ABOUT VEDANTA
Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions.

"False is something that is actually in the mind but is projected outside" . Such simple yet clear definitions provided by Swamiji helps cement the understanding of who I really am. thank you Pujya Swamji.

[johnathanedwards]

Brahman is real, the world is an appearance, and we are Brahman. Thank you Swami Ji!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[vismayagrawal]

These chapter 2 karikas are more interesting than the Upnishad itself!
Thank you Swamiji for explaining it so clearly.

Basically this conditioned universe is a dream of consciousness which I am....just like how the mind dreams the entire universe.

[rameshkhare]

Swamiji, no words can describe your ability n oratory. We can very well imagine the scene of Lord
Krishna n Arjun in the
battlefield. Pranam.

When it comes to science and religion, it seems to me, that Ken Wilber and his Integral Theory has done a lot, to bring religion/spirituality acceptable and valid for a scientific mind.

[dibynandanath]

Why do the enlightened mahatmas differ in their experience/realisation?

[sumanjoshi]

Is past also dream? It appeared and disappeared.
