This book features translations of seven out of twelve profound treatises written in Kannada by His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatheertha Mahaswamiji, the 35th Jagadguru Shankaracharya of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham. Although each insightful essay can stand alone, it is evident to a discerning reader that the seven chapters, each containing a didactic article, form a cohesive collection. The essays explore all facets of bhakti, elucidate the importance and role of the Vedanta-śāstra, explain the scriptural teachings on Truth, related reasoning, the role of a Guru, the realization of the Supreme, and the significance and greatness of Shankara Bhagavatpāda. Each essay serves as a valuable resource for seekers of spiritual knowledge and guidance. True to His Holiness's style, not a single word is superfluous, inaccurate, or lacking in significance. Each enlightening treatise is densely packed with meaningful content, and the reasoning presented is sharp and decisive.
