The Vedantatattvasara (1898) - Paperback

The Vedantatattvasara is a philosophical text written by Ramanujacharya in 1898. The book is a comprehensive guide to Vedanta, which is a school of Hindu philosophy. The text explores the nature of reality, the self, and the ultimate truth. It is divided into six chapters, each of which discusses different aspects of Vedanta. The first chapter introduces the concept of Brahman, the ultimate reality that underlies all existence. The second chapter delves into the nature of the self, explaining how it is distinct from the body and mind. The third chapter explores the relationship between Brahman and the self, and how the two are ultimately one. The fourth chapter discusses the role of karma, or action, in shaping one's destiny. The fifth chapter explores the concept of maya, or illusion, and how it can lead to suffering and confusion. The final chapter discusses the path to liberation, which involves realizing the true nature of the self and the ultimate reality of Brahman. Throughout the book, Ramanujacharya draws on a range of sources, including the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and the works of other Vedanta philosophers. The Vedantatattvasara is considered a foundational text in the study of Vedanta and is widely read and studied by scholars and spiritual seekers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
