The Upadesasahasri, or A Thousand Teachings consists of a metrical part and a prose part. In the metrical part, Sankara discusses the basic philosophical problems of non-dualism, at the same time refuting the teachings of other philosophical schools. In the prose part, he explains how to teach the way to self realization--to enlightenment.Sa?kara and the great Abhinavagupta are generally regarded as the two greatest thinkers in the long history of Indian philosophy. Sankara represented Advaita Vedanta, a non-dualistic view of ultimate reality. Most of his works are commentaries on classics of Indian thought. A Thousand Teachings is the only non-commentarial work that can be attributed to him; the other independent writings ascribed to him are probably spurious.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51882942071072,"sku":"NEW0791409449","price":34.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71VZoWlUJ5S.jpg?v=1781851254","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-thousand-teachings-the-upadesasahasri-of-sankara-0791409449","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
