Vivekacudamani of Sri Sankaracarya : Text, With English Translation, Notes and Index

Vedanta Press (Advaita Ashrama)

A verse-by-verse translation with Sanskrit in Devanagri, transliteration, and commentary. Based on classes given by the author while visiting the Vedanta Centre in Japan. The author, Swami Bhuteshananda, was the 12th President of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission. He was greatly was loved and respected for his saintly personality, his profound scholarship, and his lucid exposition of the scriptures. He visited the Vedanta Centre of Japan ten times, staying there for about 75 Japanese students of Vedanta. Many of them who attended his classes all the years, later taped, transcribed, and sent the scripts to Belur Math. The swami initially rejected the idea of bringing the title out in a book form, for he felt that the lectures were superficial. Impressed by reading the lectures in Vedanta, many, however, persisted in their request to publish them as a book.

Translated by Swami Bhuteshananda

For Swami Vivekananda, true education consists first of learning how to control the mind and will. It is a character-making assimilation of ideas. Thus the student learns how to be whole and think deeply. From there, it is easy to accumulate facts and know how to use them. Material gathered from the Complete Works of Sw. Vivekananda.

Religion & Spirituality

It is said in the practice of Vedanta that we have a right to work, but don't have a right to the results of our actions. We have to work as hard as we can, give the work our best quality effort, then step back and let the results take care of themselves. Or in the practice of yoga, offer the results to God.Work purifies the soul. This concept is a bit different than many of us have been taught in the West, but the book offers an interesting approach that can save us from a lot of misery and bring us closer to God. In fact, you don't even need to believe in God to practice this yoga.
