INSIGHTS INTO VEDANTA is an English translation of Tattwabodha with a running commentary,based on Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda’s teachings.Sri Sankaracharya is the putative author of this work.The original Tattvabodha in Sanskrit is apparently a simple text,and the purpose of the author is to acquaint the lay reader with Advaita.But the text is profound.It also anticipates discussion and deep thought. The present book has the text in Devanagari and transliteration in English and also word for word for meaning in English.Even those with a nodding acquaintance with Sanskrit can undrstand the text correctly. A good book for the one trying to understand Advaita Vedanta. Swami Sunirmalananda,the translator is a monk of the Ramakrishna order.His rich experience in the editorial line has helped him in bringing out a classic book.
This is a book on Samkhya philosophy, one of the important pillars of the six systems of Indian philosophy. While modern science is finding itself more and more in agreement Vedantic intuitive perceptions, it must be noted that Vedanta reaches its heights only from the solid foundation of Samkhya. Neither Vedanta nor modern science can be understood in all their nuances without a firm grasp of the Samkhyan tenets. The work includes the Tattva Kaumudi of Sri Vacaspati Misra
The Bhagavad Gita, an important Hindu scripture, is one of the outstanding religious classics in the world, and this translation by Swami Nikhilananda has been called “the first really readable, authoritative translation”. The Bhagavad Gita is unique among religious texts in its emphasis on the discharge of everyday duties, irrespective of their nature, as an effective discipline for the realization of God. The Gita teaches that if a man performs his duties, surrendering the fruit to God and discarding all selfish motives, he gains purity of heart and achieves ultimate liberation. It is knowledge of God that gives man the strength to face calmly and cheerfully the duties of life. The Gita shows the way to spiritualize life and illumine even its drab and gray phases with the radiance of the Spirit. It lays down practical spiritual disciplines which can be followed by all, irrespective of faith and creed. Special features of this 404 page edition are an introduction to the philosophy of The Gita and a summary of The Mahabharata. Also, each numbered verse of the text is followed by an explanation of the significant words and a paragraph of commentary based on the interpretation of Sankaracharya, the great philosopher and mystic of eighth century India.
