines of knowledge and religious beliefs.
The present volume is an attempt to give a glimpse of man’s uninterrupted attempt in exploring the mysteries of sorts. Obviously, therefore, it touches upon various faiths, philosophical approaches, books of wisdom and different branches of human knowledge as also diverse approaches prevalent in the East and the West. It gives an insight into the theist’s view of God and the atheist’s view of life. Emphasis has, however, been given to the Indian thought and wisdom. The touchstone of right and wrong from the Indian point of view has been elaborated and the challenges ahead likely to be faced by mankind have also been spelt out.
