Vedanta Classes: Completion of Fundamentals of Vedanta and Commencement of Atma Bodha

[Satyan Chidambaran]

ओम् श्रीगुरुभ्यो नमः 🙏

HariH Om

Over a year ago, we started a weekly online class titled “Fundamentals of Vedanta” to share the introductory teachings with interested students. These classes systematically introduce topics in Vedanta as presented by the traditional teachings to provide a Bird's-eye view of Vedanta.  For those already familiar with the teachings, we dive deeper into the foundational aspects to help clarify one’s understanding and strengthen one's resolve for the pursuit, addressing possible doubts and misconceptions along the way. As part of this series, we also completed the study of the Tattva Bodha. The overall content is drawn from the teachings of Puya Swami Dayananda-ji (my Parama Guru) and Swami Paramarthananda-ji (my Guru). With Ishvara's and Guru's grace, this course has been completed recently.

For anyone interested:

1) The complete playlist with all 56 classes in the Fundamentals series (including Tattva Bodha) can be accessed at:

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-AEdGUyf5SfB2Er6pm0zZSax1Ow46j32&si=OSOEaNKADF3mEJQn

All class recordings (past and future) are/will be available on YouTube on the “Advaita-Drishti” channel at:

You are welcome to subscribe to the channel to get updates on new content.

3) We plan to commence with the study of Atma Bodha next. Atma Bodha is an important PrakaraNa grantha that presents the entire teaching of Vedanta in a simple manner with insightful examples.

If anyone is interested in joining these live classes on Sundays at 7 a.m. IST, please email satyan.ch...@advaitadrishti.org with a brief introduction about yourself and your background in Vedanta.

Namaskaram Satyan-ji,

Wonderful series for the English speaking public; it feels like a real Satsang. I heard from the first five lectures so far but hope to eventually listen to the whole series. The analysis in the fifth lecture on values and the effects of compromising truth/values is exceptional. I also liked how you answered the question on the existence of free-will at the end of that lecture. Our people's minds are "split in personality" over their allegiance to scientific opinions vs shastra pramana, so it is valuable that an acharya or teacher presents the shastra/tradition's position independently of whatever may appear the popular views today.
