Lectures on Yoga and Vedanta given at the Boston Vedanta Society.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.According to Vedanta, God is infinite existence, infinite consciousness, and infinite bliss. The term for this impersonal, transcendent reality is Brahman, the divine ground of being. Yet Vedanta also maintains that God can be personal as well, assuming human form in every age.Vedanta further asserts that the goal of human life is to realize and manifest our divinity. Not only is this possible, it is inevitable. Our real nature is divine; God-realization is our birthright.Finally, Vedanta affirms that all religions teach the same basic truths about God, the world, and our relationship to one another. more

Swami Tattwamayananda's exposition of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras was given at the Vedanta Society of Northern California, San Francisco (founded by Swami Vivekananda in 1900) from October 10, 2014 to December 21, 2018 in a series of 111 lectures. These lectures include a mixture of philosophy both Eastern and Western, history, psychology, comparative theology, mysticism, classical parables, and simple everyday examples. Patanjali was a great Indian sage who wrote major treatises on Ayurveda, Sanskrit grammar and Yoga. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali contain 195 sutras organized into four chapters. It gives a complete analysis of the mental system, how to transcend mental conflicts by linking the mind to a transcendental spiritual reality and how to become established in our true nature. The classes are given from the viewpoint of Vedanta, one of the oldest philosophies of the world, which constitute the universal spiritual essence of the Vedas, the foundational scriptures of Hinduism. During the exposition, the Swami has drawn extensively from authentic Sanskrit commentaries and interpretative works like 'Yoga-Bhasya' of Vyasa, 'Tattwa-Vaisharadi' of Vachaspati Mishra, 'Yoga-Varttika' of Vijnana Bhikshu, 'Raja-Martanda' of Bhoja Raja, 'Yoga-Sudhakara' of Sadashivendra Saraswati, with occasional references from 'Yoga-Maniprabha' of Ramananda Yati, 'Patanjala-Yogashastra-Vivarana' of Sri Shankara, and interpretations of Yoga-aphorisms by Swami Vivekananda and Swami Hariharananda Aranya.'By the Vedas no books are meant. They mean the accumulated treasury of spiritual laws discovered by different persons in different times.' 'The moral, ethical, and spiritual relations between soul and soul and between individual spirits and the Father of all spirits, were there before their discovery, and would remain even if we forgot them.' (Paper on Hinduism, Swami Vivekananda, World's Parliament of Religions 1893)According to this series of classes, the Yoga system of Patanjali reaches its ultimate fulfillment in the conclusions of Vedanta, that there is one all-pervading, immanent, eternal spiritual reality, which is our own true nature. In the original text of Patanjali the order is 1. Samadhipada 2. Sadhanapada 3. Vibhutipada 4. Kaivalyapada. But in this exposition of the Yoga-sutra the speaker has followed a different order, which seems to be more logical from the standpoint of actual Yoga-sadhana, i.e., 1. Sadhanapada 2. Vibhutipada 3. Samadhipada 4. Kaivalyapada. To help beginners in the study of Yoga philosophy, the basic definitions from the first few aphorisms of Samadhipada are explained at the beginning.For more:Web: www.sfvedanta.orgLivestream: https://livestream.com/sfvedantaFacebook: www.facebook.com/sfvedantaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/SFVedantaAll Original Content © Vedanta Society of Northern California more

Spiritual Teachings of Ancient India by Swami Tadatmananda resident Teacher

Spiritual Teachings of Ancient India by Swami Tadatmananda resident Teacher

The Sri Rudram is one of the holiest chants in the Veda. It expounds a sophisticated understanding of God, Īśvara as immanent and transcendental . All that is here in the universe is non-separate from its cause —Īśvara. Everything that is present and everything that comes to light borrows its presence and sentience from Īśvara. The air that we breathe, the sun that lights up the sky, the cool light of the moon, are all manifestations of Īśvara. The entire universe is nothing but Īśvara, but Īśvara, being limitless is not any one thing in universe. Understanding Īśvara in this manner, it is easy to see that Īśvara pervades everything including one's own body-mind-sense complex. One is never away from Īśvara —in fact, one is Īśvara. Listening to this meaning of this hymn reduces and eliminates the sense of alienation and disconnection that one feels from the Universe, from one's fellow-beings, and from Īśvara. This oneness is the essence of the vision of Vedanta, gaining which one is free from saṃsāra manifest as sorrow and fear. more

