What is enlightenment? What is it not? This book examines the satsang phenomenon (and its more extreme, neo-Advaita variant), contrasting these approaches with the traditional methods passed down from teacher to disciple for over a thousand years.

Advaita is a spiritual philosophy based on the Upanishads, older than most other religious systems we know about but also the most logical and scientific in its approach. This book is a systematic treatment of Advaita which demystifies it, differentiating between approaches and teachers, enabling you to decide which approach is suitable for you.

Shows that true happiness is to be found in realising that we are not separate from everything else - whether people, objects or happiness itself. This work, of popular philosophy from an Eastern perspective, analyses our perennial search for happiness and explains why we can't find it in modern lifestyles, pleasure or fame.

Provides an introduction to Advaita, the non-dual philosophy which provides an explanation for who we are and the nature of the universe. This book addresses the issues that are covered by both traditional teachers from the lineage of Shankara and by modern satsang teaching and Direct Path methods stemming from Ramana Maharshi and Krishna Menon.
