Aparokshanubhuti, an original composition of Sri Adi Sankaracharya, is an introductory text explaining the fundamental concepts and terminologies used in Vedanta, the Indian science of Life. Literally meaning the "Direct Experience," it is a hands-on book for anyone who seeks the essential nature of Reality and Existence.

The commentary by Swami Chinmayananda on this text brings out a very modern outlook on this age-old composition. His compelling logic and reasoning puts the stated ideas and concepts in its most pragmatic form enabling us to use it as a vehicle for contemplation and meditation on the highest Truth as declared in the Scriptures.
