""A Lecture on the Vedanta: Embracing the Text of the Vedanta-Sara"" is a book written by James Robert Ballantyne and published in 1850. The Vedanta is a school of Hindu philosophy that emphasizes the unity of the individual soul and the universal soul. In this book, Ballantyne provides a lecture on the Vedanta philosophy, focusing on the text of the Vedanta-Sara, a condensed summary of the Vedanta teachings. He discusses the key concepts of the Vedanta, such as the nature of the self, the nature of God, and the path to liberation. Ballantyne also provides historical and cultural context for the Vedanta, and compares it to other philosophical systems such as Buddhism and Christianity. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Vedanta philosophy and its place in the history of Indian thought.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
