Saṃvāda: Dialogues on Oneness in Bloomington, MN

An important component of self-inquiry is engaging in fruitful dialogues with the teacher. This is because the limitless self as unfolded by the Upanishads is extremely subtle and not available for objectification. Further, since Brahman is not belief-based, but something to be understood as the truth of oneself, it is inevitable for various questions to arise in the learning process. A salient component of the pedagogy of self-inquiry includes raising and answering queries such as "How can one, confined to this finite body-mind-complex be the omniscient and limitless Brahman?"
This book is a compilation of student questions answered by the author over the course of several residential Vedanta retreats. It is hoped that this book whets the appetite of spiritual aspirants everywhere.
