After the rise of Jesus, the Christ, the next most important event of the Christian world is known as Second Coming. The signs Jesus mentioned relating to this event are now all present. The Second Coming and the End draws on both the Old and New Testaments and tries to unravel the mystery behind what Jesus said. Its goal is to place before the world the invaluable knowledge that was once brought to light by the ancient rishis of India and that is of a universal nature. It presents these insights to suit the current level of awareness, when scientific knowledge and reasoning are widely in vogue and commonplace. This study builds on authentic texts, making no changes to ancient knowledge but taking modern science into account. Working with the grace of God, author Vigyan Mitra seeks to serve science, yoga, and philosophy on the same plate. This spiritual and philosophical study explores what Jesus meant by “the Son of Man is with you, He is in you,” revealing an answer that will change the world forever.
‘Altered Destinations’ addresses the complex interrelations of state, nation and identity in India through the medium of culture, and compellingly reframes the debate in the context of the Gandhian concept of swaraj. Engaging with Gandhi’s classic text ‘Hind Swaraj’, which envisioned an entirely new form of identity and governance in India in opposition with its colonial past, Paranjape extends the discussion by exlporing how ideas of autonomy, selfhood, and cultural independence have been expressed, depicted and studied.
