The purpose of this book is to investigate the nature of the soteriology the
quest for liberation of Advaita Vedanta. The enquiry restricts itself to a
concrete example of this tradition to illustrate the problem. There are two
major areas explored in this study. The first involves the inter relation and
interdependence of philosophy and religion. Gaudapada and his text are used to
illustrate the synthesis of these two aspects within Advaita Vedanta.
