This critical commentary offering fresh insights into the essential teachings of the Aitareya Upanisad presents its original Sanskrit text along with Roman transliteration and a verse-to-verse translation in English.

Chandogya is the most intriguing of all the Upanisads. It begins with directing the priests of a Soma-yaga to see the hidden wisdom-significance in what they perform and recite as a brute ritual. The present commentary explicates in a lucid way how thinking progresses in this Upanisad, along with unravelling its schematic, structural and dialectical intricacies, both subjective and objective, both universal and particular.

This commentary volume contends that, from the Gospel accounts of the Bible, one may perceive, in Jesus's life and words, the same absolutist vision that underlies the teachings of Advaita Vedanta. Echoing interreligious harmony, it invites non-Christians to visit the great enlightened guru in Jesus, and Christians to imbibe the spirit of Advaita Vedanta in Jesus's teachings.

In his most important Sanskrit work Darshanamala, Narayana Guru adopts an uncharted method of viewing the non-dual Brahman, leaving the student-seeker to intuitively perceive on one's own the one ineffable Reality. The ancient Upanishadic wisdom is thus condensed and restated by the Guru in terms comprehensible to the mind-set of the Age of Science, and how brahmavidya naturally becomes the Science of all sciences is made explicit throughout this commentary.

The book contains the original texts in Sanskrit, Roman transliteration and detailed commentaries on the Isavasya and Mandukya Upanisads, explaining the basic message of the Upanisads  Brahmavidya, or the science of the Absolute  in different ways, the questions asked in each being different.

The atman, in the Eastern belief system, is eternal and immortal, and physical death is nothing but its disembodiment and reincarnation in a new body, with the law of karma determining the atman's choice of a new body. Swami Muni Narayana Prasad looks afresh at these age-old doctrinal beliefs from the viewpoint of an Advaitin, developing insights from his studies of the Upanisads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Brahma Sutras, and the works of Narayana Guru.

Swami Muni Narayana Prasad renders a superbly novel analysis of this Upanisad in the backdrop of recent developments in various scientific disciplines and attempts to show that mysticism is a corollary to scientific investigation.

This edition of the Bhagavad Gita elaborates how each of its chapters and even verses leads to the next one, all in line with the overall scheme of thought. Acknowledging the Gita as a yoga-sastra (science of dialectics), it explicates how this methodological device strings together all the seemingly contradictory statements, revealing an ineffably uniting experience befitting a scientifically and practically conceived non-dualism, or advaita.

In this critical interpretation of the Upanisad the author looks afresh at some puzzling questions like: What is the nature of Brahman, the one Casual Reality? How can a seeker know it? Who can be eligible for its knowledge?

Smrtis, in Indian spiritual lore, denote the class of canonical texts that teach traditional laws, civil or religious. Such laws need periodical revision or modification, or even total nullifying and replacement. Narayana Guru took up the challenge to write Narayana Smrti, an alternative new text fit for current times, when he felt that the two-thousand-year-old Manusmrti had become outdated.

This commentary unravels the riddle-like statements and contexts of the Prasna Upanisad in the light of the meta-logic of Yogic buddhi, to study deeply the Brahmavidya philosophy and thus the problem of the origin of beings.

This book contains extensive commentaries on Narayana Guru's five shorter philosophical poems: The Science of the Absolute in Five Verses, Lamp of Non-duality, Consciousness, Chants for Oblations in Fire, and Ten Verses Addressed to God: A Universal Prayer.

The book presents the essence of the philosophy of Narayana Guru, the noted philosopher-saint of modern India who reintroduced the essential Upanisadic content with a fresh appeal. Based on a thorough study of his works, it deals with his thought on ethics, aesthetics, religion, rituals and casteism.

The book speaks about the philosophy of Narayana Guru as guidance to study and compare the philosophies of the acaryas, particularly those of Shankara, Ramanuja and Madhva. It also explores the concepts of avidya and maya, atomicity of the self, consciousness and the self, tat tvam asi, karma and reincarnation and the ultimate liberation.
