^{Unraveling the Lost Legacy of Vedanta: A Groundbreaking Exploration}

The history of the Vedanta school is well-documented from the time of Adi Shankaracharya, but what about its pre-Shankara origins? This vast and enigmatic period remains largely obscure, despite spanning nearly a thousand years between the compilation of the major Upanishads and Shankara's emergence.

During this time :

• Numerous philosophers and doctrinarians contributed to Vedantic thought.
• The tradition of the Upanishads remained unbroken, yet their interpretations evolved.
• The precise nature of these early Vedantic ideas remains largely unknown.
• A Revolutionary Study

This epoch-making work meticulously reconstructs the pre-Shankara Vedanta tradition using an unprecedented range of sources, including :

•  Sanskrit materials
•  Pali and Prakrit texts
• Tibetan and Chinese records 

By integrating these diverse perspectives, the book illuminates an era of Vedanta that had long remained in the shadows. An Award-Winning Masterpiece. For its groundbreaking research and scholarly depth, this book was honored with the Imperial Prize by the Japan Academy, solidifying its place as a seminal contribution to the study of Indian philosophy.

A must-read for scholars, seekers, and anyone fascinated by Vedanta’s hidden past!
