Details regarding the English translation of, Naiyshkamya Siddhi under the title, 'Realization of Consciousness Absolute' by A.J.Alston

                                I happened to come across the above text in the library of Ramanashram. I found this text to contain liberating knowledge of the highest kind, confining itself to the exalted theme of the real nature of the Witness. Since then, whenever I visit Ramanashram library, I make it a point to borrow the above text for reading for the whole of my session in the Ashram. I am not able to find a copy of the text in any of the publishers or book-sellers in Chennai including the Theosophical Publishing House, which publishes rare texts like this. Will somebody of this forum be able to throw light as to where I can get this text? I have found out from the internet that this is being sold in an Ashram of Ramakrishna in California. I further understand that this has been published by, 'Qest Books.' But it should be available in India. Further, Mr A.J.Alston has rendered into English the teachings of Sankara under titles, "Consciousness Absolute, Creation,

Enlightenment etc,"- everthing about advaita vedanta- bringing in a simple English the philosophy of non-duality as taught by Sankara based on his interpretation of Brahmasutras and major Upanishads. A few volumes are available in Ramakrishna Ashram library Madras. A.J.Alston is the disciple of the late Hariprasad Sastry, a very well-known teacher, who has established his spiritual foundation in London. Further, A.J.Alston has also translated into English a major work on the theme of Advaita written by one swamy Satichidanendeswara in Kannada. This book is also very excellent. It is available in the Ramakrishnashram librarary chennai. This is a very excellent work which should be read by all interested in advaita. But, I would like to know whether the other books mentioned by me are available in some publishing  house. Knowledegable members may kindly enligten me on this.