Swami Tattwamayananda's exposition of the Mandukya Upanishad with Karika was given at the Vedanta Society of Northern California, San Francisco (founded by Swami Vivekananda in 1900) from April 13, 2012, to December 20, 2013, in a series of 44 lectures. The Mandukya Upanisad belongs to the Atharva Veda tradition and consists of 12 mantras. According to many modern scholars, it is the first systematic treatise on the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta. The Mandukya Karika is a commentary in 215 metrical verses by Gaudapada Acharya who is the first well-known exponent of the doctrine of non-origination Ajātivāda (अजातिवाद). He is supposed to have lived around the 6th century A.D, about 150 years before Sri Shankaracharya. Sri Shankaracharya's (788-820 CE) commentary on Mandukya Karika establishes the superstructure of Advaita philosophy, the philosophy of Non-Dualism. Before Sri Shankaracharya, the idea of Advaita or nondualistic philosophy existed because it is as old as Rig Veda itself, but the formulation of a complete and compact philosophical structure, expounding its metaphysics, ontology, cosmology, logic, and epistemology, was entirely his contribution.Swami Tattwamayananda, currently the Minister of the Vedanta Society of Northern California, San Francisco, (originally founded by Swami Vivekananda in 1900) served in various centers of the Ramakrishna Order in India as editor, publisher, and teacher of Sanskrit, Advaitic texts such as Sri Shankaracharya's commentaries on the 'Prasthanatraya' (the fundamental Sanskrit texts of Vedanta philosophy), Buddhism and Indian philosophy. He underwent traditional training in Hindu scriptures, Sanskrit, Vedic and Vedantic literature for many years, from his early days. Before coming to the United States in January 2012 he was teaching Sanskrit, Vedantic scriptures and Indian philosophy at the Training center in Belur Math, the institution that trains the monks of the Ramakrishna Order at the headquarters of the Ramakrishna Mission, Kolkata, India.

Book a free 30-minute call to feel into what's aligned. www.terrencestephens.com Terrence's journey is not just a narrative of challenges but also a testament to resilience and transformation. Despite facing profound adversities like childhood abuse, addiction, and mental health struggles, he embarked on a quest for inner peace and understanding. His encounter with Sailor Bob Adamson, who had himself delved into the teachings of Nisargadatta Maharaj, marked a pivotal moment. It's where the seeds of non-duality took root in Terrence's life, offering a path beyond the limitations of the 'me' story and the illusion of separation. Through his experiences and learnings, Terrence not only gained insights into the nature of suffering but also discovered a profound sense of interconnectedness and wholeness. His journey serves as an inspiring example of how facing adversity can lead to profound inner growth and spiritual awakening. Terrence integrates non-duality teachings into his work as a holistic counsellor, guiding individuals towards readiness for the non-dual understanding. Through compassionate listening, insightful inquiry, and tailored tools, he assists people in cultivating the clarity, presence, and openness necessary to embrace the non-dual perspective fully. This page has been created out of love and service for those that are still searching and have decided to ventured down this Non-Dual path. I welcome you and have the deepest admiration and respect for you for this is not for the faint hearted. This is for seekers of truth, and the courage it takes to truly look is second to none. What is initially discussed is duality and what that means and implies. An absolute necessity because we believe we live in a world of duality and non duality implies something radically different. Something outside the scope of duality, like trying to understand what is outside of space. So what i will be attempting to do is to point to the truth of your real nature. It is however up to you to look for yourself, no one can do that for you. Terrence Stephens If you're interested in non dual teachers such as Sailor Bob Adamson, Nisargadatta, Ramana Maharshi, Ramesh Balsekar, Francis Lucille, Rupert Spira, Eckhart Tolle, Lisa Cairn, Tony Parsons, Jim Newman, Robert Wolf, Jean Klein, Paul Hedderman, Scott Kiloby or Loch Kelly to name a few and you're interested in non duality realisation or awakening, then take a listen to Terrence Stephens and visit https://www.terrencestephens.com/ For more information or to join us for weekly online Satsangs go to www.terrencestephens.com more

