The constant refrain of the book is that globalization, in addition to being an economic phenomenon, is concerned about the restructuring of society and the way we live. It delves into the core of globalization, its drawbacks and how the religions of the world and the Ramakrishna movement can help us learn to live with it and adapt it to our needs. The 33 articles in the book have been authored by monks of the Ramakrishna Order, renowned authors and authorities in various disciplines. They were first published in 1999 in the annual issue of the Vedanta Kesari, the monthly magazine of the Ramakrishna Order.
