Ramana Shankara and the Forty Verses: The Essential Teachings of Advaita

Ramana Maharshi and Shankara are two of the greatest and most important sages in the tradition of Advaita?the Vedic state of non-dualism, or the oneness of the self and Brahma. Shankara, born in the 8th century, consolidated the teaching of the Upanishadic and Brahmana Sutras into a practical philosophy of living, while Ramana Maharshi revived these principles and beliefs in the 20th century, bringing about a worldwide renaissance of Advaita. This invaluable volume contains the pearls of their combined wisdom, including some of Shankara’s major works translated by Ramana. Among them: Shankara's famous ?The Crest Jewel of Discrimination” and Maharshi's seminal ?Forty Verses on Reality.”
