Vedanta: Contemporary Writings

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").
