In this section are summaries, talks, and short reviews of books and articles which cover non-duality and the non-dual approach. Some publications that are specifically about it can be useful in a more spacious sense for a better grasp of Advaita. Although the summaries list is long in the Dutch language, only English language publications are included here. If it links to a Dutch summary, we hope to translate it in the future. If it links to an English summary we are all in luck!
When the book is available in the Advaita Center library, it is so noted. These books can be borrowed.
The initial of every author are noted at the end of every summary.
