“Sri Sankara’s Teachings In His Own Words” is a significant literary work published by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan. This book is a collection of teachings and philosophical insights of Adi Shankaracharya, one of the most revered and influential philosophers and spiritual leaders in the history of India.
Adi Shankaracharya, often referred to as Sri Sankara, was a renowned Indian philosopher and theologian who lived in the early 8th century CE. He is credited with the consolidation and propagation of Advaita Vedanta, a non-dualistic philosophical system that emphasizes the ultimate oneness of the individual soul (Atman) and the universal reality (Brahman). His teachings have had a profound impact on the course of Indian philosophy, spirituality, and religion.
The book “Sri Sankara’s Teachings In His Own Words” is a compilation of his original teachings and writings, presenting his philosophy and spiritual wisdom directly from the source. It is likely to include excerpts from his works, such as commentaries on the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and other texts. These teachings touch upon essential topics like the nature of reality, the path to spiritual realization, the concept of Maya (illusion), and the importance of self-realization.
Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, a well-known educational and cultural institution in India, has played a significant role in preserving and promoting India’s rich philosophical and spiritual heritage. This publication is part of their efforts to make the teachings of Adi Shankaracharya accessible to a wider audience, allowing readers to engage with the profound wisdom and insights of this great sage.
For those interested in Indian philosophy, spirituality, and the profound teachings of Adi Shankaracharya, “Sri Sankara’s Teachings In His Own Words” serves as a valuable resource, providing an opportunity to explore the depths of Advaita Vedanta and gain a deeper understanding of the ancient philosophical traditions of India.
