Description
Dennis Waite, author of over 12 books on Advaita, presents Volume 2 of his rigorous exploration into the most contentious topics facing spiritual seekers. While the first volume looked specifically at the relative value of knowledge and experience for enlightnement, this essential sequel asks whether ignorance is an actual entity that must be destroyed.
This book is designed for spiritual seekers who are committed to the teaching of Advaita but remain uncertain about the ‘correct’ understanding of the core principles. This work reveals Sankara’s view of the matter and show where other authors diverge, enabling the reader to discern essential teaching from academic complexity.
All of the key, post-Sankara concepts and arguments are addressed, such as mulavidya, avidyalesa, mithyajnana. Contrary views such as those of Ramanuja’s ‘Seven Untenables’, are covered, and the attempts by Sri Satchidanandendra to re-establish Sankara’s authentic teaching.
The book then considers exactly what happens, once Self-knowledge has brought about ‘enlightenment’. What happens to the jiva who is now a jnanai, and does the world disappear?
Waite explicitly highlights areas of confusion to enable the reader to understand what is important and what can be safely ignored. The fundamental purpose is to lead seekers to a deep and proper understanding of traditional Advaita Vedanta.

Holy Kashi to Vibrant Varanasi
Kashi/Banaras/Varanasi is a world of its own, a veritable mini India, unique in almost all respects. Its contradictions can be seen in its blend of spirituality and darkness, sanctity and filth, purity and deceipt, culture and grossness.
Luminous Kashi to Vibrant Varanasi presents, as no other book has done before, all these aspects of this paradoxical and fascinating city, and gives an amazing quantity of information on the city, its history, culture and people; its temples and tirthas, mathas and institutions; its scholars, some of them the best in the country; its festivals and lilas; its literature, music, painting and culture; its silk trade and crafts; and its typical inhabitants: sadhus, pandits, pandas, babus, rais, thugs and gundas. More than all, the book finds out, with the help of mythology and metaphysics, the essence of Kashi-its luminosity and its vibrancy! It finally says: walk not in the dark alleys, plunge not in the shallows, but more into the luminosity, and dive deep into the oceans of knowledge. The Kashi you find depends on how far you walk, how deep you dive!
