The Jivanmukti-Viveka, written by the Advaita Vedanta scholar Vidyaranya, is a philosophical text that describes the path to liberation (moksha) in this lifetime. It emphasizes self-realization as the key to freedom from the cycle of birth and death, presenting jivanmukti—the state of liberation while still alive. The text teaches that realizing the true self (Atman) as identical to Brahman, the ultimate reality, leads to liberation. It offers practical guidance on discrimination (viveka), detachment (vairagya), meditation, and wisdom for spiritual aspirants seeking liberation.
Swami Vidyaranya (1296–1391) was a prominent Indian philosopher and spiritual leader, renowned for his contributions to Advaita Vedanta. As the head of Sringeri Sharada Peetham, he revived the Advaita tradition and authored key texts like Jivanmukti-Viveka and Panchadasi. Vidyaranya also played a pivotal role in founding the Vijayanagara Empire and Manilal N.Dvivedi: Manilal Nabhubhai Dwivedi (1858–1898) was a prominent Gujarati writer, philosopher, and social reformer. A proponent of Advaita philosophy, he advocated for women's rights, widow remarriage, and opposed Western influences.
