Vedantic Path to Self-Realisation – 2

This beautiful 12-day course is an introduction into the study of Vedanta, the practical path to self-realisation and liberation (moksha).  We will delve deep into the Self to find the solution to problems that the world presents to us for a path from illusion, miseries, sufferings and death to eternal happiness, bliss and freedom.

We will study the basic Vedantic introductory texts, the Tattvabodha and Attmabodha of Sri Adi Shankaracharyaji and the Gita Saaram, which summarizes the message of the Bhagavad Gita and is a powerful Vedantic pillar.

Tattva Bodha literally means the knowledge of truth, the real and permanent by discriminating from unreal or impermanent. As we study the Tattva Bodha [a consciousness to distinguish between the material and spiritual dimensions of our life] we will reflect on applying this wisdom practically into our lives.

The Attma Bodha consolidates the doctrine of Advaita Vedanta which shares roots with Sage Patanjali’s Yoga, we would try to sail our life boat in the Holy-river of self-knowledge and build a strong awareness of Atman.

After having a clear conviction, the core power of our life and existence – the self, we will study the Gita Saaram that posits the existence of Atman in all beings and discuss the principles of Karma as a philosophy to understand that every thought, word and action – our karma results in some outcome in our life and creates a modulation on our citta as a storehouse of all past impressions.

To understand clearly the impact of the combination of our material life and spiritual journey, this three-dimensional course becomes very important for everyone who is seeking eternal happiness, bliss and freedom.

Each day begins with yoga and yagna; includes meditation by the holy banks of Mother Ganga, morning walks, and, ends with the world-renowned Ganga Aarti on the holy banks of Ma Ganga in the sacred lap of the majestic Himalayas followed by the spiritual Satsang with Pujya Sadhviji and / or Darshan with Pujya Swamiji [when they are available] providing a beautiful immersive experience of the sacred
wisdom of Vedantic teachings.
