Svarupanusandhanam

One’s true nature is of the nature of Sat–Cit–Ananda. In the eight verses of this lucid prakarana-grantha, Sri Adi Sankaracharya brings home to the ardent seeker the method of deeply contemplating on this Truth as one’s own Self. To engage in such a contemplation one needs the necessary preparation of gaining purity of mind and clarity of intellect, approaching the Guru duly and gaining the Self-knowledge through the process of shravana, manana and nididhyasana. This too he elaborates upon. The last verse promises for the seeker the ultimate Liberation, if he were to follow the path and teachings expounded in these eight verses of the Svarupanusandhanam.

These discourses by Swami Advayananda were recorded during the Vedanta Unveiled Camp held at Adi Sankara Nilayam in November 2023.
