Advaita Makaranda

Advaita Makaranda (the Essence of Nondaulity)

In just two verses in the beginning of this brilliant work by Laksmidhara, the entire vision of Vedanta is captured, both as the nature of the self (svarupa laksanam) and the cause of the world (tatastha laksanam). The twenty-six verses that follow succinctly lay out the essence of centuries of dialectics that reinforce this vision, making clear references to the shastra.
