This monograph may be taken as a companion volume to the book ‘Universal Values’. Particular attention is focused on perennial values enshrined in our epics the Ramayana and Mahabharata as well as in the Western literary classics including the works of Dante, Goethe, Tolstoy, and Dostoevsky. The significance of Sri Ramakrishna’s spiritual humanism and its practical application to our life, thought, and activities is also underscored.
