Self-Knowledge: Now Available!


CLICK TO PURCHASE

This book is another Abhedananda volume dedicated to an aspect of Vedanta philosophy under the broader banner of Hinduism. It's intriguing, and is partly in the form of dialogue involving Indra.

The entire purpose is a philosophical expose on the concept of self- not the rudimentary physical self which passes away, but rather a higher variant of the self, posited not to be some spirit subjugate to an external deity, nor a will-less component of some divine totality, but something akin to and yet different from both, to be known, but not entirely via reason.

Divine Heritage of Man: Now Available!



This little text is a Vedanta work, one of a number created during the period; it is from the Hindu path, and forms a very interesting counterpart to Western movements such as Theosophy, which always stated or insinuated the primacy of Christ and Christianity, while admitting Eastern enlightenment and inter-mixing some of Hindu and Buddhist lore into their system. This work, and others by the same author, do the opposite, and subjugate Christ to the Vedanta system by asserting an older origin (which is historically accurate) and similarities (which sometimes are accurate, sometimes less so.) The nature of divinity and of mans' relation to it are explored in depth.
