India's Spiritual Destiny: Its Inevitability and Potentiality

by Mangesh Nadkarni

In this collection of six essays originally written as lectures for seminars and conferences, Mangesh Nadkarni examines some of the crucial problems facing India today from the spiritual perspective offered by Sri Aurobindo, who pointed out that what man is facing now is not just a social, political, economic, ecological or nuclear crisis but an evolutionary one.

Man is a transitional being, and he must evolve from his current mental consciousness, which has proven incapable of solving these problems, to a higher truth-consciousness.

Dr Nadkarni shows how Sri Aurobindo's vision embraces all aspects of human life, all forms of human activity, and the deepest aspirations of the human soul, finally offering man the only comprehensive solution to his problems: a radical transformation of consciousness.
