Do you like fantasy stories? The Gita is actually just one chapter in India's greatest epic, the Mahabharata. It's an amazing story, and gives a great cultural background for Hinduism. Hindu's other epic, the Ramayana, is also lauded by many. I actually just began reading it recently.

Hindu's purest (and probably the world's longest) treatise on non-duality is the book at the very top of the bookshelf, Vasistha's Yoga. It's intense, so if you are just beginning, it's probably not the best intro to Hindu thought.

The most ancient written roots of pure Hinduism are found in the Upanishads. Eknath Eswaran's introduction and commentary are sublime.

A more modern, yet just as mystical take on Hinduism is The Autobiography of a Yogi.

One of the best and most comprehensive books on Advaita Vedanta is Yoga Vasistha (I recommend this translation). It offers extensive descriptions of Vedanta, Yoga, Samkhya, and Saiva Siddhanta, and does so in an extremely eloquent and poetic manner.

It's important to note that the main practice of Advaita Vedanta, self-inquiry, is itself worship of the Self and the means to reach the Self. Self-inquiry is also a very challenging practice, and other practices like pranayama, and yoga are advisable to prepare yourself for it. Sri Ramana taught extensively about practicing self-inquiry, and if you are looking for books specifically about practice, I recommend reading his talks and collected works.

IMO, this would be the shortcut in unveiling the occult of the Ramayana. It’s Ram’s apprenticeship with Vasishtha’s in his realization of being an avatar of Vishnu. And thus being a catalyst for turning the wheel of ages, much like the subsequent incarnation of Krishna.

In the context of Singularity I would explain TM from the perspective of the Yoga Vasistha.

"O Rama, there is no intellect, no consciousness, no mind and no individual soul (jiva). They are all imagined in Brahman."

"That consciousness which is the witness of the rise and fall of all beings – know that to be the immortal state of supreme bliss."

"The moon is one, but on agitated water it produces many reflections. Similarly, ultimate reality is one, yet it appears to be many in a mind agitated by thoughts."
