What is Vedanta

Vedanta is a profound tradition of knowledge contained in the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Brahma Sutras and other texts. The teachings help us enquire into our true identity, the nature of the universe, and its cause. What starts as three separate pillars – myself, the universe, and its cause, upon analysis, resolve into one non-dual reality within which everything is contained.

The discovery of oneness helps us live with fullness, enthusiasm and meaning. It gives us inner space to handle situations objectively, compassionately, and pragmatically, without suffering and pain.

Live-Online Classes

You can now join our live classes held on Zoom. During these sessions, you would study texts such as Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Value of Values, or, learn Meditation and Prayer Chanting. Our live-class format offers a platform to ask questions, listen to, and participate in discussions with students from all over the world.


Retreats

Retreats are an in-house experience where you stay with the teacher and other students at ashrams, institutes, hotels, etc., for a few days. The emphasis is on the universal relevance of the wisdom of Vedanta to life in the twenty first century. During a retreat, you are immersed in the studies of texts of Vedanta. The texts are carefully chosen to cover the overall vision of Vedanta as well as its daily application. Our sessions encourage active participation, and engage students in lively interactions and constructive dialogue. Along with these studies, we conduct meditations, Tai-Chi, Vedic chanting, and an evening Q & A session. Evenings include social events where participants are encouraged to show their talents in music or dance. Retreats are a time for concentrated learning and developing meaningful connections to the Vedanta community.
