The book makes an attempt to study the concept of peace with an inter-disciplinary background so as to bring out its various aspects and multidimensional character. \nThe book contains a comprehensive treatment of the subject both at the individual level and the social. Again, "One may agree with the author that traditional religions normally considered to be primarily concerned about the peace of the individual have very many practical lessons or directions for fostering peace at social level, leading to world peace. She rightly points out that the social significance of these ancient teachings has hardly been highlighted adequately, although one can see a common line of thought in all these religions pointing to the inegral relationship between the peace of the individual and that of society."
