Book Review:
''Among the Great'' is a rare and invaluable treasure. Dilip Kumar Roy, a seeker of truth, records his conversations and correspondence with five towering figures of the 20th century: Romain Rolland (the artist), Mahatma Gandhi (the saint), Bertrand Russell (the thinker), Rabindranath Tagore (the poet), and Sri Aurobindo (the seer). Except for Russell, all believe in a Divine principle and humanity's capacity to commune with it. The book explores the idea that humanity is still 'in the making' and requires a new discipline or dharma. Written with rare ease and charm, and introduced by Dr. S. Radhakrishnan (former President of India), this work is ennobled by a deep moral concern for the good of humanity. A must-read for lovers of philosophy, spirituality, and great minds
