Reviews
A very welcome addition to the available Vivekacudamani translations: earlier translations have none of the flow and fluidity of expression presented here. John Grimes' style is very engaging and difficult Advaitic concepts are expressed with ease and in a diction easy to follow. Students of HIndu religious and philosophical thought and those engaged in comparative religious and philosophical problems will find great interest in this work. T.S.Rukmani, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada A very good, comprehensive overview of Sankara and his philosophy. This excellent summary and survey will be very useful in classes studying Sankara, Sanskrti, Vedanta, or Indian philosophy more generally. Grimes makes the text come alive and make sense in the 21st century. Penetrating and inviting. Boyd H.Wilson, Hope College, Michigan, USA '... this is an important contribution to scholarship about Samkara and a reliable translation that rightly surpasses previous translations of this important text...'
