The commentary of Shankara on the Gita is regarded as an outstanding specimen of Indian scholarship. Text and translation are given. The inclusion of ‘word index’ has added to the worth of the book.
INSIGHTS INTO VEDANTA is an English translation of Tattwabodha with a running commentary,based on Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda’s teachings.Sri Sankaracharya is the putative author of this work.The original Tattvabodha in Sanskrit is apparently a simple text,and the purpose of the author is to acquaint the lay reader with Advaita.But the text is profound.It also anticipates discussion and deep thought. The present book has the text in Devanagari and transliteration in English and also word for word for meaning in English.Even those with a nodding acquaintance with Sanskrit can undrstand the text correctly. A good book for the one trying to understand Advaita Vedanta. Swami Sunirmalananda,the translator is a monk of the Ramakrishna order.His rich experience in the editorial line has helped him in bringing out a classic book.
The Aitareya Upanishad is contained in the Rg-Veda, and forms a part of the Aitareya Aranyaka. It discusses three philosophical themes: first, that the world and man is the creation of the Atman (Soul, Universal Self); second, the theory that the Atman undergoes threefold birth; third, that Consciousness is the essence of Atman.The Upanishad itself holds, as Shankara argues, the distinct goal of the realization of the identity of the individual soul with Nirguna Brahman, which is pure consciousness. The book includes the Devanagri script followed by an English translation and commentary by the translators. A lengthy introduction provides important background material.
A handy vest-pocket sized edition of the classic Indian scripture.Our translation of the Bhagavad Gita uses the beauty of verse to express the highest truths of Vedanta. Includes an introduction to the Gita, and a study of the cosmology of the Gita.How Swami Prabhavananda’s translation came about in the Swami’s own words:Once I was away for a rest in Palm Springs I had a Gita translation with me. When I read the twelfth chapter, I felt that the meaning had not been brought out; I saw deeper meaning in it. So I started to translate, and then Chris helped me…I translated and Chris edited. When Peggy Kiskadden came, she read what we had done and could not understand it. Then we went to Aldous. Chris read aloud, and Aldous listened. Aldous said, No, that is not right yet. Forget that Krishna is speaking to the Hindus in Sanskrit. Forget that this is a translation. Think that Krishna is speaking to an American audience in English… Then Aldous told Chris which style to use for verse. Chris rewrote the whole eleventh chapter of the Gita following Tennyson, I think. He produced the book in a week He was inspired.This pocket edition of the Gita measures 4.5” by 3.5”. It lacks the footnotes of the larger editions and also the four page essay entitled The Gita and War. Otherwise, it is complete.
