A Wider View of VedantaBy Asia KhufThis clearly written book by an Advaitin Swami reminds us that Vedanta isn't just Advaita and that there are other great thinkers in Vedantin tradition besides Adi Shankara. None other than Swami Vivekananda recommends that in approaching Vedanta one start with the commonsensical dualism of Madhva; move on to the subtle insights of Ramanuja; and culminate in the pure non-dualism of Shankara. And in fact; the sections on those two non-Advaitin saints are of particular interest. Moreover; the account of Madhva is clearer here than in Sharma's book on him. The balance of biographical and philosophical material makes this an enjoyable introductory work.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy MuraliExcellent explanation. Clear and concise.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. defective ebookBy D.H.The work itself is high quality but the ebook is defective in so far as pages skip; or one can sometimes get to pages by going forward and then backing up; while some of the pages fly past but you can't get them to stay so that they can be read. The ebook needs fixed by whoever set it up so that this beautiful work in Vedanta is truly available for electronic reading. The book itself is so good that I would recommend it be purchased in the form made of paper.
