Great companion book for Advaita Vedanta Enthusiasts, May 23, 2009
This review is from: Journey From Many to One / Essentials of Advaita Vedanta (Paperback)
The Swami leads the reader systematically through a whole gamut of philosophical concepts, in a clear and comprehensive way. This book is not a substitute for some of the original scriptures like Upanishads and the various Advaita commentaries (by Gaudapada, Shankara etc) on them, but this is definitely a great companion book to refer to, while studying various Advaita scriptures, because of the high quality subject matter description.
While reading Advaita literature of the old or modern, sometimes it is very easy to get lost in the myriad of concepts and viewpoints presented by various scholars. We could easily mistake one concept for another. It is to remove such discrepancies and strengthen our fundamental underatanding of the precepts and concepts of Advaita, I would recommend this book.
Would recommend it for all Advaita Enthusiasts.
