5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, traditionally based introduction, March 20, 2008

This review is from: Vedanta Treatise The Eternities (Paperback)

Swami Parthasarathy has written a number of books, including one on the Gita, one on Shankara's Atmabodha and commentaries on several of the Upanishads. The Vedanta Treatise was his attempt to summarize Vedanta from his readings of the classical texts and from his studies with his own guru, Swami Chinmayananda. He still travels the world giving lectures on the Gita and also runs a school in Bombay, which provides a three-year residential course on Vedanta. An excellent introductory book, it tends to be more practical than theoretical, emphasizing bhakti and karma yoga aspects more than those of j~nAna. This is in line with the quotation on all of his cassettes that "The Bhagavad Gita is a technique, a skill for dynamic living, not a retirement plan".

The philosopher (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vedanta Treatise The Eternities (Paperback)

This book is the first book I have read that contains the entire material needed for the internal development of a human being.

It explains the ancient philosophical system of Vedanta in a sequential, logical manner that any person, whether from the east or west, would find immensely beneficial and practical.

A modern spiritual masterpiece

5.0 out of 5 stars Facts of life, December 29, 2007

By 

Seeker of Truth (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vedanta Treatise The Eternities (Paperback)

The author has managed to capture the essence of philosophy in one easy to read book. I got a much better understanding of my nature, how to relate to others and the path to self development. Basic facts of life are presented in a methodical manner. Like desires, attachments, love, concentration, success, and subtler themes like law of karma, illusions and the concept of god. You don't need to have any previous understanding of philosophy to read this book. Especially recommended for the youth, thinkers & enquirers.
