About

Manonash Books is a small imprint established to keep a collection of carefully chosen books in print. The name is a Sanskrit word, manonāśa, meaning the dissolution of the ego-mind, or false centre. Each title in the list has some bearing on this.

Jean Klein, a twentieth-century pioneer of Advaita in the West, has long been a reference point for readers of non-duality and our imprint carries his complete published work.

Alongside the Jean Klein titles are Collision with the Infinite, Dancing with the Void and Goner: engaging records of people whose lives were no longer organised around a conventional sense of self.

The books are designed and produced by the publisher who has worked in independent publishing for twenty-five years. In the UK they can be ordered directly from this site; elsewhere they are available from your local Amazon.

  • The Jean Klein Foundation is planning to have its own website online again by the end of 2026. Details will be posted here as soon as it is available.
