Advaita Vedanta, the world's premier science of consciousness and enlightenment, has been setting minds free for thousands of years. Rooted in the ancient Vedas, it defines enlightenment as freedom from the sense of limitation and lack so universal to human beings.
This freedom is attained by the removal of self-ignorance and the realisation that you are, in actuality, much more than you appear to be. According Vedanta, only true Self-Knowledge leads to lasting happiness and fulfilment.
"Enlightenment Made Simple" demystifies enlightenment and unfolds the core principles of Vedanta, a time-tested roadmap to freedom. Topics include identity, desire and suffering, the nature of the Self, Consciousness, God and the phenomenal universe, as well as karma, meditation, devotion and how to attain freedom by taming and re-educating the mind.
Accessible yet comprehensive and written in a simple, conversational style, this book includes a six week syllabus of study and numerous guided exercises and meditation to aid in the practical realisation of this timeless wisdom.
