THE CREST JEWEL OF WISDOM And Other Writings of Sri Sankaracharya
Translated by Charles Johnston  Introduction by Judith Tyberg
In Sankaracharya (the blessed teacher) we have an example of the statement that "Masters are living facts." Mankind needs such assurance these days, and needs not only the inspiration of the story of a man who has lived divinely, but also his kindly and strengthening words of wisdom. What greater gift could the Hindu sage have left us than that of a collection of soul-stirring thoughts?
