Advaitamoda the fragrance of Advaitamoda by Mahamahopadhyaya Vasudevasastri Abhyankar is a very useful book for understanding the two great Vedanta tradition. Advaita Vedanta and Visistadvaita Vedanta. Advaitamoda contains four chapters The first two chapters present the teachings of Advaita and of Visistadvaita respectively. Then follows a summation of the differences between these two traditions. The third and fourth chapters enter into a detailed critique of the arguments which Ramanuja advanced against Advaita in the LAGKU and Maha-Sidhanta portions of his great work, the Sri Bhasya.

The procedure followed in these chapters is that a. passage from the Sri Bhasya is firstly cited and then taken up for discussion. In the way . Most of the Laghu and Mahasidhania portions of Sri Bhasya systematically quoted and discussed. Dr Michael Oomans, from the Australian National University, who has studied Advaita Vedanta in traditional manner over a number of years, has translated the Advaitamoda from Sanskrit into English.