Indian Philosophy, spanning over more than six thousand years, represents a unique intellectual, cultural and spiritual heritage of human civilization. It is not only 'love of learning' (as philosophy is usually defined) or just an intellectual journey in search of the highest truths of life and existence, but it is also a quest for their practical realization in our everyday life. The different schools of Indian philosophy were established by great preceptors from time immemorial to enable their students to manifest the highest ethical and spiritual values in their lives.In interpreting the doctrines of particular schools of thought I have attempted to keep in touch with their respective foundational texts in Sanskrit or, in dealing with the Buddhist schools, with the texts in Pali.In phase 1 we will be discussing the different schools of Vedanta (one of the 'Āstika Darśana's) beginning with Advaita, to be followed by the schools of Ramanuja, Madhva, Vallabha, Nimbarka, Baladeva, and others.Please continue to monitor our website for the latest information, and please email temple@sfvedanta.org for any inquiries.Vedanta Society of Northern CaliforniaPodcast: https://sfvedanta.org/podcast/Email: temple@sfvedanta.org https://www.youtube.com/user/sfvedantahttps://www.facebook.com/sfvedantaWebsite: https://sfvedanta.org/ more

These lectures on the topic of 'Viveka-chudamani'- The Crest-Jewel of Wisdom of Sri Shankaracharya were delivered by Swami Tattwamayananda at the Lake Tahoe Retreat of the Vedanta Society of Northern California (founded by Swami Vivekananda in 1900) on July 14 - 22, 2018. Introduction to 'Viveka-chudamani' - The Crest-Jewel of Spiritual WisdomSri Shankaracharya holds a pre-eminent position among the world's master-minds and spiritual teachers. 'Viveka-chudamani' is one of his introductory treatises (traditionally called 'prakarana-granthas') on Advaita Vedanta and is usually studied and memorized by students who learn Advaita Vedanta according to our old orthodox tradition. Being an original work of Sri Shankara's genius in 581 verses, the wonderful book contains a lucid and poetic exposition of the basic tenets of Advaita Vedanta in the form of a lively dialogue between the Guru and the Sishya (disciple) culminating in the highest Advaitic experience of the disciple. The book deals with topics like the value of human birth ( verses: 2,3,4,), qualifications of the disciple and of an ideal teacher (34, 35), the important disciplines to be practiced (16-19), the seven fundamental questions and their answers dealing with subjects like bondage, liberation, Atman, etc. (51), the instruction of the Upanishad Mahavakya `TATTWAMASI' (तत्त्वमसि) (242-253), etc. Sri Shankaracharya's work, though a masterly philosophical classic, has a unique practical approach, dynamism, and movement that will not fail to sustain the interest of a serious student of Advaita Vedanta from the beginning to the end.Before Sri Shankaracharya, the idea of Advaita or Non-Dualistic philosophy existed because it is as old as the Rig Veda itself, but the formulation of a complete and compact philosophical structure, expounding its metaphysics, ontology, cosmology, logic, and epistemology was entirely his contribution.Considered to be an important preparatory text that should be studied and memorized before one steps into the more difficult works like the bhashyas on the 'Prasthanatraya', 'Viveka-chudamani' is lucid, simple and exhaustive in its treatment of the fundamental doctrines of Advaita Vedanta.(The verse numbers indicated in these lecture-series may vary from some other versions of the text).Swami Tattwamayananda, currently the Minister of the Vedanta Society of Northern California, San Francisco, (originally founded by Swami Vivekananda in 1900) served in various centers of the Ramakrishna Order in India as editor, publisher, and teacher of Sanskrit, Advaitic texts such as Sri Shankaracharya's commentaries on the 'Prasthanatraya' (the fundamental Sanskrit texts of Vedanta philosophy), Buddhism and Indian philosophy. He underwent traditional training in Hindu scriptures, Sanskrit, Vedic and Vedantic literature for many years, from his early days. Before coming to the United States in January 2012 he was teaching Sanskrit, Vedantic scriptures and Indian philosophy at the Training center in Belur Math, the institution that trains the monks of the Ramakrishna Order at the headquarters of the Ramakrishna Mission, Kolkata, India. Apart from his traditional education, the Swami has also received modern University education in English literature, psychology, European history, and Western philosophy. He is frequently invited for lectures on Yoga, Vedanta, and traditional Hindu scriptures and for participating in interfaith dialogues.For more:Web: www.sfvedanta.orgLivestream: https://livestream.com/sfvedantaFacebook: www.facebook.com/sfvedantaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/SFVedantaAll Original Content © Vedanta Society of Northern California more

