What Readers Are Saying
M K SUDARSHAN has taken a challenge which even angels would fear to tread. This dichotomy between these two aspects of Hindu philosophy has rattled most brilliant minds. Students of Vedanta have found it very difficult to differentiate clearly between Saguna and Nirguna Brahmans.
Advaita - Vishishtadvaita
Review on Book 3
In recent times, not many have written on metaphysics involving Sanatana Dharma.
The author, in elegant English delves deep into Advaita and Visishtadvaita streams of Indian Hindu Philosophy and has ventured to present the gist in a nut shell. T h e presentation is in a dialogue form .
