Shankaracharya's Vivekachudamani itself does not need any introduction. It has always occupied the highest position among books dealing with the science of Self-realization and has been the vade mecum for spiritual aspirants throughout the last millennium. Even from a purely literary standpoint, its charm has always been irresistible and captivating. Added to all this, Swami Ranganathananda'’s commentary on this profound work in the light of modern thought and modern needs is both fascinating and inspiring.
May I be born again and again, and suffer thousands of miseries so that I may worship the only God that exists, the only God I believe in, the sum total of all souls--and, above all, my God the wicked, my God the miserable, my God the poor of all races, of all species, is the special object of my worship.
-Swami Vivekananda
