About the Book A COMPREHENSIVELY RESEARCHED BOOK ON THE LIFE AND PHILOSOPHY OF ADI SHANKARACHARYA What is Brahman? What is its relationship to Atman? What is an individual's place in the cosmos? Is a personalised god and ritualistic worship the only path to attain moksha? Does caste matter when a human is engaging with the metaphysical world? The answers to these perennial questions sparkle with clarity in this seminal account of a man and a saint, who revived Hinduism and gave to Upanishadic insights a rigorously structured and sublimely appealing philosophy. Jagad Guru Adi Shankaracharya (788-820 CE) was born in Kerala and died in Kedarnath, traversing the length of India in his search for the ultimate truth. In a short life of thirty-two years, Shankaracharya not only revived Hinduism, but also created the organisational structure for its perpetuation through the mathas he established in Sringeri, Dwaraka, Puri and Joshimatha. Adi Shankaracharaya: Hinduism's Greatest Thinker is a meticulously researched and comprehensive account of his life and philosophy. Highly readable, and including a select anthology of Shankaracharya's seminal writing, the book also examines the startling endorsement that contemporary science is giving to his ideas today. A must-read for people across the ideological spectrum, this book reminds readers about the remarkable philosophical underpinning of Hinduism, making it one of the most vibrant religions in the world. About the Author Pavan K. Varma is a writer-diplomat and was till recently an MP in the Rajya Sabha. He was earlier Advisor to the Chief Minister of Bihar, with the rank of Cabinet Minister. He has been India's Ambassador in several countries, also Director of the Nehru Centre in London, Official Spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs, and Press Secretary to the President of India.

A SUCCINCT ACCOUNT OF THE PROGRESS OF THE HINDU CIVILISATION AND ITS CURRENT CRISIS What do we mean by the Hindu civilisation? What are the texts and legacies that moved it forward from one century to another? How much of it has to do with inherited religious beliefs and how has the politicisation of these beliefs changed the prism through which Hindus view themselves and others, especially those identifying with different belief systems? These are the questions the author sets out to answer with this potted history of the Hindu world, in the context of changing empires and leaderships, through colonisation and conquest, leading up to the present challenges presented by the proponents of Hindutva. Direct, hard-hitting and wise, this is an invaluable treatise for our times. About the Author Pavan K. Varma is a writer-diplomat and was till recently an MP in the Rajya Sabha.

In the 21st century every sixth human being will be Indian. India is very close to becoming the second largest consumer market in the world, with a buying middle class numbering over half a billion.It is in the top ten in overall GNP. Yet at least 200 million Indians remain desperately poor. Illiteracy rates are high. Communal violence is widespread; corruption endemic. Brides are still tortured and burnt for dowries; the caste system has lost little of its power and none of its brutality. How are we to make sense of these two, apparently contradictory, pictures of India today? And how can we overcome the many misconceptions about India that are fed by the stereotypes created by foreigners and the myths about themselves projected by Indians? In Being Indian, Pavan Varma, whom the Guardian has called 'one of the country's most perceptive writers', demolishes the myths and generalisations as he turns his sharply observant gaze on his fellow countrymen to examine what really makes Indians tick and what they have to offer the world in the 21st century.

Adi Shankaracharya composed a number of Vedantic works for imparting the knowledge of the Self. One of these hymns is the famous “Bhaja Govindam”. ‘Bhaja’ literally means ‘seek’, ‘Govindam’ means ‘the Lord’ – ‘the Truth’. The learned masters, out of deep compassion try to wake up humanity. They invite us to open our eyes to a higher dimension of living. The whole text of Bhaja Govindam in essence means ‘Wake up, seek the Lord, and stop seeking the primitive and superficial things in life.’ The compilation of thoughts presented in this book is applicable to one and all. Swami Sukhabodhananda in his unique style explains the verses with deep clarity and understanding.

Welcome to the extraordinary journey through the life and legacy of one of India's greatest philosophers, theologians, and reformers - Adi Shankaracharya. In this book, we will explore the remarkable story of a man who, more than a millennium ago, left an indelible mark on Indian philosophy, spirituality, and culture. Adi Shankaracharya, often referred to simply as Shankara, was a luminary of the 8th century CE. His teachings and profound insights into the nature of reality continue to influence countless minds, transcending the boundaries of time and geography. But who was Adi Shankaracharya, and why does his legacy endure? To answer these questions, we'll embark on a journey that takes us from his humble beginnings in the village of Kaladi to the far reaches of India and even to the sacred heights of Kailash. We'll delve into the key events of his life, from his early education in the Vedic scriptures to his decision to renounce worldly life and become a monk. We'll follow him on his travels across the length and breadth of India as he spread his teachings, engaged in philosophical debates, and founded monastic institutions. We'll explore the heart of his philosophy, Advaita Vedanta, which proclaims the fundamental unity of all existence. We'll witness his encounters with scholars, his interactions with people from all walks of life, and the establishment of worship practices at prominent temples. Throughout this journey, we'll see how Adi Shankaracharya's life and teachings continue to resonate with seekers of truth and spiritual wisdom. His legacy lives on not only in the philosophical texts he penned but also in the hearts of those who seek to understand the profound truths he expounded. As we unravel the life, philosophy, and enduring impact of Adi Shankaracharya, a saint, philosopher, and reformer whose wisdom transcends the ages, and whose teachings continue to illuminate the path to spiritual realization.
