Vedanta-sara of Sadananda

This is a nice translation by Swami Nikhilananda of an important prakaraNa grantha of advaita vedAnta. I had the occasion to study this book in a course called "vedAnta dakShatA" at Madras Sanskrit College conducted by Shri KS Maheshwaran. The text is brief; it is easy to understand it superficially. But truly engaging with the whole of the shAstra it represents takes a life-time - or several life-times - of work. This book helps one to get started in a small but significant way. I also thank the Ramakrishna Math for bringing such precious books to the public for next to no cost. I feel immensely grateful and blessed to be able to read this book. Thank you!

The book essentially captures the essence of Vedanta, quoting from various Vedic scriptures, with verses in Samskrit explained in English. Really valuable, though at first reading everything may not be comprehended. But, easy enough with the explanations.

Very good for starters into Vedanta. After reading this one can understand Sankara commentary on upanishad

It is a good book for beginners. This is an authentic translation and it is beneficial for those who do not know Sanskrit. It is not perfect though owing to the same language barrier but yes, it is a start nonetheless.

Good treatise and an intro into Upanishads. Must read and guidance through u tube is essential

Perfect condition

This is a widely recommended book for those interested in Vedanta. Well written, nice explanation. Helpful if gone through before reading the Upanishads.

The quality of paper and the printing itself are not very good. You'd have to strain your eyes at times to read the small lettering on the creamish-yellow pages.
