Download or read book VAKYA VRITTI written by swami Chinmayananda and published by Central Chinmaya Mission Trust. This book was released on with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The journey of a spiritual aspirant through contemplation is a direct and difficult path. The ṛṣis of yore have elaborated and elucidated this teaching , particularly in the Chāndogya Upaniṣad, of the Upadeśa Mahāvākya Tattvamasi -That Thou Art. Bhagavan Ādi Śaṅkarācārya, in his utter compassion, benevolence and unique versatility, brings forth a highest teaching enshrined in this thought provoking statement with iths word meaning (vācyārtha) and its import (lakṣyārtha) and the consequent dawning of Ahaṁ Brahmasmi in the sādhaka' s mind. Swami Chinmayananda in this commentary makes a very lucid and deep analysis of the intricate and subtle thought development of the sentence ΄That Thou Art΄. He brings out clarity into how to understand each word of the statement and arrive at the clear meaning of the Mahāvākya for us all in this beautiful dialogue between teacher and student. A great aid and blessiong to all serious sādhakas on this very subjective analysis of Self -enquiry.

Download or read book Vivekacudamani the Crest Jewel of Discernment written by Sankara and published by Aurea Vidya. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Advaita Vedanta? What means or instruments does it utilize in its attempt to comprehend Reality? What is the nature of its aim? If we begin by answering these questions, we will be ready to follow with the right intelligence the message given by the great SANKARA in Vivekacudamani. The path which is outlined here is not for the majority, quite the contrary. It is for those who, having attained "maturity," tend towards full Awakening. It is for those who want to bring about a profound revolution within themselves; and this requires an act of courage, of steadfastness and, at the same time, of great humility. Advaita Vedanta is for those who, tired of a long pilgrimage, have finally stopped and in the silence of their own hearts have decided to launch a powerful attack on that terrible and treacherous enemy who lives not outside of us but right within us, and thus realize full liberation from all psycho-physical conflict and bondage. As darkness and its effects vanish when the sun rises, so, when realization of non-dual beatitude dawns, do bondage and suffering vanish without a trace (Vivekacudamani, sutra 319) SANKARA has been one of the greatest philosophers of India. He dedicated his brief and intense life (788-820) to re-establish the authority of the ruti, to codify the Advaita Vedanta, the doctrine of Non-duality, and to anchor the Metaphysical Tradition of the Veda through the foundation of monasteries (ma]ha) and monastic orders. With his bhasya (commentary) to the Upanisad, the Brahmasutra, and the Bhagavadgita, and with his own writings, Sankara has profoundly influenced not only India's philosophical development, but that of the entire world. RAPHAEL is author and Master in the Western Metaphysical Tradition as well as the Vedanta. For over 35 years, he has written a series of books on the pathway of Non-duality (Advaita). He has translated directly from the original Sanskrit and Edited a number of key Vedanta texts. His entire work is a conscious reunification of both Western and Eastern Traditions into Unity of Tradition.

Download or read book Transgressing Boundaries written by Shenkottai Avudai Akkal and published by Zubaan. This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shenkottai Sri Avudai Akkal, a remarkable eighteenth-century woman saint from Tamil Nadu, was a self-realised advaitin who sang passionately about the ecstasy of spiritual union with the Absolute. A desolate and stigmatised Brahmin child-widow, she was initiated into Vedanta by the great master Tiruvisainallur Shridhara Venkatesa Ayyawal. Her songs, a radical elision of the metaphysical sublime and personal devotion, are narrated through existential tropes sourced from daily life, and also offer a powerful critique of the oppressive orthodox socio-religious practices of that period. Composed in simple, colloquial Tamil, and bringing hope and solace to women in general and widows in particular for almost three centuries, these songs by Avudai Akkal were preserved within the oral tradition by Brahmin women of Tirunellveli district who sang them on all occasions. The songs were documented in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and have appeared in many Tamil publications. They appear in English translation for the first time in this book. Each song is accompanied by annotations and themed essays. Published by Zubaan.
