Synopsis:
In this excellent and groundbreaking book analysing ancient India's culture, the authors demonstrate that this was far from primitive, and had far reaching influence on the outside world. They show the Rig Veda to be much older than hitherto thought, and unravel the mathematical and astronomical code hidden in vedic hymns. India possessed a high spiritual culture, which not only influenced the evolution of the Western world in decisive ways, but which still has much to teach us today.
India's archaic spirituality is codified in the rich symbols, metaphors, and myths of the magnificent Rig-Veda, which is shown to be much older than has been widely assumed by scholars.
Anyone interested in ancient cultural history, India, archaeo-astronomy, or spirituality will find this well researched and cross-cultural work spellbinding and enriching.
"In Search of the Cradle of Civilization is truly groundbreaking and will provoke vigorous debate. In my estimate, thi is a landmark book and the foundation for the rewriting of human history since 6000 BCE." Dr.Klaus Klostermeier.
"Obsessively readable and of tremendous importance, redating as it does the age of civiliazation by four thousand years." Colin Wilson.
"This reinterpretation of humankind's early history has the most profound implications for our understanding of modern society and its problematic future. The issue of the true "cradle of civilization" is of far more than academic importance; it is at the heart of our collective understanding of our roots and our apparent destiny. This is a tremendously important book." Willis Harman, President, Institute of Noetic Sciences.
"The authors have successfully unfolded the mystery of Indian cultural traditions to the eyes of Westerners and particularly the Indians who continue to see India through Western eyes." Dr.S.P.Gupta, chairman, Indian Archaeological Society.
"This is a fascinating attempt to set the record of India's ancient history straight, by clearing the field of much scholarly misinformation and disinformation. The work merits wide attention." Prof.K.L.Seshagiri Rao, cheif editor, Encyclopedia of Hinduism. |
