Religion in todays world has taken such a tumultuous overturn, that people have almost forgotten what religion stands for: Religion leaders and saints have always preached that religion has a calming effect on the people. But people tend to forget that, and end up fighting with each other on the context of religion itself.
Eternal Wisdom of India depicts the way religion has been seen through the ages and how it affects the whole structure of mankind. It reviews the ancient ideals, and points out how the power the power of religion has been abused. The book analyses religion and social tensions and also tells us how harmony should be maintained. It also emphasises on universal brotherhood and asks people to draw inspiration from Buddha, Mira Bai, Sri Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Chaitanya, The Holy Mother Sarada Devi, swami Vivekananda and many more.
The book thoroughly delineates the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda movement which steered the entire world towards its betterment. A whole new set of logical ideas has been dealt with, as the readers get food for thought about how and why people manipulate religion. Swami Lokeshwarananda shows how we can stop it and take milk out of water like the paramhans.
