In this book, based on Swami Vivekananda's lectures 'The Cosmos - The Macrocosm and the Microcosm', the author helps us to become aware of what is perhaps the most vital connection that we, as individuals, have with the universe. Without this intrinsic link, we can never understand the concept of the universal oneness. The connection of modern science and ancient Indian thought is understood in the light of Swami Vivekananda's explanation of the macrocosm (the universe) and microcosm (the individual "I").

Based on lectures on Sri Shankaracharya's Aparokshanubhuti given in New Delhi, India in 2007. Aparokshanubhuti means direct perception of our own true self unmediated through any other agency. Vedanta says that without enquiry there is no knowledge. The need for enquiry is to understand "Who am I?" and "Why am I here?". The answers, as given by Shankaracharya, are found through direct experience.
