«Shankara’s Crest Jewel of Discrimination» is the Vedanta philosophy work by Śaṅkarācārya, translated by Isherwood and Prabhavananda, in paperback.
For Śaṅkarācārya, the reality that pervades everything is divine; the individual soul coincides with the universal soul, and suffering arises from ignoring the true nature of being. The desire for happiness is a call to awaken: through self-knowledge, the ignorance created by the mind is dispelled and peace is attained.
Published by Vedanta Press in 1970, with 147 pages and text in English. The work is also known as Viveka-Chudamani, ‘the supreme jewel of discrimination’.
For students of Eastern philosophy and readers interested in Hindu spirituality, meditation and non-dual (advaita) thought.
Christopher Isherwood was an English and American novelist, playwright, screenwriter, autobiographer, and diarist. His best-known works include Goodbye to Berlin (1939), a semi-autobiographical novel which was the basis for Cabaret (1966); A Single Man (1964), adapted into a film directed by Tom Ford in 2009; and Christopher and His Kind (1976), a memoir which "carried him into the heart of the Gay Liberation movement".
