Paramarthagite is one of eight treatises of Sri Nijaguna Sivayogi, a mystic, a poet and a philosopher. This book gives an exquisite description of the grand vision of the Transcendental Truth. More details: This is the name of the work of a Kannada mystic translated into English by an ardent devotee of the saint. As stated in the foreword, the original work is a masterpiece that is difficult to translate but the translation in the present instance is a summary of the ideas contained in the original composition which is in the nature of song. Such a summary may not merit the description of a translation but it serves the purpose of bringing the world into contact with a spiritual mentor like Nijaguna who lived before 1500 A.D. The original comprises 11 cantoes with more than 160 verses. It is not a book for scholars but it is a book for spiritual seekers. The English version presented here is beneficial from this point of view. - from Amzon
