Synthesis of Vedanta

The Vedanta preached by Sri Ramakrishna has always been an enigma to many. Some hold that he preached the Advaita Vedanta of Sri Shankaracharya. Some others argue that he adapted the Vishishtadvaita Vedanta of Sri Ramanuja. Still others assert that he combined the Dvaita, Vishishtadvaita and Advaita.

Swami Tapasyananda, who was a scholar-monk of great eminence and one of the Vice-presidents of the Ramakrishna Order, has dealt with Sri Ramakrishna’s synthetic and comprehensive Vedanta in an erudite yet lucid way in his well-acclaimed works. This book incorporates his analysis of the subject culled from his books, especially Sri Ramakrishna Life and Teachings and Bhakti Schools of Vedanta.Thus, this book is a wonderful introduction not only to the works of Swami Tapasyananda, but to Vedanta itself.
