 Majority of the theoretical frameworks in social sciences are from West. Our vocabulary to explain self is indebted to colonial choices. The book is an attempt to propose Ideas from India; an ancient civilisation. It underlines spiritual values in the present day education, how we behold “I’, ‘self’ and ‘apprehension’?. The goal is not to be divisive or to condemn others, nor is it to intellectually restrain students or keep them from leaving. Instead, authors goal is to teach with as much clarity as possible. So are the teachings of Adi-Shankaracharya. An attempt to write about Adi-Shankaracharya is meant to meet the spiritual needs of all those who can fully comprehend and benefit from his teachings. But none of this suggests that one teaching better than another. The ultimate purpose of The book is not to impart philosophical or spiritual principles, but to instigate enquiries. The text will also help the students of philosophy and religious studies to understand Hinduism as propagated by the Shankar. The purpose of dwelling within the philosophy of Sanatana and Advaita is to address the problem of human suffering. Shanker can most certainly bless the seekers with tremendous spiritual growth and inner peace.
