Roots of Vedanta

This erudite and wide-ranging anthology offers a panoramic view of Ved nta in a kara s own words, with selections from standard translations of his commentaries on the Upani ads, the Brahma-s tra (Ved nta-s tra) and the Bhagavad-g t texts which together form the scriptural canon of Ved nta and an independent treatise, the Upade a S hasri, on whose authenticity there is unanimity. Exhibiting a deep empathy with the living tradition, Sudhakshina has selected passages that explain all the important concepts and teachings, including up-to-date deliberations on a kara. Her general and sectional introductions illuminate and demystify the esoteric concepts, providing a holistic perspective of Ved nta and making it eminently accessible to the modern reader.
