This book aims to give an exposition of basic tenets of Advaitism as propounded by Sankara in a succinct yet comprehensive manner. It is often claimed that Sankara looked upon the world as a Maya or illusion and rejected karmayoga.

It has been clearly brought out how these widespread beliefs are unfounded. Separate chapters have been earmarked to exposition of sankara's major works like Vivekchoodamani and his seminal commentarie on the Gita, the panisads and the Brahama Sutras This book highlights the tremendous contribution made by Sankara to the evolution of Hindu metaphysics.

It ishoped that through this publiction even a lay reader will be able to appreciate why Advaitism has been aptly described as the acme of Indian philosophy.
