Ezines and Ebooks on Advaita

Amigo is a free Web magazine about Non Duality. There are articles by the editor (Kees Schreuders), Wolter Keers (a disciple of Ramana Maharshi) and others such as Douglas Harding, Krishna Menon and Tony Parsons. Dutch teachers such as Jan van Delden and Hans Laurentius also have essays and satsang extracts translated into English. New issues come available several times per year. They are professionally produced and some of the articles are excellent. See Issue 2, for example, for lucid discussions on the topic of free will (or not!).

Another web magazine is published less frequently by Harsha Satsangh, another of the Advaita E-Groups hosted by Yahoo.

Dancing with the Divine is an on-line magazine containing articles and poems of non-dual wisdom.

There is an e-book introduction to Advaita by D. Krishna Ayyar that can be read in full on-line. Despite claiming to be 'a presentation for beginners' this is very comprehensive covering practically any topic that you might think of. This is a classical treatment that uses all of the correct Sanskrit terminology.

Another e-book is partially presented at 'Garland of Advaitic Wisdom'. This advertises the complete book by Ajati, a devotee of Ramana Maharshi. With an emphasis on ajati-vada, the theory that nothing has ever been created, a number of pages are available on line. There are quotations from a number of classic Advaita scriptures as well as from Ramana Maharshi, Zen and Tao.

An excellent, step by step, Introduction to Advaita, presented in the form of a dialogue (of 1008 single lines) has been written by Professor V. Krishnamurthy (see below). The link above presents the pages for viewing on-line. Alternatively, the complete dialogue may be downloaded as a PDF file from the Advaitin site (see above).

Self Knowledge is a journal (of Adhyatma Yoga and Advaita Vedanta) produced by Shanti Sadan. There are articles on key yoga teachings and a selection from the archives.
