A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION
What this book explores
Rambachan explains Advaita Vedanta through its teachings about brahman, the world, human identity, liberation, and ethical life.
EDITORIAL NOTE
Why it’s in the Library
It corrects the impression that Advaita is only a private experience of oneness. It presents a living Hindu theological worldview in which knowledge, scripture, community, ethics, and liberation belong together.
