Have you ever wondered why there is so much religious diversity in the world? How did this story of humanity begin and what ancient wisdom has been lost along the way? Can you believe in God and not be religious? Or simply put, why do human beings have a need to believe in something... anything? This book is a journey through the genesis of faith, the evolution of ancient spiritual practices, the dawn of major world religions and an exploration of the emerging frontiers of New Age spirituality. Along the way, we will find answers to some intriguing questions, such as why the Quran acknowledges Abraham, Moses, and Jesus as prophets. We will explore why most Buddhists do not believe in the existence of the soul and discover how Jesus' birthday on December 25th was originally a pagan festival. Why does Hinduism contain the elements of monism, monotheism, polytheism, and pantheism, all in one faith? What is the relationship between ancient Vedic texts and quantum physics? Which gene makes us 'religious' beings and how might our future spirituality be redefined by New Age lifestyles? ...and many more. Many Paths, Many Truths is a profound contemplative inquiry packaged as an easy read for anyone who desires to gain insight into life's existential questions through the lens of the wisdom of world religions and spiritual philosophies. A treat for both novices and experts alike, whether you are seeking your own inner truths or researching systems of faith beyond your own, this book is a great place to start your journey.

The origin of world civilization can be traced to the Indus Valley cradle, where brilliant and original thinkers made groundbreaking discoveries. The history of these discoveries is recorded in the vast Sanskrit literature. In this study, author M. K. Agarwal explores the cultural and historical significance of the region. He explores Indus Valley culture, which encouraged creative thought—as opposed to the Abrahamic faiths, which herded followers into dogmatic thinking. He holds that these religions prospered because of their unfettered hatred of the Vedic-Hindu-Buddhist peoples, who were demonized as pagans to be murdered, tortured, raped, enslaved, and robbed. He also considers the achievements of that culture, such as the creation of the most affluent, most scientifically advanced, and most spiritual of all societies, with archeological moorings that can be traced back to 8000 BC. No other region can even come close to transforming people and culture like the Indus Valley, but the world’s Vedic roots have been ignored, shunned, and covered up. Uncover the history that has been lost and develop a deeper appreciation for the true cradle of human civilization with The Vedic Core of Human History.
