These classes will not be recorded or live-streamed.\n\nVedanta-sara\, topics 1 – 8 with Swami Muktatmananda\nThe text known as Vedanta-sara\, authored by Sri Sadãnanda Yogindra Sarasvati\, is a very popular introductory text of Vedanta.\nIn 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.\nSwamiji will begin the text in this course with the first eight topics.\n\n\nVedanta-sara Text\nREGISTRATION:\nFor in-person participation\, register online HERE.\nor write to avg.karthikr@gmail.com \nThis course will not be available online. \nSCHEDULE: \nAll Times Are Eastern Time ET (UTC-4) \nSaturday\, August 2\, 2025\n8:00-8:15pm Orientation with Karthik Ramagopal\n8:15-9:00pm Satsang Q&A \nSunday\, August 3\n8:30-9:30 am Sadhana-dvayam with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n4:00-5:00 pm Vedanta-sara with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n5:30-6:30pm Sadhana-dvayam with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji \nMonday-Thursday\, August 4 – 7\n9:15-10:15am Sadhana-dvayam with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n11:15am-12:15pm Vedanta-sara with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n5:30-6:30pm Sadhana-dvayam with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n8:00-9:00pm Satsang Q&A (Monday and Tuesday only)\n8:00-9:00pm THURSDAY ONLY: Youth Presentation Program \nFriday\, August 8\n9:15-10:15am Vedanta-sara with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n11:00am-12:00pm Sadhana-dvayam with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n12:00pm Gurudakshina

Contact avg.karthikr@gmail.com \nDESCRIPTION: \nDṛg-Dṛśya-Viveka\nwith Swami Tattvavidananda\nThe famous text of Dṛg-Dṛśya-Viveka is an inquiry into the truth of the seer\, dṛg\, and the seen\, dṛśya. Because of identification with the body and mind\, the infinite self appears to assume their limitations and get caught in the web of saṁsāra. The only way out is through viveka\, the ability to clearly discern between the changing and the unchanging. Swamiji will unfold the means for developing this viveka and thereby gaining freedom. This is a continuation of last year’s course. \nFreedom from Mortality\nwith Swami Muktatmananda\n \nTENTATIVE SCHEDULE:\n \nAll times are Eastern Time ET (UTC-4) \nFriday\, August 29\, 2025\n7:30 pm ET Orientation and Satsang with Karthik Ramagopal (GM) and Swami Tattvavidanandaji \nSaturday\, August 30\n7:00-8:15 am ET Guided Meditation and Dṛg-Dṛśya-Viveka with Swami Tattvavidanandaji\n10:00-11:00 am Freedom from Mortality with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n4:00-5:00 pm Dṛg-Dṛśya-Viveka with Swami Tattvavidanandaji\n7:30-8:30 pm Satsang Q&A \nSunday\, August 31\n7:00-8:15 am ET Guided Meditation and Dṛg-Dṛśya-Viveka with Swami Tattvavidanandaji\n10:00-11:00 am Freedom from Mortality with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n4:00-5:00 pm Dṛg-Dṛśya-Viveka with Swami Tattvavidanandaji\n7:30-8:30 pm Satsang Q&A with Swami Tattvavidanandaji\n8:30-9:15 pm Youth Learning Presentation (in person only) \nMonday\, September 1\n7:00-7:30 am ET Guided Meditation with Swami Tattvavidanandaji\n9:00-10:00 amFreedom from Mortality with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n11:00am-12:00pm Dṛg-Dṛśya-Viveka with Swami Tattvavidanandaji\n12:00 pm Guru Dakshina

SUMMARY:2025 Thanksgiving Family Vedanta Camp
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online \n\n\nTOPICS:\nHinduism and Religious Life with Swami Muktatmananda \nPujya Swamiji used to say that “the religious person is the core person.” All relationships in life are ultimately temporary; the only permanent relationship one has is with the Iśvara. This relationship between the individual and the whole lies at the heart of Hinduism. In this course\, Swamiji will discuss the defining aspects of religious expression found in Hinduism\, and how they relate to this foundational relationship. \nNididhyāsana with Swami Sachidananda\nCorrect your orientation and situate yourself in the truth. \nThese sessions will focus on enabling students of Vedanta to internalize the teachings in the light of the text Dasha-Shloki of Adi Shankarācārya. \n\n\n\nREGISTRATION:\nClick HERE to register for in-person participation.\nOR\nContact Karthik Ramagopal at avg.karthikr@gmail.com \n\n\nONLINE VIEWING: CLICK HERE \n\n\nSCHEDULE: \n\nAll times are Eastern Time (ET/UTC-5) \n\n\nThursday\, Nov 27\n8:00-9:00 pm Orientation and Introductory Satsang \n\n\nFriday\, Nov 28\n7:00-7:30 am Guided Meditation with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n9:00-10:00 am Hinduism and Religious Life with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n11:00am-12:00pm Nididhyāsana with Swami Sachidanandaji\n4:30-5:30 pm Hinduism and Religious Life with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n7:30-8:30 pm Satsang (Q&A) with Swami Muktatmanandaji \n\n\nSaturday\, Nov 29\n7:00-7:30 am Guided Meditation with Swami Sachidanandaji\n9:00-10:00 am Hinduism and Religious Life with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n11:00am-12:00pm Nididhyāsana with Swami Sachidanandaji\n4:30-5:30 pm Nididhyāsana with Swami Sachidanandaji\n7:30-8:30 pm Satsang (Q&A) with Swami Sachidanandaji \n\n\nSunday\, Nov 30\n7:00-7:30 am Guided Meditation with Swami Sachidanandaji\n8:30-9:30 am Nididhyāsana with Swami Sachidanandaji\n10:00-11:00 am Hinduism and Religious Life with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n11:00 am Gurudakshina \n\n\nArsha Vidya Gurukulam\nMain Lecture Hall\n651 Route 115\nSaylorsburg\, Pennsylvania

