Wisdom of Vedanta, The
Vedanta is the philosophy of Self-realization, which had its origin in the Upanishads of ancient India, and which lives today as the timeless yet ever-new wisdom known as "the perennial philosophy." Swami Abhayananda, who has been graced with the direct knowledge of the eternal Self, tells the story of Vedanta - its origins, its universal application, and its practice - in an array of individual Talks which examine the philosophy and art of Self-realization from many varied and intimate perspectives, derived from over thirty years of insightful study and experience. This collection of his illuminating Talks and Meditations constitutes one of the best introductions to the philosophy of Vedanta available.
REVIEWS & ENDORSEMENTS
- A good book for contemplative reading. ~ , Network Review
- The Wisdom of Vedanta’ is a wide-ranging introduction to the non-dual philosophy of Advaita and should be of particular interest to those who have been brought up in a background of Christianity but who have never been altogether comfortable with the interpretation given by the established church. A book that can be heartily recommended to those unfamiliar with the subject. ~ Dennis Waite, Author of Back to the Truth and How to Meet Yourself (both O Books). See www.advaita.org.uk
