Books I Read

These are the books I have read and/or listened to in the category I would title Vedanta.

I will divide this list into three parts.

• Section one: Audio Lectures (and Transcribed Books) by (and of) my Guru Swami Paramarthananda Saraswati
• Section two: Books on and about The Bhagavad Gita
• Section three: Everything Vedanta related

Someday I will create such a consolidated list that covers other religions and philosophies as well.
