Kotta Satchidananda Murty (1924–2011), also known as Satchidananda, KSM, Murty, was a vociferous writer and an iconoclast. This volume is a collection of his unpublished writings. It includes Murty's views on the Veda, its meaning, relevance and study, and shows the significance of the Ved?ntic vision to the modern world. Murty elucidates the basic tenets of Advaita Ved?nta and expounds the Advaitic doctrine of the relationships between Brahman and God, Brahman and the individual self, as well as God and the world. In his writings, Murty contrasts empirical knowledge with transcendental wisdom and surveys the history of Indian science and scientific views in ancient times. The book also includes Murty's musings on the scholar ?a?kar?c?rya's philosophy, authorship and religious life.

An important contribution to Indian philosophy, the volume will be of great interest to scholars, teachers and students of Hindu philosophy, Bhagavadg?t?, Ved?ntic philosophy, Advaita Ved?nta, comparative philosophy, religious studies, and South Asian studies.
