TOPICS and TEACHERS:

Pañcadaśī Chapter 1 – Tattva Viveka with Swami Sakshatkrtananda
Pañcadaśī 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.

Vedānta-Sāra, topics 31 – 45 with Swami Muktatmananda
The text known as Vedānta-sāra, authored by Śrī Sadānanda Yogīndra Sarasvatī, is a very popular prakaraṇa-grantha, 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 the previous course on this text.

TOPICS and TEACHERS:

Is Veda/Vedānta Scientific? with Swami Sakshatkrtananda
Science relies solely on perception and inference to reach its conclusions. Vedānta, however, constitutes a pramāṇa, an independent means for knowledge, that allows us to know that which is not accessible by perception and inference. Vedānta does not contradict science; rather it has a different scope. As such, Vedānta is ultimately beyond reason, but does not contradict it. In this course, Swamiji will unfold the glory of Vedānta as a pramāṇa for direct and immediate knowledge.

Vedānta-Sāra, topics 46 – 60 with Swami Muktatmananda
