| Summary, etc. | The Vivekachudamani is the most famous work by Adi Shankara(788 CE - 820 CE). In it, the great philosopher expounds the Advaita Vedanta philosophy. He describes developing Viveka—the human faculty of discrimination—as the central task in the spiritual life and calls it the "crown jewel" among the essentials for living. 'Viveka' means discrimination, 'Chuda' is crest, and 'Mani' means jewel. Hence the title means 'Crest-jewel of discrimination'. Vivekachudamani consists of 580 verses in Sanskrit. It has the form of dialogue between the master and the disciple, where the master explains to the disciple the nature of the 'self' and the ways to research and know it. The book takes the disciple on a step by step instructions to reach enlightement.<br/>In this edition the reader will find:<br/>- the 580 verses in Sanskrit and their English translation.<br/>- a biography of the philosopher Adi Sankaracharya and a detail of the historical context when the work was written.<br/>- a biography of the translator Swami Madhavananda (1888-1965) |
