Description / Insight
The Upanishads articulate one of the earliest and most precise formulations of nonduality.
They describe the inner Self (Atman) as identical to the ultimate reality (Brahman).
This recognition dissolves the root of separation by shifting the locus of divinity from external forms to the core of one’s own awareness.

A civilizational pivot from action-based religion to knowledge-based awakening. The path moves inward, revealing that liberation arises from the recognition of unity rather than mastery of rituals.

I Am That is a collection of dialogues between Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj and seekers from around the world, recorded in Bombay in the early 1970s.
Through uncompromising clarity, Maharaj points every question back to its source: the awareness that knows experience.
He dismantles identification with the body, the mind, and even spiritual concepts, revealing the timeless reality behind them — the pure “I Am” that precedes thought and form. The transmission is not conceptual but vibrational.
Each exchange functions as a mirror, reflecting the reader back into stillness.
It is not a philosophy to believe, but a fire to burn all beliefs.
This spiritually significant work is a profound series of dialogues between one of the great sages of our time and his inquirers. These "Talks" offer a genuinely universal approach to Truth, by directly pointing to the certainty of our essential nature. By applying even a few of these passages to our life, we can become aware of the ever-present, abiding Reality.Through the wise words of this beloved sage, we are clearly and consistently shown how to reclaim our innate Freedom--simply by looking in the right place and discovering what has always been present. A fundamental shift of attention is all that is required. By approaching these dialogues in the spirit of inquiry, one has the opportunity to awaken to a greater Reality: that of our own Being, our true Self.
The Upanisads are ancient philosophical texts that form the basis of the Hindu religion. The Hindus believe that these ancient works reveal the truth of the ultimate reality, and the path to moksha , or salvation. There are more than 200 Upanishads. Dr. Radhakrishnan wrote many books on Indian Philosophy to enlighten the people, especially the Westerners, on India s rich traditions and philosophy. The Principal Upanisads was first published by him in the year 1953. Here, he translates the meaning and the gist of the Upanisads in English, in order to make this knowledge easily accessible to the West. In the preface to the book, Dr. Radhakrishnan points out the significance and the value of the Upanisads. Even if they seem insignificant or unimportant in the modern world, they still deserve to be studied as a memorial of India s past, and as the foundation of the lives and the beliefs of millions of people in the earlier ages. Dr. Radhakrishnan asks the readers not to judge these valuable philosophical texts based on modern standards, but to make an attempt to understand and appreciate them based on the values and the standards of the time when they were written, and were the most applicable. To understand our traditions and to preserve our character and national being, Dr Radhakrishnan believes that it is essential to study and understand the Upanisads. The topics covered in the book include General Influence of the Upanisads, The Relation of the Upanisads to the Vedas, The Aranyakas and the Brahmanas, The Upanisads, Ultimate Reality: Atman Knowledge and Ignorance, Ethics, Karma and Rebirth, Religion, and The Individual Self. This is followed by the Sanskrit Originals, and also the verse by verse commentaries and English translations of some of the main Upanisads. The book has 2 Appendices, which give the perspectives of Edmond Holmes and Rabindranath Tagore on the Upanisads. Written by one of the most respected and influential Indian scholars, The Principal Upanisads, has been republished several times.
