The essential message is that the visible universe is a vast appearance without lasting reality. It is also Brahman, pure consciousness ever-existing in all forms and in its own majesty. That truth, beyond speech and mind, cannot be understood by the misleading imagination of the mind or expressed in language. The truth can only be known by a tranquil mind.

Human attempts to express that experience in words only gives rise to many different doctrines and dogmas.

Nectar of Supreme Knowledge

This sacred gem is a perennial favorite of mine. I highly recommend it to students of Vedanta.

Review By Robin Altomonte

Amazing

This is one of the best books and commentaries on Vedanta ever written. Very clear, very concise and a real game changer for me. Thank you to everyone involved in creating this masterpiece!

Review By Kumudini

Profound

This is a profound book, for Vedantic teachings and repeated self contemplation. Every page drips with the highest knowledge. My pranayama to the revered Maharaj Swami Sarvedevananda for translating the original Bengali narration and notes by Swami Dhireshananda into English for the benefit of a wider audience. This book is also very compact and makes for an excellent travel companion.

Yoga Vashista

This book is a quiet excellent book to read. I took my time to read this. You can meditate on any of the verses, it is that profound.

An Appreciation

"The Yoga Vasistha has been the beloved text of so many of the sages... In this important book we now have access in English to an important contemporary commentary on the wisdom of the Yoga Vasistha.

"By showing the ever-changing nature of appearance through fables and spell-binging tales, the text brings us ever closer to an appreciation of the consciousness that observes and witnesses all things.
