Book Summary of Sarva Siddhanta Sangraha Of Sankaracarya The Sarva-darsana-siddhanta-san-graha, also known as Sarva-siddhanta-sangraha, ascribed to the great Advaita teacher Shankaracharya is a versified epitome of the basic tenets of the major schools of Indian philosophy-both theistics and atheistic. The work faithfully presents the conclusions of all the schools, each in a separate chapter in lucid and as for as possible non-technical langauge. It avoids all the controversies among different schools. It is a very useful work for the students of any branch of Indian philosophy, because without the basic knowledge of all the branches, it is difficult to comprehend any particular school.
