Sri Shankaracharya’s Upadesa Sahasri in two parts, prose and poetry, succinctly sets forth the Vedantic point of view, both metaphysical and practical, the emphasis being on the latter aspect.

This book contains the Sanskrit texts followed by English renderings and explanatory footnotes, which are based on Ramatirtha’s glossary. References to the Upanishads, the Vedanta Sutras, and the Bhagavad Gita have been carefully traced. An index to the verses, appended at the end, has heightened the usefulness of the book.

The Essence of the Spiritual Instruction
Author: Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi
Publisher: Society of Abidance in Truth
ISBN: 0981940935
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
The Upadesa Sarah (Upadesa Saram) by Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. Translated with Commentary by Nome. Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, abiding in the eternal Silence of the Self, composed The Essence of Spiritual Instruction for the supreme good of all in response to the supplications of the devoted Muruganar. The poet-devotee was writing in Tamil the story of the wayward rishis who dwelled in the Daruka forest and practiced rites for the attainment of powers that they desired. Their egos humbled by Siva and perceiving the error of their approach, they humbly sought spiritual instruction from Siva. Siva graciously bestowed the instruction, and it is these teachings that Muruganar requested Sri Bhagavan, Siva himself, to reveal in verse form. So, the Maharshi composed thirty verses in Tamil. Later, Sri Bhagavan translated them into Sanskrit. The Tamil version is entitled Upadesa Undiyar, and the Sanskrit version is entitled Upadesa Sarah and is also referred to as Upadesa Saram. This work is the English translation of the Sanskrit Upadesa Sarah. With each verse there is a ten-point commentary emphasizing the profound significance of the verse for those practicing Self-inquiry in the quest of nondual Self-Knowledge. An appendix that contains just the Sanskrit text with transliteration is included for ease of recitation and similar purposes.

The Uddhava Gita

Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1569757720
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Widely read, The Bhagavad Gita is a classic of world spirituality while The essential companion to The Bhagavad Gita, The Uddhava Gita has remained overlooked. This new accessible and only English translation in print of The Uddhava Gita offers a previously unexplored path to understanding Hinduism and Krishna’s wisdom. Written centuries apart, the ideas of the two dialogues are similar although their approach and contexts differ. The Bhagavad Gita is filled with the urgency of battle while The Uddhava Gita takes place on the eve of Krishna’s departure from the world. The Uddhava Gita offers the reader philosophy, sublime poetry, practical guidance, and, ultimately, hope for a more complete consciousness in which the life of the body better reflects the life of the spirit.
