This book elucidates the nature of the One-Consciousness that alone is seen pervading the entirety of existence and also talks about the state of Sanatana-Dharma. This is a niche book which will benefit only those who love Sanatana-Dharma in its pristine form from prehistoric days and who now find it to be on the verge of extinction--and would now like to see Sanatana-Dharma make a comeback. This book is not suitable for everyone and is meant only for mature readers--who are keen to understand diverse viewpoints critical of their own beliefs. You are not welcome to read this book, especially if you are of another religion and get easily offended.This Book is for entertainment purposes only and is purely a work of fiction; all religions, nations, races, people, books, histories, places, events, timelines etc., referred to in this book--even those that might be construed to have any resemblance to the existing ones of the present times--are entirely fictional and intended to be used in a fictitious manner, and do not refer to any existing ones of the present age at all.Reading this book may cause lasting changes in your thought process and ideology; it may force you to rethink your entire belief system and bring fundamental changes in your life. Not everyone is ready for such massive transformations and hence we recommend that you do not read it. There is nothing in this book which can be of interest to children; only for adults.

About the BookA COMPREHENSIVELY RESEARCHED BOOK ON THE LIFE AND PHILOSOPHY OF ADI SHANKARACHARYAWhat is Brahman? What is its relationship to Atman? What is an individual's place in the cosmos? Is a personalised god and ritualistic worship the only path to attain moksha? Does caste matter when a human is engaging with the metaphysical world? The answers to these perennial questions sparkle with clarity in this seminal account of a man and a saint, who revived Hinduism and gave to Upanishadic insights a rigorously structured and sublimely appealing philosophy.Jagad Guru Adi Shankaracharya (788-820 CE) was born in Kerala and died in Kedarnath, traversing the length of India in his search for the ultimate truth. In a short life of thirty-two years, Shankaracharya not only revived Hinduism, but also created the organisational structure for its perpetuation through the mathas he established in Sringeri, Dwaraka, Puri and Joshimatha.Adi Shankaracharaya: Hinduism's Greatest Thinker is a meticulously researched and comprehensive account of his life and philosophy. Highly readable, and including a select anthology of Shankaracharya's seminal writing, the book also examines the startling endorsement that contemporary science is giving to his ideas today. A must-read for people across the ideological spectrum, this book reminds readers about the remarkable philosophical underpinning of Hinduism, making it one of the most vibrant religions in the world.About the AuthorPavan K.
