About this ebook

This book is a translation of five works of Sri Shankaracharya, the guru who not only united Vedic philosophies but also the people of undivided India. With more than 250 works, which are all equally profound, his impact on Indian psyche still reigns supreme. A brief and easy to understand introduction of 'Advait Vedanta' is also provided in the beginning. The basic organisation of the book is as below:


0. Intoduction to Advait - Gives an outline of the basic principles of non-dualism.


1. Dakshinamurti Stotram - A prayer to all-pervading Lord Shiva who is the ultimate destination of any spiritual enquiry.


2. Manisha Panchakam - Lord Shiva tests Shankaracharya on his conviction about the absolute.


3. Dasha Shloki - Shankaracharya's famous answer of "Who Am I" to his guru during their first meeting.


4. Drig Drashya Viveka - Builds the logic to distinguish the ultimate seer from its objects of observation.


5. Brahmanuchintanam - Pondering over Absolute Reality which takes us to it.
