This book investigates the central metaphysics and epistemology of Advaita. Although the
vastness of Advaita literature has grown to immense proportions there has been a glaring
lacuna in unraveling its philosophical theological and religious implications. This volume
undertakes a thematic search on the conception of Atman in an all-important Advaitic text the
Vivekacudamani and other supportive texts of the same genre. Walter Menezes aims to revive
Advaita as a sound philosophical system by driving away the cloud of negativity associated with
it thereby opening a new chapter in the history of Advaita philosophy.
