✍️ About the Author

Sri Venugopal is offering another book as a compendium to his well-received book, Swami Dayananda Saraswati: His Uniqueness in the Vedanta Sampradaya. He discussed in that book in detail the status of Vedanta, and the methods employed in unfolding the non-dual truth. In this new book, he is presenting in detail what is Vedanta. An avid student of Vedanta for years, he is able to present the subject matter in all its details and subtlety. Vedanta, being not a system, consists of different prakrzv&s, methods to unfold what defies words, through words. It is a method employed to shift one’s own scale of vision - from the error of separateness to the reality of oneness. To capture this in a book, without committing the blunder of making it a system, is no easy task. The author is able to bring to his writing the clarity gained in writing the previous book, while handling the various priorities. His unfolding of the vision through these praknvãs, is thorough and deft. Positioning himself as a companion on a journey of discovery, Sri Venugopal makes the vision, and all the related topics, immediate to the careful reader. His successful use of scholarship as a tool while avoiding the trap of scholasticism brings depth to his work. He not only unfolds, but analyzes the subject matter with precision, and provides abundant, pertinent references to grate and smriti. Thus, this book not only makes the subject matter accessible to the new student, but is a valuable work for those who have had some exposure to the teaching.
