Suggested Reading

This is not an exhaustive list, but rather a great starting point for aspirants. You’ll notice that a slew of the texts below aren’t directly related to Hinduism or, more specifically, to Advaita Vedanta. They are included because they are useful practical or theoretical stepping stones to self-realization. If you have any recommendations of texts we should add to this list, feel free to send them via the Contact page.
