Tattva - Bodhah of Sri Adi Sankaracarya

Více o knize

The human psyche is such that most of us, including atheists, at some point ask fundamental questions of life. It may begin with 'Why did this happen to me?' Then it goes on to 'Is there God? Who am I? What is the goal of human life? What happens when one dies? Why was the world created? By whom? How?' In Tattvabodha, Sri Adi Sankaracarya lovingly answers these and many more questions and introduces the aspiring student to the basic principles of Vedanta—the science of life. This text is presented in the form of a dialogue between the Guru and the disciple. The disciple asks with genuine eagerness, and the Guru answers with patience, depth, and precision. Swami Tejomayananda's commentary on the text is illuminating and addresses even unasked doubts of the beginner. His exposition, from what it takes to be a seeker to what it takes to make a saint of oneself, is masterly.
