Applied Hinduism - Ancient Wisdom for Today's World

Indian culture is a rich reservoir of mystical wisdom handed down over millennia. This spiritual knowledge can help in healing the restlessness and the stress faced by the current generation. Unfortunately, despite our long heritage of spiritual teachings, many of today's global citizens, especially the youth, are disdainful of spiritual pursuits, trashing them as 'unfashionable' although inwardly they long for peace and quiet - to make sense of the frenetic world they inhabit.

This book offers an understanding of India's ancient spiritual wisdom - not just for seekers of spirituality and peace, but also for those who want to make sense of the faith they follow mechanically, and make the most of the knowledge that lies buried in our great scriptures by applying them in everyday life.
