About the Book

I have given numerous examples of the parallel between the Indic and Hellenic civilisations, but the most revealing similarity is that the raison d'être of philosophy, as understood by the Greeks, to attain Wisdom, is still valid in Hinduism and Buddhism. In other words, the Indian civilisation has remained faithful to this fundamental principle of the Hellenic civilisation and has managed to preserve it much better than in the West. In addition, from this Wisdom (Cit) Happiness (Ananda) is derived, essential principles common to said civilisations, which are those that determine the guideline of history, the essentials of thought and real human evolution. The Greeks called their gods the happy and the immortal, and their great aspiration was to be like the gods. To these ends, the Indian civilisation has known how to prioritise spirit over matter and in this way has kept the torch burning with whose light I am trying to illuminate the gloom that reigns in the West and that is spreading in the East. From what has been said, there follows the current (and eternal) paradigm of humanity: to be wiser, happier and to aspire to immortality.
