"Some part of our being constantly urges us to think not only about pressing issues but also about questions that seem, at first glance, speculative: is there a God, where did this world and I come from, what is the... meaning of my existence? Moreover, according to the Vedas, the entire world with its sufferings and problems is created by God solely to make a person ponder and begin seeking a definitive solution to all their problems. This is precisely what the Vedic scriptures call upon a person to do" (B. V. Goswami). The quite complex aspects of Vedic philosophy are explained in this book in a popular and understandable way, while also being very profound. The Vedic views on the nature of the world and consciousness are examined by the author in comparison with the perspective of modern science. For a wide audience.
