So we are studying Aparokshanubhiti, an introductory text to Adwaita Vedanta.

A week ago, somebody asked me that, so this is an introductory text to Adweta Vedantah, so when will you start the real

Adwaita Vedantah? This is an introduction. So I said to him, don't worry, this is the real

Adwaiata Vedantar. Introductory text is a rough translation of the word prakharana. Prakharana is a simplified

introduction to the whole of Adwaita Vedant.

Some introductory texts deal with a part of some aspects of the philosophy.

Some introductory texts deal with the entire philosophy in a simplified form.

So this Aparokshanubhuti, it deals with the entirety.

The essence of Adwaitata Vedanta is here.

So you need not worry that when are we going to get to the real thing.

This is the real thing.

Of course, the root texts, the canon, the

Advaita Vedantal, the fundamental foundational texts of Advaita Vedanta are

the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahmasutra

with their commentaries by Shankaracharya. So they are vast. They are like an ocean.

But this is a very good introduction.

Upper Okshanaghuti.
