This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian philosophy bases itself on three states of consciousness: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Deep sleep, or susupti, plays an important role in Advaita Vedanta, the major philosophical school that advocates a doctrine of pure consciousness. Explaining and savoring this paradox, this book shows how the concept of deep sleep can be used in Advaita Vedanta to reveal a philosophical insight, validate an argument, illustrate a moral, or adorn a tale. Arvind Sharma explores why sleep is a phenomenon that philosophers should be interested in and examines it in classical Hindu religious texts, including the Upanisads, and in foundational, early, and modern Advaita Vedanta.

Download or read book Advaita Vedanta written by David Prabhuji and published by . This book was released on 2020-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advaita Vedanta is one of the most refined philosophical pearls of Hinduism. It is reserved for seekers of Truth that want to know their own essence and aspire to liberation, or mok?a. He proposes to us the path of knowledge called Jñ?na-yoga, which much more than a theory or a doctrine, it is an existential view. Jñ?na is knowing oneself as Brahman and realizing one's reality as the transcendental Self, beyond time and space. Its main teaching is self-inquiry: "Who am I?" This question is an expression of the highest and noblest rebellion. Vedanta restores our dignity and accepts us as the only authority about who we are.Prabhuji presents the main principles for taking the first steps on this path. Rather than offering information, explanations, or answers, he inspires us to inquire, to doubt, and to investigate our own essence. He tells us that every effort to achieve enlightenment is superfluous because we already are what we aspire to be and we will realize it by turning our attention to consciousness and simply Being the Self...

Download or read book Consciousness in Indian Philosophy written by Sthaneshwar Timalsina and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-10-27 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the analysis of pure consciousness as found in Advaita Vedanta, one of the main schools of Indian philosophy. According to this tradition, reality is identified as Brahman, the world is considered illusory, and the individual self is identified with the absolute reality. Advaitins have various approaches to defend this argument, the central one being the doctrine of 'awareness only' (cinmatra). Following this stream of argument, what consciousness grasps immediately is consciousness itself, and the notions of subject and object arise due to ignorance. This doctrine categorically rejects the plurality of individual selves and the reality of objects of perception. Timalsina analyzes the nature of consciousness as understood in Advaita. He first explores the nature of reality and pure consciousness, and then moves on to analyze ignorance as propounded in Advaita. He then presents Advaita arguments against the definitions of 'object' of cognition found in various other schools of Indian philosophy. In this process, the positions of two rival philosophical schools of Advaita and Madhva Vedanta are explored in order to examine the exchange between these two schools. The final section of the book contrasts the Yogacara and Advaita understandings of consciousness. Written lucidly and clearly, this book reveals the depth and implications of Indian metaphysics and argument. It will be of interest to scholars of Indian philosophy and Religious Studies.

Download or read book The Essence of Enlightenment written by James Swartz and published by Shiningworld Press. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The core teachings of Vedanta are eternal. They were revealed several thousand years before the Christian era. As a means of enlightenment, Vedanta evolved slowly since then as great minds contributed dispassionately to the teaching tradition, which reached perfection in the eighth century. Just as nobody is trying to invent a new wheel, no one can improve Vedanta, because it does what it purports to do: set us free of our sense of limitation. This book demystifies the topic of enlightenment. Although it is inspirational, it is not just another vague inspirational read. It is written in a simple style that I believe will make the science of Self-inquiry accessible to seekers and finders everywhere.
