SUMMARY:2026 Two-Week Bhāṣyam Course
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online \nCOURSE BOOKLET PDF \nTOPICS AND TEACHERS:\n \nMuṇḍaka Upaniṣad with bhāṣyam  ~ Swami Sakshatkrtananda\nThese classes will be virtual only until Swamiji arrives at the Gurukulam (expected by 7/15). \nKena Upaniṣad with bhāṣyam ~  Swami Muktatmananda \nREGISTRATION (for in-person participation):\nTo register online for in-person participation\, click HERE\nAny questions? Contact the office (admin@arshavidyagurukulam.org) \nCLICK HERE TO VIEW ONLINE (for a fee) \nDESCRIPTION: \nMuṇḍaka Upaniṣad with bhāṣyam :\nThis upaniṣad occupies an important place in the teaching tradition because it covers all the important topics\, besides the main topic which every upaniṣad reveals. At the beginning\, Sage Aṅgiras is asked by Śaunaka\, “What is that one thing\, knowing which everything gets known?” The sage replies that there are two types of knowledge to be gained: parā-vidyā and aparā-vidyā – knowledge of the absolute truth\, i.e.\, Brahman\, and knowledge of the world. Both the finite and apparent nature of the world must be known to develop dispassion for the world and pursue the absolute truth. Swamiji will unfold the glories of the upaniṣad with the masterful bhāṣyam of Śrī Ādi Śaṅkarācārya. \nKena Upaniṣad with bhāṣyam:\nLike all upaniṣads\, Kena Upaniṣad is in the form of a dialog between teacher and student\, and begins with a question: “kena iṣitaṃ patati preṣitaṃ manaḥ?” “Willed by whom or in whose presence does the mind land upon its objects?” There follows an exploration of the witnessing consciousness behind the mind\, as the “eye of the eye” and the “ear of the ear.” Swamiji will continue his unfolding of this upaniṣad\, which began last year. \nSCHEDULE (subject to change):\nAll Times Are Eastern Time (ET\, UTC-4) \nTuesday\, July 7 \n8:00-9:00 pm ET- Orientation and Introductory Satsang by Swami Sakshatkrutananda\nSaraswatiji (Virtual) \nWednesday\, July 8 to Monday\, July 20*\n7:15 – 7:45am: Guided Meditation by Swami Jnanananda Saraswatiji\n9:00 – 10:00am Mundaka Upanishad by Swami Sakshatkrutananda Saraswatiji\n11:00 – 12:00pm Kenopanishad by Swami Muktatmananda Saraswatiji\n5:00 – 6:00pm Mundaka Upanishad by Swami Sakshatkrutananda Saraswatiji\n8:00 – 9:00 pm: Satsang (Q&A) by Swami Sakshatkrutananda Saraswatiji & Swami\nMuktatmananda Saraswatiji (Alternating each day) \n*Special Schedule on Sunday\, July 19\n7:15 -7:45 am: Guided Meditation by Swami Jnanananda Saraswatiji\n8:30 – 9:30 am: Kenopanishad by Swami Muktatmananda Saraswatiji\n10:00 – 11:00 am: Bhagavad Gita 12.2 Class 1 by Swami Sakshatkrutananda Saraswatiji\n11:30 – 12:30 pm: Bhagavad Gita 12.2 Class 2 by Swami Sakshatkrutananda Saraswatiji\n1:30 – 2:30 pm: Satsang Q&A by Swami Sakshatkrutananda Saraswatiji\n5:00 – 6:00 pm Mundaka Upanishad by Swami Sakshatkrutananda Saraswatiji\n8:00 – 9:00 pm Satsang Q&A by Swami Muktatmananda Saraswatiji \nTuesday\, July 21 – Retreat Concluding Day \n7:15 – 7:45am: Guided Meditation by Swami Jnanananda Saraswatiji\n9:00 – 10:00am: Kenopanishad by Swami Muktatmananda Saraswatiji\n10:30-11:30am Mundaka Upanishad by Swami Sakshatkrutananda Saraswatiji\nfollowed by Guru Daksina \nLOCATION: \nArsha Vidya Gurukulam\n651 Route 115\nSaylorsburg\, Pennsylvania

SUMMARY:2026 One-Week Vedanta Course with Shri Vijay Kapoor
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online \nTOPIC: Dṛg-Dṛśya-Viveka \nTEACHER: Shri Vijay Kapoor \nREGISTRATION: (for in-person participation)\nOnline Registration Here\nor\nContact Karthik R. at avg.karthikr@gmail.com \nVIEW ON YOUTUBE HERE\n \nDESCRIPTON:\nThe famous text of Dṛg-Dṛśya-Viveka is an inquiry into the truth of the seer\, dṛk\, 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. Sri Vijay Kapoor will unfold the means for achieving this viveka and thereby gaining freedom. \nSCHEDULE:\nAll Times are Eastern Time (ET\, UTC-4) \nSunday\, May 3\n8:00 – 9:00 pm ET Orientation and Introductory Satsang\nMonday – Saturday (May 4-9)\n7:00 – 7:30 am – Guided Meditation\n9:00 – 10:00 am – Class 1\n11:00 am – 12:00 pm – Class 2\n5:00 pm – 6:00 pm – Class 3\n7:30 pm – Satsang Q&A (NO SATSANG SATURDAY MAY 9)\nSunday\, May 10\n7:00-7:30 am – Guided Meditation\n9:00-10:00 am – Concluding Class & Guru Daksina\nLOCATION:\nArsha Vidya Gurukulam\n651 Route 115\nSaylorsburg\, PA 18353
