Avasthatraya or The Unique Method of Vedanta

The following is an article contributed to the Vedanta Number of the Kalyana Kalpataru, Gorakhpur, in 1936. Readers interested in the subject are recommended to study Shankara's Bhashyas on the Upanishads, especially the Mandukya, Prasna, and portions of Brihadaranyaka and Chandogya relating to the three Avasthas. This book almost exhausts the merits of the Avasthaic Method and should be in the hands of every earnest student of Vedanta.
