Description

Encountering The Memory-Self by Swami Satyamayananda

In the Bhagavadgita Sri Krishna declares:

I am seated in the hearts of all. From Me are memory, knowledge, and their loss. I alone am the object to be known through all the Vedas; I am also the originator of the Vedanta, and I Myself am the knower of the Vedas.

By studying and understanding memory, which is the basis of our physical and mental life, we can go a long way into understanding how human self-consciousness is also the basis of memory and karma. This small book is written not merely from the academic standpoint but from the author s personal enquiry into the intricacies of mind, karma, memory, and so on.

Written as a series of eight articles entitled Memory in the Prabuddha Bharata, the essays have been revised and the technical information updated for this edition.

Swami Satyamayananda is the Assistant Minister of the Vedanta Society of Southern California in Hollywood. He is also the author of Ancient Sages
