SUMMARY:2026 Family Vedanta Course 1
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online \nCOURSE BOOKLET PDF \nTOPICS and TEACHERS: \n\nJourney of Jīva (Jīva-Yātrā) with Swami Sakshatkrtananda \nThe śāstra compares the life of the individual to a yātrā\, pilgrimage. In a worldly yātrā\, one travels from one’s home to reach the goal of a holy site for purposes of worship. In the vision of the Vedānta\, this pilgrimage starts from the jīva\, one’s self-perception as a limited wanting person\, and ends in Brahman\, the reality of oneself as the unlimited source of being. The text Jīva-Yātrā is a set of nine verses composed by a saint of Sringeri Math\, Swami Jnanananda Bharati. He has composed it based on the chariot imagery found in Kaṭha Upaniṣad. \n\n\nVedānta-Sāra\, topics 15 – 30 with Swami Muktatmananda \nThe text known as Vedānta-sāra\, authored by Śrī Sadānanda Yogīndra Sarasvatī\, is a very popular prakaraṇagrantha\, 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 jīvan-mukti\, liberation while living. This is a continuation of previous courses on this text. \nVedanta Sara Text \n\nREGISTRATION:\nFor in-person participation\, register online HERE.\nor write to admin@arshavidyagurukulam.org\n \nCLICK HERE TO VIEW ONLINE (for a fee) \nSCHEDULE:\nAll Times are Eastern Time (ET\, UTC-4) \nSaturday\, July 25\n8:00-9:00 pm ET- Orientation and Introductory Satsang (Q&A) \nSunday\, July 26 – Thursday\, July 30\n7:00-7:30am:  Guided Meditation\n9:00 – 10:00 am:  Jīva-Yātrā (Journey of Jiva) – Class 1\n11:00- 12:00pm:  Vedāntasāra (Section 15-30) – Class 2\n5:00-6:00pm:  Jīva-Yātrā (Journey of Jiva) – Class 3\n8:00 – 9:00 pm:  Satsang (Q&A) \nFriday\, July 31 – Retreat Concluding Day\n7:00 – 7:30 am: Guided Meditation\n9:00 – 10:00am: Vedāntasāra Class 1\n10:00-10:45am:  Rooms Checkout\n11:00-12:00pm  Jīva-Yatrā Class 2 (followed by Guru Daksina) \n

SUMMARY:2026 Family Vedanta Course 2
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online \nCOURSE BOOKLET PDF DOWNLOAD \nTOPICS and TEACHERS: \n\nPañcadaśī Chapter 1 – Tattva Viveka with Swami Sakshatkrtananda \nPañcadaśī is a great text written by Swami Vidyaranya\, one of the greatest ācāryas of the Vedānta tradition and one of the Pontiffs of Sringeri Math (1377-1386 AD). It has 15 chapters\, and the first chapter is an enquiry into tattva\, the truth of life. This masterful text provides an unparalleled analysis of the nature of the self as pure consciousness\, the nature of ignorance and its effects\, the underlying logic of the śruti\, and the stages in assimilating self-knowledge. \n\n\nBhagavad Gita 9.34 with Swami Muktatmananda \nThis verse is essentially Krishna’s concise instruction on how to orient one’s whole life toward God.\n“May you become one whose mind is committed to Me\,\nwho is devoted to Me\, who offers rituals unto Me and\nmay you surrender to Me. Having yourself prepared in\nthis way and being one for whom I am the ultimate end\,\nyou will reach Me\, the self alone.” \n\nREGISTRATION:\nFor in-person participation\, register online HERE.\nor write to admin@arshavidyagurukulam.org \nVIEW ONLINE: (for a fee) \nSCHEDULE: \nSaturday\, August 01\n8:00-9:00 pm – Orientation and Introductory Satsang (Q&A) \nSunday\, August 02 (1 Sunday AVG Gita Class)\n7:00 -7:30 am: Guided Meditation\n10:00-11.00 am Bhagavad Gita Class 1\n11:30 -12:30 pm Bhagavad Gita Class 2\n1:30-2:30 pm Q&A (Gita Satsang)\n5:00 – 6:00pm: Tattva Viveka (Panchadashi Chapter 1)\n8:00 – 9:00 pm: Satsang (Family Retreat 2 Q&A) \nMonday\, August 03 — Thursday\, August 06\n7:00-7:30am: Guided Meditation\n9:00-10:00 am: Tattva Viveka (Panchadashi Chapter 1)\n11:00-12:00pm: Man-Mana Bhava (Bhagavad Gita 9-34)\n5:00-6:00pm: Tattva Viveka (Panchadashi Chapter 1)\n8:00-9:00 pm: Satsang (Q&A) \nFriday\, August 07 — Retreat Concluding Day\n7:00 – 7:30 am: Guided Meditation\n9:00-10:00 am:Man-Mana Bhava (Bhagavad Gita 9.34)\n11:00 -12:00 pm Tattva Viveka (Panchadashi Chapter 1) followed by Guru Dakshina
