Not only did the Roerichs and their sons constantly think about Russia, its high destination and the moral strength of Russian nation, but they also believed that their Homeland will stand all the predestined ordeals. All their activities were dedicated to Russia. ‘Each of us four has gained enough knowledge and experience in his or her own field,’ wrote Nicholas Roerich in his essay “Quarter of a Century”. ‘But who did we work for? Was it for some strangers? No, it was for our dear Russian nation that we went through the thick and thin. We often managed to bring the true understanding of the Russian strivings and achievements. Not for a second did we deviate from the Russian ways. It was for the Russian people that we worked, bringing them both knowledge and achievements.’

This collective monograph develops a new scientific and philosophic trend basing on the principles of cosmic thinking. The authors strive to fulfill the idea of fusing science, art and spiritual practices.

Especially notable are the authors’ dwellings on the tendencies of future human development. Some works, dealing with the paths of Russian, Indian, Chinese and Japanese peoples, take up the topics of cultural versatility and reveal the value of each unique experience and achievement. The worldview of such thinkers as Vladimir Solovyev and Ivan Bunin corresponds with the ideas of the Buddhist East. Since the deed of asceticism knows no temporal or state borders, the book also features original works on the life of a Japanese monk Ryokan, a Ukranian thinker Grigoriy Skovoroda, and a Russian metropolitan Arseniy. A Krymchak representative tells about the fate and spiritual culture of this ancient nationality. The spiritual creativity as the true destiny of the mankind stands as the central topic in the works by the philosophers and culture experts.

Lyudmila Shaposhnikova. The Great Journey. Book three: The Master’s Universe. Moscow, International Centre of the Roerichs, 2005, 1088 pp., ill. The book by L. Shaposhnikova, ‘The Master’s Universe’, closes her trilogy ‘The Great Journey’ about the genius artist and thinker Nicholas Roerich and his family. The reader will learn about the historical roots of the new system of cognition and about the forming of cosmic thinking. It was Russia that gave the ground for the new cosmic conscience or, how it’s often called, ‘the cosmism’. The great Russian scientists such as V. Vernadsky, K. Tsiolkovsky, A. Chizhevsky, P. Florensky and the eminent philosophers of the so-called ‘Silver Age’ such as S. Bulgakov, S. and E. Trubetskoy and others were the architects of the new pattern of thinking. Nicholas and Helena Roerich played the most significant part in this evolutionary process, having created the philosophy of Cosmic Reality called ‘The Living Ethics’ together with a group of Eastern Masters. This philosophy laid the foundation for the cosmic thinking and its new system of cognition. ‘The Master’s Universe’ tells about the main peculiarities of this philosophy and defines its role in the cosmic evolution of the mankind. The Living Ethics is the most important achievement of the Roerichs.
