Böcker av Adi Sankara

In 33 profound verses, cast as a dialogue between a guru and a disciple, Adi Sankaracarya simultaneously reveals the supreme knowledge of the Self and the highest devotional worship (puja). The disciple first asks, "What manner of worship is prescribed in the undivided Existence-Consciousness-Bliss, in the one undifferentiated nature, though remaining in the state that is one without a second?" He then asks similar questions about the details of such in the context of utmost Nonduality, and, starting with the ninth verse, the Guru replies in the light of the Knowledge of that utmost Nonduality. By reading and meditating upon these illuminative verses by Adi Sankara, one will experience this profound, supreme puja.

This edition is for sale outside USA.This English translation from the original Sanskrit by Adi Sankara is a very clear, aphoristic explanation of what the Self is and the Knowledge that reveals it. Each verse is presented in its original Sanskrit (Devanagari) form, a transliteration into English letters, word-for-word translation, and fluent, running translation. The word-for-word translation also gives alternative meanings for many phrases in the verses. Sankara's teachings in this volume are very reminiscent of the Maharshi's, and are a penetrating and glorious revelation of what is one's own True Self.
