In-Person Only (no live streaming)

TOPICS and TEACHERS:

Sadhana-dvayam with Swami Sakshatkrtananda
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krsna presents two types of sadhana, two lifestyles dedicated to gaining self-knowledge, depending upon the individual’s mindset and maturity. The two choices are karma-yoga, a life of action and engagement while maintaining a proper attitude, and jñana-yoga, a life of withdrawal and contemplation. Swamiji will unfold the qualifications and implications of each lifestyle, and show how each can help one to gain the desired goal of moksa. These classes will not be recorded or live-streamed.
Vedanta-sara, topics 1 – 8 with Swami Muktatmananda
The text known as Vedanta-sara, authored by Sri Sadãnanda Yogindra Sarasvati, is a very popular introductory text of Vedanta.
In its six chapters, it covers all the main aspects of the teaching, including the qualifications of a student, the nature of superimposition and its removal, the views of competing schools of thought, the steps to self-realization, and the characteristics of jivan-mukti, liberation while living.
Swamiji will begin the text in this course with the first eight topics.
