Overview

Shankara and Nisargadatta - Non-Duality What happens when two great Masters from different ages speak the same Truth? This book is a spiritual bridge across time - a comparative journey between Adi Shankaracharya, the foundational voice of Advaita Vedānta, and Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, the modern beacon of non-dual realization. Though separated by over a millennium, these two sages reveal the same ultimate message: You are not the body, nor the mind. You are the Self - timeless, free, and ever-present. Inside this book, you will find: - A concise and heartfelt spiritual biography of Nisargadatta Maharaj, with essential quotations, reflections, and meditative aphorisms. - An introduction to Adi Shankara's teachings, including seven of his most powerful hymns - presented in Sanskrit, IAST transliteration, and fluent English translation, following academic standards of philological accuracy. - A unique comparative analysis showing how both Masters, despite different expressions and styles, converge toward one absolute realization. This is not just a book of philosophy. It is a living teaching - written with the clarity and directness of someone who has walked the path, experienced the fire of truth, and returned only to share what cannot be taught: the recognition of the Self beyond all concepts. Whether you are a long-time practitioner of Advaita Vedānta or a sincere seeker touched by Nisargadatta's fierce wisdom, this book offers a rare synthesis that illuminates the One Reality spoken through two distinct, luminous voices. Let this book be not just a reading, but a reflection. Not a doctrine, but a pointing - from duality to the One.
