Bhakti – The Heart of Wisdom
As we look for love in people and possessions, the weary heart collapses in the heap of unanswered questions – Will I ever be loved deeply? What/whom can I anchor myself on, when everything around me is uncertain and insecure? How can I overcome my fears?
Further doubts emerge – Since Advaita, Non-duality and Bhakti is jiva’s love for Bhagavan which rests on duality, can Advaita and Bhakti walk hand in hand? We reflect, reframe and reconnect in the light of what Narada Bhakti Sutras reveal for us.
Vedanta camp 19th – 25th February 2023
To learn Vedanta on the banks of the Ganga where many seekers and sadhus have done sadhana and gained self-knowledge is a blessing.
To return to Pujya Swami Dayananda ji’s adhishthanam and seek his grace is a double blessing.

Gita Amrtam Course
A life of connection and oneness through Self mastery and Self discovery
The Bhagavad Gita reveals the vision that you are amrtam (not subject to death) and the joyful way of living to see the vision. The Gita is Amrtam because it is a complete teaching of the sweet essence of the Vedas. Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya reminds us that to ‘the one who has studied the Bhagavad Gita even a little, there is no discussion with Yama, the Lord of Death.’(Bhaja Govindam – 20). Such is its glory!
Stotram Chanting
To be able to pray is a huge privilege. And all of us (irrespective of our gender, class, nationality differences) have been blessed with this privilege to pray.
A prayer is centred on a self conscious and self-judging person relating to an altar. The mode employed by the person praying is never the same – it differs from person to person. Even for a given person it differs from time to time. A prayer can be a simple mental or oral chant or a strict elaborate vedic ritual.
There are three different forms of karma, action, in prayer: kāyikam, physical, vācika, oral and mānasam, mental. Performing a ritual is a physical form of prayer. Singing praises of Bhagavān is an oral form of a prayer while chanting a mantra silently is a mental prayer.
