Samkara (c.700 CE) has been regarded by many as the most
authoritative Hindu thinker of all time. A great Indian Vedantin
brahmin, Samkara was primarily a commentator on the sacred texts of
the Vedas and a teacher in the Advaitin teaching line. This book
serves as an introduction to Samkara's thought which takes this as
a central theme. The author develops an innovative approach based
on Samkara's ways of interpreting sacred texts and creatively
examines the profound interrelationship between sacred text,
content and method in Samkara's thought. The main focus of the book
is on Samkara's teaching method. This method is, for Samkara, based
on the Upanishads' own; it is to be employed by Advaitin teachers
to draw pupils skilfully towards that realisation which is beyond
all words. Consequently, this book will be of interest not only to
students and scholars of Indian philosophy, but to all those
interested in the relation between language and that which is held
to transcend it.
