There are innumerable differences between humans and other beings, but it narrows down to one principle distinction. The humanly ability to discriminate. A lion can certainly tell a hunter from a prey; this discrimination is a primal urge that aids in survival. However, the boon of discriminating between the temporal world and the ever-present unchanging Truth, the Supreme, is exclusive to humans. A basic understanding of this, or even questioning the existence of this statement, is oftentimes the stepping stone to one's spiritual seeking.
Sri Adi Shankaracharya's Vivekachoodamani translated as 'the crest-jewel of discrimination' is an important introductory text that acquaints a seeker with the joys of Vedanta. It walks one through the importance and the process of subtler discrimination, that must lead to dispassion towards worldly objects of desire.
Chinmaya International Foundation and Chinmaya Mission Mattancherry present online discourses on Vivekachoodamani, with Br. Ved Chaitanya.
Br. Ved Chaitanya comes from a family steeped in the Chinmaya Mission. An electronics and telecommunication engineer from Pune, he withdrew from work in TCS to follow his heart. He received Brahmacharya Diksha in 2013. An impactful orator, cheerful, kind-hearted, and a scholarly student of Sanskrit and Vedanta, his particular interest lie in the application of Vedanta in daily life.

Is this advaitha book?? Vivekachudamani??
Yes, Vivekachudamani is Advaita text-By developing the quality of discrimination, a power solely accorded to man, one can distinguish between the eternal and the temporal, which in turn opens the gateway to peace and happiness. Vivekachoodamani, literally translated as the 'Crest Jewel of Discrimination' is a compendium of 580 verses on the ways to know, understand and reach Brahman, the Reality in us.
Composed by the Sage, Adi Sankaracharya, Vivekachoodamani is in the form of a dialogue between the student and the Teacher, with the latter guiding the student along the spiritual path.
Swami Chinmayananda's commentary is the perfect companion for students walking the spiritual path in understanding its timeless wisdom.

Sir, is this advaitha book?? If we read this book do we get all advaitha knowledge??
Yes Mokshagna Kanya Ji,
The Vivekachudamani is a philosophical treatise within the Advaita Vedanta tradition of Hinduism, Vivekachudamani literally means the "crest-jewel of discernment". The text discusses key concepts and the viveka or discrimination or discernment between real (unchanging, eternal) and unreal (changing, temporal), Prakriti and Atman, the oneness of Atman and Brahman, and self-knowledge as the central task of the spiritual life and for Moksha.
Composed by the Sage, Adi Sankaracharya, Vivekachudamani is in the form of a dialogue between the student and the Teacher, with the latter guiding the student along the spiritual path.
