Essays on Vedanta Monistic philosophy: Collection of articles on Vedanta philosophy

This book is a compilation of excerpts prepared by the author on YogaVāsiṣṭha and Aṣṭāvakra Saṁhitā, both of which are great sources of Indian Vedānta philosophy. Also included are the author’s own articles on different topics on Vedānta. All these were written during 2012-2019 and were distributed to a close circle of relatives and friends.

This book may be regarded as a companion book to the ‘Glimpses of Vedanta philosophy,’ published by the author, in which the prasthānatrayī (the set of trilogy of sources for philosophical journey) is explained in detail.
