8-week course.
Yogic disciplines have been as preparatory practices for purifying the heart and balancing the mind - to unveil the deeper truths.
Course meets eight Thursdays: Sept 27–Nov 15
It is a rare gift in our lives to have the time, inclination, and opportunity to study Vedanta in a methodical manner. We are grateful to you for participating in this endeavor.
The ancient Rishis or seers, delved into the depths of their being, and closely analyzed all of the layers of the human existence. In this process of self-inquiry, they discovered that in essence we are but pure consciousness, and that various factors and conditioning cloud our vision and hide this truth. They laid out practices for clarifying our vision so we too can access this first-hand knowledge. Yogic disciplines have been prescribed as preparatory practices, for purifying the heart and balancing the mind. For unveiling the deeper truths, the study of Vedanta has been prescribed.
Just as a map is necessary for reaching a destination, the teachings of Vedanta are the compass guiding the aspirant along the path of self-inquiry. Traditionally, Vedanta is studied by listening to the teachings from an experienced teacher, reflecting on them to help clarify our doubts, and meditating on these truths to enshrine them in our being.
This 8-session course will focus on the text Drk Drshya Viveka (Inquire into the Distinction Between the Seer and the Seen) by Adi Guru Sankaracharya, which thoroughly analyzes the difference between subject or observer and object or observed. A clear understanding of who is this perceiver, what is perceived, and what are the instruments of perception is necessary for the recognition of one’s nature as a conscious being, transcendent of external and internal changes. Through this recognition, the grip of the tide of life’s ups and downs gets loosened and the aspirant enjoys a greater sense of peace and freedom.
Required text – Drk Drshya Viveka of Adi Guru Sankaracharya, available at the Center’s boutique.
Recommended preparation – read the text Tattva Bodha of Adi Guru Sankaracharya (also available at the Center’s boutique) and listen to the lecture series on Tattva Bodha that was offered earlier this year at the center by following this link.
No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
