The Great Master
Books have been written aplenty in any school of thought in Hinduism.
Abstract treatises abound on any strand of thinking.
Even on Sri Vaishnava Sampradaya, the books I have may fill up a library.
But all the books, all the treatises, on all the schools have their bearing, have their anchor in Vedantha.
Even the Agamas which centre their ideology on temple worship and theology have their locus in Vedantha.
Knowing Vedantha is knowing its methodology. Knowing Vedantha is explicating the world of Upanishads into consistent study of the Ultimate Truth.
The commentaries of the old, tutor this methodology and inculcate the Vedanthic thinking.
But we have a blessing in Swami Vivekananda. He is the great Master of Modern Hinduism.
His complete works provide a cogent text book of Hinduism and lends an efficient work table to improve oneself upon.
For the young generations and coming ages there is no other workable hypothesis better than reading the Great Sage.
Fortunately his works are online here
