Beyond nirvāṇa : the philosophy of Māyāvādism : a life history

Composed by Srila Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Goswami Mharaja Translated under the guidance of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Goswami Maharaja. This book especially investigates the philosophy of Sri Sankacarya, whose philosophical misinterpretations of the Vedas were so influential that he succeeded in driving Buddhism out of India. Furthermore, Beyond Nirvāṇa demonstrates that Sankacharyas teachings are, in the final analysis, ironically nothing but a recycled form of Buddhism-and in no way true to the original Vedic wisdom known as sanatna-dharma.
