Book Description
Traditionally, 'Who am I?' has been the central quest of Vedic texts. Knowing 'I' without any external attributes such as body, mind, age, etc. is termed as self-knowledge. Or, we can say that knowing 'what we are' and 'what we are not' constitutes the complete answer. For example, a transparent crystal placed near a hibiscus flower appears to be red. Until we see it without the flower, we'll not know that it is transparent and not red. Similarly, if our notion about ourselves is mixed with some external attributes, which are different from us, we'll perceive our reality differently. This wrong perception will give rise to various conflicts like death, pain, and anxiety. So, it looks imperative to know our fundamental reality to destroy the pain and taste the immortal bliss within. Once we accept that there is something we need to know, we talk about the ways in which the correct understanding can be reached. We find ways to test our understanding. And, we also want to know how this reality looks like. In this short, original, and profound work, Shankaracharya has answered these questions and shared his insight about non-dual reality.

Book Description
S hankaracharya's Atma Bodha was written in the eighth century to clarify the fundamental ideas revealed in the Upanishads. It is meant to be studied as a straightforward introduction, as it does not include elaborate arguments negating dualistic and quasi-dualistic views. The Fire of Self-Knowledge is an illustrated commentary on the great sage's poetic verses that presents the teaching methodology of Vedanta in an easily understandable manner for the seeker to assimilate the basic concepts.

Book Description
Atma-bodha is a short Sanskrit text attributed to Adi Shankara of Advaita Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy. The text describes the path to Self-knowledge or the awareness of Atman. Atmabodha means "Self-knowledge", self-awareness, or one with the "possession of a knowledge of soul or the supreme spirit". Tattva Bodha literally means 'Knowledge of the Truth', and it is a small but all encompassing introductory text of Vedanta.

Book Description
The text composed by Adi Shankaracharya presents a gallery of several word paintings. Each depicts a philosophical idea to help the seeker comprehend the subtle theme of the scriptures. The commentary elucidates its striking similes and metaphors taken from nature and life. Together they prepare a spiritual practioner to gain the awareness of the supreme Reality in all walks of life. And lead him to the realisation of the supreme Self.