Swami Tattwamayananda's exposition of the TAITTIRIYA UPANISHAD was given at the Lake Tahoe Retreat run by the Vedanta Society of Northern California, San Francisco (founded by Swami Vivekananda in 1900) from July 27, 2019, to August 4, 2019, in a series of 9 lectures. The Taittiriya Upanisad comprise the 7th, 8th, and 9th chapters of the larger Taittiriya Aranyaka that belongs to the Yajur Veda tradition. The Upanishad contains 31 anuvakas (lessons): 12 in the Siksa-valli, 9 in the Ananda-valli, and 10 in the Bhrigu-valli. Sri Shankaracharya's (788-820 CE) commented on the Taittiriya Upanishad and 'the fact that he cited from it 147 times in his Brahma-Sutra-Bhashya speaks volumes for its authoritativeness.' (Sarvananda, Taittiriyopanishad 5) Before Sri Shankaracharya, the idea of Advaita or nondualistic philosophy existed because it is as old as Rig Veda itself, but the formulation of a complete and compact philosophical structure, expounding its metaphysics, ontology, cosmology, logic, and epistemology, was entirely his contribution.Swami Tattwamayananda, currently the Minister of the Vedanta Society of Northern California, San Francisco, (originally founded by Swami Vivekananda in 1900) served in various centers of the Ramakrishna Order in India as editor, publisher, and teacher of Sanskrit, Advaitic texts such as Sri Shankaracharya's commentaries on the 'Prasthanatraya' (the fundamental Sanskrit texts of Vedanta philosophy), Buddhism and Indian philosophy.

The Inner Citadel is where the search ends.For thousands of years, the sages of India pointed to one truth — that what you are seeking, you already are.This podcast explores that truth through long-form inquiry into the teachings of Advaita Vedanta, the Upanishads, and masters like Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta Maharaj, and Krishnamurti.Each episode is not a lesson to be learned but an invitation to look — at fear, identity, attention, and the nature of the self — with honesty and without conclusion.Not motivation. Direct inquiry. more

Aparokṣānubhūti is a compound consisting of aparokṣa ('perceptible') and anubhūti (अनुभूति)('knowledge'), meaning 'direct cognition' or 'direct experience of the Absolute.'Aparokshanubhuti reveals profound insights into the nature of reality, highlighting the illusory nature of the world and the individual self's true identity as part of the Universal Self. The Aparokshanubhuti is a work attributed to Adi Shankara It is a popular introductory work that expounds Advaita Vedanta philosophy. In Advaita Vedanta, it refers to the realization of the identity of the individual self (Atman) with the ultimate reality (Brahman). This realization is not an intellectual understanding but a direct, experiential awareness. This experience is not based on inference or reasoning but on a direct, intuitive understanding that goes beyond the limitations of ordinary perception.  more

The Vedantist: Framework for the Ultimate RealityHumanity is exhausted. Across eight billion lives, we are universally united by a silent struggle against the noise, complexity, and crushing demands of modern existence. For centuries, the ultimate solution to this struggle—the truth of Advaita Vedanta—has been locked behind Sanskrit terminology and secluded traditional discourses.The Vedantist bridges that critical gap between ancient spiritual science and the reality of your daily life. more

The Panchadasi , written by Swami Vidyaranya, is a foundational text of Advaita Vedanta that systematically explains the nature of ultimate reality ( Brahman ), the individual self ( Atman ), and the illusory world ( Maya ). Divided into 15 chapters, it explores the discrimination of reality, the illumination of truth through meditation, and the bliss that arises from Self-realization. Combining philosophy, logic, and spiritual practice, the text serves as a guide for seekers to understand and experience the unity of the self with the infinite Brahman, leading to liberation ( moksha ). more

Dṛg-Dṛśya-Viveka is a text in Advaita Vedanta philosophy that explores the distinction between the 'seer' (Dṛg) and the 'seen' (Dṛśya). It is attributed to Bharatī Tīrtha or Vidyaranya Swami, who lived around 1350. The text contains 46 slokas and also provides an overview of samadhi, centering on savikalpa and nirvikalpa, and the identity of Atman and Brahman. more

The Mandukya Upanishad is an important Upanishad, particularly to its Advaita Vedanta school. It succinctly presents several central doctrines, namely that 'the universe is Brahman,' 'the Self (Atma) exists and is Brahman,' and 'the four states of consciousness'. The Mandukya Upanishad, the shortest of all, also presents several theories about the syllable Aum, and that it symbolizes self. It is in prose, consisting of twelve short verses, and is associated with a Rig Vedic school of scholars and is assigned to Atharvaveda.One of the first known extant metrical commentary on this Upanishad was written by Gaudapada, This commentary, called the Māndūkya-kārikā, is the earliest known systematic exposition of Advaita Vedanta. Adi Shankara, a disciple of Govinda Bhagavatpada who himself was either a direct disciple of Gaudapada, further made commentaries on Gaudapada Mandukya karika, Mandukya Upanishad forms one of the basis of Advaita Vedanta as expounded by Adi Shankara. more

