Title: The Charles Johnston Esoteric Rendering; The True Essence.
Product review: This Charles Johnston Version of the Crest-Jewel of Wisdom is by far the most accurate and esoteric translation. Many of Sankara's other great writings are also included. You will not find them else where. "Viveka Chudamani".This Original 1946 Theosophical University Press Covina version is a Great edition. Most worthy of picking up a pristine copy.The Charles Johnston 'Forgotten Books' publisher's Type set and other changes as mentioned by them, do make that version the best and most readable reprint available.The 1964 Watkins version is a complete rewrite;over 25 years after his first Version, he decided to rewrite under a different perspective.Though both are worth having ... I would go with the first version if you desire a 'True Essence' translation. The Charles Johnston translations are simply the Only versions worth Reading.True Non Dualism...Advaita & Sankara.Well worth the prices these are being sold for.
