SUMMARY:2025 Memorial Day Weekend Vedanta Course
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online \nCOURSE BOOKLET \nTOPICS AND TEACHERS:\n \nBhagavad Gītā\, verse 9.29 with Swamini Paraprajnananda \nSādhana-Pañcakam with Swami Sachidananda \nREGISTRATION (for in-person participation):\nTo register online\, click HERE\nAny questions? Contact Karthik (avg.karthikr@gmail.com) \nVIEW ONLINE:\nClick here for YouTube Playlist \nDESCRIPTION:\nBhagavad Gitã\, verse 9.29\nIn this verse\, Bhagavan points out His presence in all beings as the same limitless Ishvara\, because the self of everyone is none other than Bhagavăn himself. The Lord therefore has no favorites\, nor does he dislike anyone or anything. Those who seek this oneness with devotion find themselves in the Lord and the Lord in themselves. \nSadhana-Pañcakam\nSadhana-Pañcakam is a text written by Sri Adi Sankaracarya and consists of five verses. These five verses deal with the series of disciplines to be followed by every human being. A series of disciplines are prescribed\, keeping two ends in mind – the first is to discover the goal of human life\, and the second is the accomplishment of the human goal. In this way\, the scriptural scheme of life is presented nicely by Sankaracarya in five compact and beautiful verses. \nSCHEDULE:\nAll times are Eastern Time (ET\, UTC-4) \nFriday\, May 23\, 2025\n8:00-9:00 pm ET  Course Orientation and Introductory Satsang \nSaturday/Sunday\, May 24/25\n7:00-7:30 am Guided Meditation with Swami Sachidanandaji\n9:00-10:00 am Bhagavad Gita 9.29 with Swamini Paraprajnanandaji\n11:00am-12:00pm Sadhana Panchakam with Swami Sachidanandaji\n4:30-5:30 pm Bhagavad Gita 9.29 with Swamini Paraprajnanandaji\n8:00-9:00 pm Satsang Q&A (teacher TBA) \nMonday\, May 26\n7:00-7:30 am Guided Meditation with Swami Sachidanandaji\n9:00-10:00 am Sadhana Panchakam with Swami Sachidanandaji\n11:00am-12:00pm Bhagavad Gita 9.29 with Swamini Paraprajnanandaji \nArsha Vidya Gurukulam\n651 Route 115\nSaylorsburg\, Pennsylvania

It is framed by a dialogue between Sage Yajñavalkya and King Janaka in which Janaka begins by asking\, “What serves as the light for a person?” The resulting discussion gradually increases in subtlety as Yajñavalkya discusses the three states of waking\, dream\, and deep sleep\, and how the light of consciousness manifests in each state. Adi Shankara’s bhashyam here is a masterpiece. \nKena Upanishad with Bhashyam\nLike all upanishads\, Kena Upanishad is in the form of a dialog between teacher and student. Neither is named here\, and therefore the name of the text is taken from the first question: kena isitam patati presitam manah?” Willed by whom or in whose presence does the mind land upon its objects?” This question sets the stage for an exploration of the witnessing consciousness behind the mind\, which is famously referred to as the “eye of the eye” and the “ear of the ear.” Swami Muktatmananda will be unfolding this upanishad based upon the commentary of Sri Adi Shankaracharya.\n \nCOURSE SCHEDULE:\nAll times are Eastern Time (ET) \nWednesday\, July 9\n8:00-9:00 pm Orientation and Satsang with Swami Muktatmananda \nThursday\, July 10\n9:15-10:15 am Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n11:00am-12:00pm Guru Purnima Puja and talks on YouTube\n5:30-6:30 pm Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji \nFriday\, July 11\n9:15-10:15 am Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n11:15am-12:15pm Kena Upanishad with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n5:30-6:30 pm Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n \nSaturday/Sunday ~ July 12/13\n9:15-10:15 am Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n11:15am-12:15pm Kena Upanishad with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n5:30-6:30 pm Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji \nMonday\, July 14\n9:15-10:15 am Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n11:15am-12:15pm Kena Upanishad with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n5:30-6:30 pm Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n8:00-9:00 pm Satsang Q&A with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji \nTuesday\, July 15\n9:15-10:15 am Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n11:15am-12:15pm Kena Upanishad with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n5:30-6:30 pm Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n8:00-9:00 pm Satsang Q&A with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji \nWednesday\, July 16\n7:15-8:15 am Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n11:15am-12:15pm Kena Upanishad with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n5:30-6:30 pm Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji \nThurs/Fri\, July 17/18\n9:15-10:15 am Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n11:15am-12:15pm Kena Upanishad with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n5:30-6:30 pm Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji \nSaturday/Sunday ~ July 19/20\n9:15-10:15 am Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n11:15am-12:15pm Kena Upanishad with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n5:30-6:30 pm Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji \nMonday\, July 21\n9:15-10:15 am Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n4:00-5:00pm Kena Upanishad with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n5:30-6:30 pm Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n8:00-9:00 pm Satsang Q&A with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji \nTuesday\, July 22\n9:15-10:15 am Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n11:15am-12:15pm Kena Upanishad with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n5:30-6:30 pm Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n8:00-9:00 pm Satsang Q&A with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji \nWednesday\, July 23\n9:15-10:15 am Kena Upanishad with Swami Muktatmanandaji\n11:00am-12:00pm Brihadaranyaka Upanishad with Swami Sakshatkrtanandaji\n12:00pm Gurudakshina \nLOCATION:\nArsha Vidya Gurukulam\n651 Route 115\nSaylorsburg\, Pennsylvania

SUMMARY:2025 Family Vedanta Course 1
DESCRIPTION:In-Person Only (no live streaming) \nTOPICS and TEACHERS: \n“Where is happiness?” with Swami Sakshatkrtananda\nThe second chapter of Taittiriya Upanishad\, called the brahmanandavalli\, includes a fascinating analysis of the degrees of experienced or reflected happiness\, starting with human happiness and extending up to the happiness enjoyed by Brahmaji\, the creator.

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.

These profound verses are said to be a young boy’s response to Shankaracharya’s question “Who are you?” upon their first meeting. The reply revealed that the nature of the self as unfolded in the Upanishads was indeed the boy’s own living reality. He was therefore given the name Hastamalaka\, meaning one whose vision of the truth is seen as clearly as a piece of fruit in the palm of one’s hand. This vision shines clearly through these verses. \nSCHEDULE:\nAll times are Eastern Time (ET\, UTC-4) \nWednesday\, October 1\n8:00 pm Orientation and Satsang \nThursday/Friday\, October 2/3\n7:00 – 7:30 am ET Meditation\n9:30 – 11 am Hastamalakiyam Class\n4:00 – 5:30 pm Hastamalakiyam Class\n8:00 – 9:00 pm Satsang Q&A \nSaturday\, October 4\nNo meditation or morning class\n(8:00 am Departure to Arsha Bodha and return to Arsha Vidya for lunch)\n4:00 – 5:30 pm Hastamalakiyam Class\n8:00 – 9:00 pm Satsang Q&A \nSunday\, October 5 – Tentative Schedule\n7:00 – 8:00 am Hastamalakiyam Class\n8:45 – 9:45 am (or 9:00 – 10:00 am) Hastamalakiyam Class followed by Gurudakshina \nArsha Vidya Gurukulam\n651 Route 115\nSaylorsburg\, Pennsylvania

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