An Introduction to ' Drg-Drsya-Viveka ' Sri Shankaracharya holds a pre-eminent position among the world's master-minds and spiritual teachers. 'Drg-Drsya-Viveka' is one of the great Acharya's introductory treatises (traditionally called 'prakarana-granthas') on Advaita Vedanta which teaches the identity and oneness of the individual Jiva and Paramatman. This small but important book of forty-six verses describes not only different forms of samadhi but also, more importantly, expounds some of the basic doctrines of Advaita Vedanta following a method known as 'Anvaya-vyatireka' (?????????????). Some of these verses are also found in one of the minor Upanishads called 'Sarasvati- Upanishad'. There are different views regarding the authorship of 'Drg-Drsya-Viveka' though the majority of scholars agree that Adi Shankaracharya himself is the author. Other names associated with the authorship of the work are Bharati Tirtha and Vidyaranya, the author of 'Panchadasi'. The two well-known commentaries on 'Drg-Drsya-Viveka' are those of Brahmananda Bharati and Ananda Jnana also called Ananda Tirtha.These eight lectures were given by Swami Tattwamayananda at the Vedanta Society of Calgary on August 18th and 19th, 2018.

The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (Sanskrit: बृहदारण्यकोपनिषद्, IAST: Bṛhadāraṇyakopaniṣad) is one of the Principal Upanishads and one of the first Upanishadic scriptures of Hinduism. A key scripture to various schools of Hinduism, the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad is tenth in the Muktikā or 'canon of 108 Upanishads'.Brihadaranyaka literally means 'great wilderness or forest'. The Upanishad forms the last part, that is the fourteenth kānda of Śatapatha Brāhmana of 'Śhukla Yajurveda'. The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad has six adhyayas (chapters) in total. It includes three sections: Madhu kānda (the 4th and 5th chapter of the fourteenth kānda of Satapatha Brahmana), Muni kānda (or Yajnavalkya Kanda, the 6th and 7th chapter of 14th kānda of Satapatha Brahmana) and Khila kānda (the 8th and 9th chapter of the fourteenth kānda of Satapatha Brahmana).The first and second chapters of the Upanishad's Madhu kānda consists of six brahmanas each, with varying number of hymns per brahmana. The first chapter of the Upanishad's Yajnavalkya kānda consists of nine brahmanams, while the second has six brahmanas. The Khila kānda of the Upanishad has fifteen brahmanas in its first chapter, and five brahmanas in the second chapter.In the fourth brahmana of the Second chapter of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, Yajnavalkya and his wife Maitreyi engage in a dialogue about love and spirituality. Yajnavalkya states that one doesn't connect with and love forms, nor does one connect or love mind, rather one connects with the Self, the Self of one's own and one's beloved. All love is for the sake of one's Self, and the Oneness one realizes in the Self of the beloved. He then asserts that this knowledge of the Self, the Self, and Brahman is what makes one immortal, and the connection is also immortal. All longing is the longing for the Self, as the Self represents the true, the immortal, the real, and infinite bliss.Reference material:- Book: https://a.co/d/iQqKCWM- PDF of the entire Upanishad can be found https://dn790002.ca.archive.org/0/items/BrahadaranyakaUpanishad-ShankaraBhashya-English-SwamiMadhavaananda/BrahadaranyakaUpanishad-Madhavaananda.pdf. more

The Vedanta Philosophy is a science dealing with human beings. An encyclopedia containing subtle Transcendental thoughts rendered by great sages of India. Such truths educate humanity on how to appropriately conduct, relate to the world with prudence. It is time to go beyond the information offered by alma maters and mushrooming educational institutions the world over. Vedanta aids one to find harmony within. Relationships at home and work then find consonance. With a peaceful mind and sharp intellect, humanity can usher themselves towards Sempiternal Truth. The Self. © 2025 Prayagraj Hule more

Sir Arthur Eddington, the British physicist, said, 'The stuff of the world is mind-stuff.' The Yoga Vasistha of the ancient Vedic literature states, 'Even as from the waking state there is no materiality in the objects seen in a dream, this world appears to be material, yet in reality it is pure consciousness.'We are not in the world; the world is within us, and the Simplest State of human awareness is that state where consciousness is open to itself--a field of all possibilities.The development of higher states of consciousness is a theme of all cultures throughout time.
