Vaile ite lai te 4 ‘ erah sdeP The novelty of this book consists of the fact that it introduces the reader to the basic tenets of Advaita Vedanta in three independent but com- plementary ways: scripturally, rationally and experientially. All the three elements are usually found intertwined in accounts of Advaita Vedanta. They are’ presented distinctly here in the hope that each perspective will enrich one’s understanding of Advaita Vedanta as a whole and also allow the reader to form his or her own opinion about the relative merits of each approach.
