 This book entitled Concept of Complete Religion has been written in a unique way, never seen before! From science to culture; from language to philosophy; and from religion to ultimate human resources development, which is spirituality - for embracing all, all of them and then tracing their common origin, here is a very special book for you!
The book unlocks India's complete contribution to the world in terms of three most important frontiers of humanity - religion, science and culture and the book has systematically and historically traced this contribution.
Being authored by Prof. Joy Sen of the Department of Architecture and Regional Planning, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, it provides us a vital key, which has been termed 'Concept of Complete Religion' for all humanity!
The book first brings to light the ancient sources and it does that logically. From the earliest Vedic foundations to the lineage of many prophets, the book forwards a key realization: 'The microcosm (small scale structures) and the macrocosm (large scale structures) are built on the same plan' - this is the common foundation of the Vedas and all later sciences, philosophies and institutions that are born out of it. Given this strength the book forwards the following:
 Historically, it clears the doubts and bridges the missing links of Indian historic chronology in relationship to that of the world and clarifies the actual foundations of original Aryan strength not having a racial connotation but one of universal knowledge!
Culturally, it establishes the foundation of Indo-European tree! - A vital link to India's contribution to global language systems and semantics. All throughout the book has provided evidences and finally collated an exclusive glossary of over 500 original Sanskrit words that have become our commonly known English and other European words!
Scientifically, it provides ample evidences to establish the flow of Knowledge - that of the earliest social, material, and the cosmic sciences from India to Persia; from there to Anatolia and finally to Mediterranean Greece - that shaped the earliest Milesian and Ionian philosophers of Greece forming the very 'cradle of European civilization'.
Religiously and architecturally, it supplies sets of evidences that unfold a journey splitting the original universal Vedic ideals - mainly into three later schools of religion:
- Later iconographic priestly laded trends of Hinduism and later Buddhism
- A ritualistic Magi laded religion in Persia and
- A primacy of a patriarchal tradition of Judaism and its aftermath leading to two major offshoots - Christianity and Islam
 Now times are changing! So, the book assimilates the various inputs to recognize a meeting ground of science, religion and culture. In the requirement of true modernity it forwards a 'complete' wisdom to the current state of world with its complex social and physical environments, so that they can be harmoniously correlated to foster a 'Complete religion' of humankind!
