Title: Belief transformations
Description: "No contemporary religion has managed to ignore the challenge of modern science. Belief Transformations is a case-study of two different new religions in the West, both derived from Hinduism. Transcendental Meditation (TM) and the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). While TM has attempted to demonstrate the benefits of meditation on 'scientific' grounds, secularizing a religious activity to the point where it becomes acceptable to modern rationality, ISKCON has gone the other way, rejecting the scientific world-view altogether."--BOOK JACKET.
