Adhyasa
₹295The concept of Adhyasa in its three variants has to be asserted from the non-contradictory ground of Reality. In this context, there is a need to differentiate ‘mere appearance’ (as it appears) and ‘the actual appearance’ (as it is) or the unmanifest Reality. It cannot be denied that the concepts of ‘Brahmatkaikya’ and ‘Brahmabhava’ created confusion in many thinkers, but the authentic explanations by Sri Sankara steadfastly made the Advaitic perspective unchallengeable in all the times.
Advaita Metaphysics

Through inteded for beginners, it is a pretty difficult book, the chief reason for which is its extreme terseness. In 1850 Dr. E. Roer published an English edition of the Bhasa-pariccheda, with extracts from the Muktavali, which is long out of print. An English rendering of the work with the Muktavali was therefore overdue.
