Vivekacudamani The Crest Jewel of Discernment

About The Book

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 Âruti 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 Indias 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.