SUMMARY:2025 Year-End Family Vedanta Course
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online \nCourse Booklet \nTOPICS: \nThe Significance of OM in Vedanta with Swami Muktatmananda \nThe sacred syllable OM lies at the heart of the teaching. All mantras and all prayers can ultimately be reduced to this single syllable\, which the Veda has loaded with meaning to signify all that is: the three worlds\, the three bodies\, the three states of experience\, and their basis\, Brahman. As Lord Yama declares in the Katha Upanișad:\n“This syllable alone is indeed the saguna Brahman and it alone is the nirguna Brahman.”\nSwamiji will unfold the different ways in which this all-encompassing sound represents Brahman\, that which pervades and sustains the universe. \nVedanta and Meditation with Swami Sachidananda\nDiscover the Inner Sanctuary through Meditation \nEnquire deeply into reality and internalize the teachings through meditation. Through meditation sessions\, scriptural wisdom from Vedanta\, and introspective practices\, you will gain clarity\, peace\, and a profound understanding of your true nature. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced student of Vedanta\, this retreat provides the perfect opportunity for deep enquiry\, relaxation\, rejuvenation\, and a paradigm shift in how you engage with life. \nREGISTRATION:\nClick HERE to register for in-person participation.\nOR\nContact Karthik Ramagopal at avg.karthikr@gmail.com \nVIEW ON YOUTUBE \nCOURSE SCHEDULE\nAll times are Eastern Time (UTC-5) \nWednesday\, December 24\n8:00-9:00 pm – Orientation and Introductory Satsang. \nThursday\, December 25 | Saturday\, December 27 | Monday\, December 29\n7:00-7:30 am Guided Meditation with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n9:00-10:00 am: The Significance of OM in Vedanta with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n11:00-12:00 pm: Vedanta and Meditation with Swami Sachidanandaji\n4:30-5:30 pm: The Significance of OM in Vedanta with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n7:30-8:30 pm: Satsang (Q&A) with Swami Muktatmanandaji \nFriday\, December 26 | Sunday\, December 28 | Tuesday\, December 30\n7:00-7:30 am: Guided Meditation with Swami Sachidanandaji\n9:00-10:00 am: The Significance of OM in Vedanta with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n11:00-12:00pm: Vedanta and Meditation with Swami Sachidanandaji\n4:30-5:30 pm: Vedanta and Meditation with Swami Sachidanandaji\n7:30-8:30 pm Satsang (Q&A) with Swami Sachidanandaji \nWednesday\, December 31\n7:00-7:30 am: Guided Meditation with Swami Sachidanandaji\n8:30-9:30 am: Vedanta and Meditation with Swami Sachidanandaji\n10:00-11:00 am: The Significance of OM in Vedanta with Swami Muktatmanandaji followed by Gurudakshina \n  \n

SUMMARY:Drg Drishya Viveka with Sri Vijay Kapoor 2026
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online \nTEACHER: Sri Vijay Kapoor \nTOPIC:\nDrg Drishya Viveka\nThe famous text of Drg-Drishya-Viveka is an inquiry into the truth of the seer\, drk\, and the seen\, drishya. Because of identification with the body and mind\, the infinite self appears to assume their limitations and get caught in the web of samsara. The only way out is through viveka\, the ability to clearly discern between the changing and the unchanging. Sri Vijay Kapoor will unfold the means for achieving this viveka and thereby gaining freedom. \nREGISTRATION (for in-person participation):\nOnline Registration\nor contact Karthik Ramagopal at avg.karthikr@gmail.com \nVIEW ONLINE:\nYouTube Link \nSCHEDULE:\nALL TIMES ARE EASTERN TIME (ET\, UTC-4) \n\nArsha Vidya Gurukulam\n651 Route 115\nSaylorsburg\, Pennsylvania
