This page gives details of the books of KVK Thampuran, a compilation of Gurudev Swami Chinmayandaji's published works and talks
A Manual of Self-Unfoldment was Sri.Thampuran's first book in 1975. Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji agave his blessings to Thampuran's idea of a book on the basic treatises of Vedanta based on Swamiji's talks and published works. This was edited by Swamiji himself in USA and the sample copy was printed there. This is humbly donated to Chinmaya Mission, Powai, Mumbai.
Vedanta : The Science of Life are a set of three books that were written by Sri Thampuran from 1975 till 1982. In the Dedication section he writes "To a Vedantin, all his actions are nothing but expressions of the Glory of the Guru who is none other than the Supreme self... Neither had I the experience nor the scholarship even to conceive such a superhuman task. All that I had with me was the blessings of Poojya Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji when I offered myself to work in the field of what may be called 'Applied Vedanta'. Indeed I was blessed, for without the unbroken flow of Grace from the Guru I would not have had the vision or the ability or even the consistency of purpose which somehow stood with me all through ....
