Pages : 126

Book Description
Written seven hundred years ago, Jnaneshwara’s Amritanubhava is one of India’s greatest philosophical and spiritual writings, alongside the Bhagavad-Gita, the Upanishads and the great texts of Shankaracharya and Kabir. Jnaneshwara opens the spiritual perspective of Absolute Reality by dispelling any duality between our inner divinity and the individuality of our human soul. His astonishingly original discourse alternates the deepest philosophical insights with often amusing analogies to help the understanding without falling into the serious and abstruse trap of didactic treatises. Reading the Amritanubhava is, also and above all, a spiritual experience that Jnaneshawara wished for all humanity. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi praised this masterpiece, stating that Jnaneshwara had described what happens after Self-realization.
