Hi Srikanth,
If you want only one book, I would recommend unreservedly the
following:-
Vedanta Treatise by A. Parthasarathy
He studied all the essential scriptures for many years and distilled
the essence into this offering, which also uses modern metaphors and
references to such as Shakespeare to aid in understanding.
The one slight drawback is that you may find it difficult to obtain
outside of India. However, if you write to Vedanta Life Institute, 1A
Landsend, Dongarsi Road, Malabar Hill, Bombay 400 006, India, they
will probably provide you with an address.
