Amrita Vichara – New Book

Posted on by
The Chinmaya Prakashan team is delighted to announce the release of a profound new book in English titled “AMRITA-VICHARA” – A Nectarean Enquiry – by Swami Tejomayananda.

‘Immortality’ is the main topic of all spiritual study. Presented here is a simple yet profound Vedantika enquiry by Swami Tejomayananda that analyses the meaning and implication of the word ‘amrtam’.

The book points out that the real ‘amrtam’ is that which eliminates sorrow-fear-delusion (shoka-bhaya-moha) and brings  purification of the mind and total peace.

Read, Reflect and Contemplate.
