Werner Weick and Andrea Andriotto undertake the colossal task of telling the story of the Apocalypse from the perspectives of the East and the West; they inquire about the past and the future, between memory and prophecy, about the struggle between light and darkness, and the great questions of contemporary mankind. According to the Eastern traditions, we are in the Kali Yuga, the Dark Age ; we meet author Alain Daniélou, a Sanskrit expert; we learn about cremation, called "Swargardhar"; the dark goddess of Calcutta, Kali; and in Tibet, about Buddhism, the mythical Shambala, the Dalai Lama, Padmasambhava, and of Lama Khamtul Rinpoche.
