Tripura Rahasya: The Mystery beyond the Trinity Paperback – Big Book, 2 June 2014

I ordered for replacement of the book due defect as shown in pictures above. But to may dismay, i received Amazon message that it (old) is picked up and (new) delivered also in replacement arrangement, where as nothing such happened and the old, defective book is still lying with me. Please enquire for necessary action.

Tripura Rahasya is a classic advaita text that explores the relationship of the individual person with the supreme cosmic consciousness (Self of the self). The text itself is based as a conversation between two people which makes it useful for understanding as compared to some rigorous philosophical texts such as those of Shankara. That does not mean this book lacks the philosophical depth and insights into Advaita philosophy. Creation, ego, individual soul, nature of samadhi and Jnana are all dealt with throughly in this teaching and make this book a self-sufficient text meant to be read again and again and used as a reference "Bible". Overall, there is a nice balance of story-telling to relate complex concepts with philosophical treatising. This book definitely needs to be by your side and not on your shelf, if you are a serious sadhak/Jnani that is becoming.

This is a lovely translation! So much to cogitate on here...

Good read

I enjoyed reading this book. I found this book to be very intense book on oneness. Broken-up into small pieces of paragraphs. The translator has tried the best to keep the essence and to the point.
