This work brought out initially in 1889, consists of fragments from The Book of the Golden Precepts, selected for the daily use of Lanoos (Disciples). The precepts were translated and annotated by H.P.Blavatsky. The book has three fragments named The Voice of the Silence, The Two Paths and The Seven Portals respectively. Of the total of 316 precepts, 100 are in the first fragment, 95 in the second and 121 in the third. A detailed glossary for each of three fragments greatly facilitates its study.

The Voice of the Silence  was H.P.Blavatsky's last great effort in this world, the last service rendered to Those whose mouthpiece she was, and to their work for the moral and mental  upliftment  of humanity. It is one of the world's most inspiring books, a prose poem that moves us by an appeal to the divinest instincts of our nature.

Vivekacudamani  literally means 'crest jewel of wisdom'. It is an important original work of Sri Sankaracharya, one of the greatest sages of Ancient India. Endowed with lofty and sharp intellect, he wrote many incisive commentaries on great standard works of Hindu philosophy. But they are  beyond the reach of those who have not attained a high proficiency in Sanskrit and other collateral philosophical disciplines.

The author explains in definite and simple terms, on grounds of health, economy, ecology, ethics and spirituality, why the vegetarian diet is best for humans. He quotes numerous medical and other authorities of his time to show how unnecessary it is to slaughter millions of animals and birds for food, and what effect the killing and consumption of flesh has on the physical, emotional and mental nature of the persons involved. 

The arguments put forth in this book in favour of vegetarianism are finding more and more support in the present day.
