Jnana Yoga

This is a very important work on a difficult subject. Gyana Yoga is the path of attaining the Absolute through the use of right knowledge, that is, through constant discrimination between the true and the false. Learning to recognize what is true can be a difficult oath, and there are many philosophical quandaries along this road.

But Swami Vivekananda with his powerful oratory and use of his vast knowledge lays bare the basic principles of Gyana. In this book, he shows that Gyana is not a doctrinal path but something that can be reached through reasoning. This is one of the greatest expositions on the beliefs of Advaita Vedanta, specially since it is done not through technical terms but through a direct appeal to logic and reason. The show more path of Gyana Yoga through this book becomes a path of spirituality that is accessible to those who would not like to abandon science and reason for religion. show less
