The Multifaceted Jivanmukta (Abridged Edition)

On the sacred 108th jayantī (on 20th October, 2025) of His Holiness Jagadguru Śrī Abhinava-vidyātirtha Mahāsvāmin, the 35th Jagadguru Shankaracharya of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham, the Centre for Brahmavidya reverentially releases the book, The Multifaceted Jīvanmukta (Abridged Edition). The unabridged original edition of this book was released on 18th October 2017, on His Holiness’s birth centenary, by His Holiness Jagadguru Śrī Bhāratī-tīrtha Mahāsvāmin, the present Pontiff of the Peetham, who had directed that the book be written and graced it with His signed śrīmukha. Hard copies of that publication went out of stock quickly, but the free digital edition has remained available, with over 600,000 downloads to date. The chapters of the original book containing His Holiness’s scriptural expositions, parables, essays, scientific insights, and tours have been omitted. The teachings appear in the book “From Sorrows to Bliss”, published by the Centre for Brahmavidya, available in print and as a free download. His Holiness’s scientific insights are elaborated in “Scientific Evidence – Vedantic Light”, and this book is available in physical form and as a freely downloadable e-book. The chapter on His tours is now issued separately by the Centre for Brahmavidya as a free downloadable document titled “The Vijayayātras of His Holiness Jagadguru Śrī Abhinava-vidyātīrtha Mahāsvāmin.” The present abridged edition has been prepared and published as per the directive of His Holiness Jagadguru Śrī Bhāratī-tīrtha Mahāsvāmin and with His blessings.
