ग्रन्थविवरणम् [Description]          - Philosophy should base itself on Acknowledged facts and not on hypothetical possibilities. So, after Goudapada and Shankara, the author takes his stand on life with its three independent aspects of waking. dream and dreamless sleep. This book is characterized by deep and vast scholarship, perspicacious analysis, fearless critical assessment and a remarkably arresting English style. This book is not a mere dogmatic assertion of the greatness of Vedanta, but a systematic establishment of an Eternal Truth. “Vedanta is a Positive Science founded on reason, intuition and universal experience”. With a thorough and impeccable knowledge of Oriental and Occidental schools of philosophy, the author was able to cognize the relative merits of each system. This monumental work examines all Philosophical dicta from Socrates, Plato and Aristotle down to Hegel, Schopenhauer and Rusell vis-avis the truth enshrined in Vedanta. Swamiji in his introductory remarks which runs into 20 pages has said about the author of this book, K.A. Krishnaswami Iyer “.....in my former ashrama, a student in the central college, Bangalore, while he was a teacher there, and the benefit I have had ever since of discussing Vedantic topics with him......”
