Advaita  (English, Paperback, Shashikant Padalkar)

"Advaita: A Contemporary Study" is a companion volume to Author's earlier volume on Vedanta. It can be read as an independent text. As the name suggests, the book is a contemporary study of Advaita's theology based on a 15th century traditional text. The book starts with answering Anubandha questions and then develops the theology within the framework of Superimposition-Negation. It follows the method of aggregation, and shows as to how one "unmanifested" principle multiplies into various subtle and gross elements and the three worlds of causal, subtle, and gross bodies. Then by dissolution of these three worlds, it traces back to the unmanifested principle to teach the Aupanishad monism at the phenomenal level. Last three chapters undertake the decoding of two great sentences, explain the method of textual analysis, and then follows the classical Yogic path towards Self realization and liberation.
