Meeting minutes of last class:
1. In the last class we started the class with Narayana suktam chanting.
2. We completed the chapter "Training of the disciple" chapter and in the upcoming class we need to start "As a wandering monk chapter".
3. In the last class there were a few nice things which Swamiji pointed out-ajnana (to see the world alone), jnana (to see the world as God), vijnana (to see the world permeated by God)
4. देहबुद्ध्या तु दासोऽस्मि जीवबुद्ध्या त्वदंशकः। आत्मबुद्ध्या त्वमेवाहमिति मे निश्चिता मतिः॥ We had a discussion about this quote as well in the last class.
5. In the Shankaracharya life history book we started the second chapter reading what an avatara is and where Shankaracharya mentions about avataras in his Prastanatraya bhashyas.
