Vivekachudamani - Word for word meaning & Gramatical Analysis, and Translation. Vivekacudamani, the Crest Jewel of Viveka, the ability to discriminate, analyse and abide in the supreme Reality, is one of the masterpieces by Bhagavan di Sankaracarya. The best of his prakarana-granthas, this text is in the form of questions asked by a disciple and the answers provided by the preceptor. Viveka is to discriminate between the Real and the unreal, Eternal and non-eternal, Brahman and the world. The content is highly philosophical, that of Advaita-vedanta; yet the verses have intrinsic poetic qualities and a rhythm that make it easy to be memorised. Many figures of speech are scattered through the free- flowing mellifluous language of Sri Adi Sankaracarya. This book contains each verse of Vivekacudamani (1-581) with the original Sanskrit verse, anvaya (prose-order), vrtta, word for word meaning with grammatical analysis, and free-flowing translation.
