2026 Easter Weekend Vedanta Course with Swami Muktatmananda
2026-04-03 20:00 - 2026-04-05 12:30
In-Person and Online
TOPIC: Silence In Spite of Thoughts
TEACHER: Swami Muktatmananda
The normal process of thinking is a chain of many and varied thoughts. We get carried away on the thoughts and find ourselves caught in a superficial, reactive, and mechanical form of thinking. Our scriptures discuss a way in which you can have many thoughts but, at the same time, discover the silence between the thoughts.
In this retreat, Swamiji will lead sessions that combine meditation, teaching, and practice time to enable attendees to develop the knack of being with yourself, the silence in spite of thoughts.

Drg Drishya Viveka with Sri Vijay Kapoor 2026
2026-05-03 20:00 - 2026-05-09 12:00
In-Person and Online
TEACHER: Sri Vijay Kapoor
TOPIC:
Drg Drishya Viveka
The 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.
