Publisher's Synopsis
We live in the Kali Yuga, the Dark Age of Hindu mythology, when all the great secular and religious faiths of the world are on the wane. The only intellectual discipline that a thinker can draw upon is science. The Great Transformation uncovers our spiritual nature by first clearing away the cultural obstacles on our only path to truth and then laying out how in contemporary science the cosmos is composed of two elements, mind and matter, neither reducible to the other.
