Advaita is the philosophy underlying most religions, including Christianity, though it is more usually associated with Hinduism. Its essence is summed up in its Sanskrit name, which essentially means "there are not two things."The full title of the philosophy is "Advaita Vedanta." Vedanta, derived from the scriptures that form the last part of the Vedas, itself means "the end of knowledge." in the sense of being the highest knowledge one can attain. It is not in itself a religion, there are no churches or priests, but it is at the root of all wisdom.Advaita Vedanta quite simply provides the answers to the essential questions of "life, the universe and all existence." It is very practical, yet offers explanations satisfying to the intellect. It provides a simple and elegant framework within which all of the problems of life and death may be understood and resolved. The answers are ultimately surprising, and a great relief.The Book of One is perhaps the most accessible, articulate and relevant book on the nature of non-duality.DENNIS WAITE lives in Dorset, UK.
