This is the essence of all yoga methods and paths. Its a conversation between Lord Datta and Parshuram who seems to be going in the direction of realization with having lot of dispassion to surroundings. A master piece. After reading and practicing yoga this final book answers all questions, and best part is a good for beginner since its in form of parables.. Awesome!

The best book I've ever read. Specially chapter 20 - Vidya Gita. A must read for the seekers of Truth to Self Realization. 🙏Om Sri Matre Namaha 🙏

Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi spoke highly of Tripura Rahasya. This book came as a recommendation from a fellow spiritual seeker. Tripura Rahasya is a synthesis of everything that a seeker needs to know, I felt. One of the chapters towards the end of the book is Vidya Gita. It is quite inexplicable for me - so I am really lost for words to describe how moving it was to read and contemplate. The book itself is eye-opening and cleared a number of doubts I personally had. This chapter felt like a jewel of non-dualism.

Good introduction to the Advaita philosophy of non-duality. Have to skip over the misogynistic parts though.
