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.

Practice of knowledge is unlike yoga, karma or upasana. Knowledge is practiced when our vision has undergone a change from the relative standpoint to absolute vision and this can happen only by the ability to see beyond the obvious in the day-to-day interactions of life. This approach of seeing the Divinity in and through all the experiences of daily life is abundantly presented by Bhagawan Shankaracharya ji in his Atma Bodha which is the subject matter of this publication.

Vallabhacharya, the founder of the Pushti Maarg was a poet, scholar and passionate lover of Lord Krishna. Madhurashtakam is one of the immemorial compositions of Vallabhacharya, the founder of Pusti marg. These set of eight verses talk of Shri Krishna's bewitching personality.

Pujya Guruji's commentary on it gives us a sense of immediacy with highlights of episodes from the lives of recent saints. It also makes us introspect on our hypocrisies which prevent us from flowing with sweetness. It opens our eyes to the healing energies of the Divine, clothed in a name and form.

Everyone is searching for everlasting happiness. Yet, none can find it by pursuit; at the same time, none can stop the pursuit. This seems to be the tragedy of human life—nay, the life of every being. Every pursuit is limited space-wise, time-wise and object-wise. Any pursuit that is limited cannot give everlasting happiness. Some promise eternal happiness after death if one follows their path. Yet, no one has returned to claim that they achieved it by following that path. One sage declares that ‘truth is a pathless land’. Vedanta ascertains that the truth is beyond the space-time-object-wise limitations, and you are that truth–tat tvam asi. The journey beyond space and time limitations is the central theme of the discussions in this text.

For some four hundred years, Hindus and Christians have been engaged in a public controversy about conversion and missionary proselytization, especially in India and the Hindu diaspora. Hindu Mission, Christian Mission reframes this controversy by shifting attention from "conversion" to a wider, interreligious study of "mission" as a category of thought and practice. Comparative theologian Reid B. Locklin traces the emergence of the nondualist Hindu teaching of Advaita Vedānta as a missionary tradition, from the eighth century to the present day, and draws this tradition into dialogue with contemporary proposals in Christian missiology. As a descriptive study of the Chinmaya Mission, the Ramakrishna Mission, and other leading Advaita mission movements, Hindu Mission, Christian Mission contributes to a growing body of scholarship on transnational Hinduism. As a speculative work of Christian comparative theology, it develops key themes from this engagement for a new, interreligious theology of mission and conversion for the twenty-first century and beyond.

All scriptures declare that the Lord is omnipresent. Scripture says ‘tvam eva mataa..’, you are the mother, you are the father.. ultimately, you are everything. Seeing the Lord involves recognizing the Lord in the form of the mother, father, teacher, and then in every form. This book evolves with that vision, with salutations to mother, father, teacher, and with the vision of the Lord in and through the whole creation. This understanding culminates with the Self and the Supreme becoming one through the Advaitic Teaching. The evolution of the Self to become one with the Supreme forms the essence of this book.
