Many want to know what Hinduism is. Many are astonished to hear that Hinduism has no particular creed. Indeed, Hinduism is hard to define. Hinduism is a system which comprises within its fold an infinite variety of thoughts. In this book published by Advaita Ashrama, a Publication centre of Ramakrishna Math, an attempt has been made to give a bird's-eye view of Hinduism with extracts from the speeches and writings of Swami Vivekananda who may be said to be the best exponent of Hinduism in modern India. The excerpts have been culled from the author's Complete Works.

An astonishing book that will lead to rewrite the history of mankind. An unexplored world, a journey beyond the boundaries of human history. From over five thousand years India and Pakistan seem to guard jealously a forgotten past, a secret locked inside of the oldest traditions that human history knows. The journey starts from an highly evolved civilization but fall into oblivion, a culture that left to posterity a huge amount of texts transmitted orally and later merged into Hinduism. Traditions that speak of lost civilizations, wars fought between men and gods with highly advanced technologies and machines capable of flying in the air and in space called Vimana. Following the tracks and studies conducted in the ’70s by David William Davenport, has set new light on the events that led to the destruction of the city of Mohenjo Daro (Pakistan) and the disappearance of the Harappan civilization tying their story to submerged ruins discovered in the Indian Ocean and dated back to 10,000 years ago.

The truth is rarely simple. The common consensus is that Swami Vivekananda, as Sri Ramakrishna's chosen disciple, spread his master's message across the world. The fact, though, is that after Ramakrishna's death in 1886, Vivekananda not only shifted the devotional emphasis of the new monastic order from Kali to Shiva, he also embraced a world far removed from Ramakrishna's - a world that was rational, scientific, masculine, orthodox and nationalistic. The essays in this volume examine Vivekananda's formulation of Hinduism as religion: the most definitive restatement of Hinduism in modern history. Erudite yet accessible, consistently probing and sceptical of hoary traditions, controversial and thought-provoking, Cosmic Love and Human Apathy is an invaluable addition to the existing scholarship on one of India's greatest religious and social icons. Swami Vivekananda's Restatement of Religion 'A book of substance and importance written in an engaging, straightforward style, illuminated by flashes of wit and, of course, by the author's deep knowledge of the cultural background and historical record. [It] will become the classic statement about Vivekananda in this generation' - David Shulman

This book published by Advaita Ashrama, Publication House of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India, is an English translation by Swami Sunirmalananda of the original Bengali book Ek Natun Manush containing six essays on the great Master by Revered Swami Atmasthanandaji Maharaj, the present President of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission. Swami Vivekananda once said: ‘Sri Ramakrishna is not exactly what the ordinary followers have comprehended him to be. He had infinite moods and phases.’ On another occasion he said, ‘Basketfuls of philosophical books can be written on each single sentence spoken by the Master!’ The thought-provoking essays of this book are the results of the revered author’s reverential reflection on that great life. It is hoped that a study of them will help the readers towards acquiring deeper reverence and comprehension of Sri Ramakrishna’s sublime life and profound teachings.
