This book, Studies in Vedantism, surveys central Vedantic concepts such as Brahman, Isvara, maya, and the three gunas. It contrasts Brahman with Isvara, discusses the roles of sattva and tamas, and examines how consciousness develops from individual experience to absolute awareness. Readers encounter Vedantic logic, pramanas, and the interplay between doctrine and ethical discipline on the path to understanding the self and the universe.
Structured for thoughtful reading, the work traces how conception and perception interlock in Vedanta, offering a rigorous, yet accessible look at the ideas that shape this tradition.
Ideal for readers of philosophy, theology, and Indian thought who want a clear, grounded look at Vedanta’s core questions.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the intricate philosophy of Vedantism, a school of Indian thought that has captivated minds for centuries. The author delves into the core principles of Vedantism, examining its relationship to contemporary philosophical systems and providing fresh interpretations of its classical texts. The book takes a unique approach, grounding its exploration in the psychology of human consciousness, exploring the realms of waking, dreaming, and dreamless sleep. By examining the nature of dreams, the author opens a window into the possibility of a higher dimension of consciousness, a realm where the self transcends the limitations of sensory experience. This exploration leads to the central concept of *samÃÂdhi*, a state of ecstatic awareness where the boundaries between self and object dissolve. The book argues that this ecstatic state, achieved through practices of contemplation and meditation, represents the ultimate goal of Vedantic philosophy: the realization of the true self, free from illusion and the limitations of the physical world. The author's insightful analysis of these core concepts, interwoven with a critical examination of Western philosophical thought, offers a compelling exploration of the human condition and the potential for spiritual awakening. This book provides a compelling and accessible introduction to the rich philosophical tradition of Vedantism, illuminating its profound insights into the nature of reality and the human experience.
