Synopsis

Whatever the times we live in - ancient, medieval or modern, we still need the sun for light. Similarly, whatever the times, we still need spiritual wisdom for illumination. Drawing perennial spiritual insights from the Vedic wisdom tradition of ancient India, Timeless Wisdom on Curent Issues shows how those insights illumine today’s challenges. What is the root cause of gang-rapes? What do scientific advances like the discovery of the God particle imply? Why do we see the paradox of misery amidst prosperity? Can we be spiritual without being religious? Why was the Bhagavad-gita mis-labeled as extremist in Russia? Are ancient scriptures like the Ramayana and traditional festivals like Janmashtami relevant today? How can we live spiritually in a materialistic age? How can devotion help us in times of trial? Gain the eye of wisdom to see timeless principles in action amidst the world’s seeming randomness and let those principles empower you to be an agent of change in your own life and in the world.
