Vedanta

Mundakopanishad depicts that Highest Truth which is the real essence of every being, but until the Jeeva is enlightened he remains ignorant of this Pure Self. The same principle is illustrated in this Upanishad via two inseparable birds sitting on a tree. One bird being the untouched Pure consciousness or witness and other as the Jiva or enjoyer/ doer of samsara. The one who comprehends the Mundakopanishad is shaved or liberated from ignorance, and becomes the knower of the Highest Wisdom (Para Vidya or Brahman) without any ambiguity. Pujya Swami Abhedanandaji beautifully unravels each mantra, ushering us inward, introducing us to our own true Self: the Pure consciousness!

Ishavasya Upanishad- the guide to removing sorrows The biggest problem of our life is sorrow. Sorrow is not objective, it arises in the mind and the cause of it is also in the mind.

Swamiji’s inimitable style of combining deep scriptural knowledge with everyday life examples, converts this timeless wisdom into a guide for life.

उपनिषद् हमारी असत से सत  की यात्रा के प्रवेशक हैं। हमारे दुःखों का मूल कारण स्वयं में अपूर्णता की काल्पनिक अनुभूति है। सारे उपनिषद अनन्त ब्रह्म की पुष्टि करते हैं। कृष्ण यजुर्वेद शाखा का यह उपनिषद् अत्यन्त महत्त्वपूर्ण उपनिषदों में से एक है और जीवन के सही अर्थ और मृत्यु के रहस्य जैसे विषयों को अनावरित करता है।  
इस उपनिषद् में वाजश्रवा-पुत्र नचिकेत और यमराज के संवाद के द्वारा सत्य की व्याख्या है। यह
संवाद आत्मा के ब्रह्म स्वरुप को दर्शाता है जो भूत और भविष्य, धर्म और अधर्म, कार्य और कारण से परे है। इस उपनिषद् के प्रथम अध्याय के प्रवचनों में स्वामी अभेदानन्दजी ने इस ब्रह्म स्वरुप को
सरल भाषा में समझाया है।

“The epitome of the enlightening texts of Vedanta is Brihadaranyaka Upanishad. This text is both qualitatively and quantitatively the torch bearer of Brahma Vidya. Studied in the “Aranyaka” or forest in ancient times, this Upanishad expounds the essential principles of worship, meditation and the ideal spiritual life that one should follow.
Swami Abhedananda a par excellent exponent of Vedant, decodes the secrets hidden in these ancient scriptures in the most simplistic manner, by making this timeless wisdom relevant to our modern times. In the first part of this series Swamiji covers many topics including , meaning and significance of Hiranya garbha, Upasana, Shanti mantra and much more. Come join Swamiji on part one of this journey of moving from the unreal to the real, from sorrow to eternal bliss.”

Bliss is our essential nature, yet we feel incomplete and crave for happiness externally. This contradictory experience stems from the fundamental ailment called ‘Agyaan’ (ignorance). We feel incomplete in absence of people, objects and situations of our liking. And in quest for that completeness, we constantly strive for fame, money, family; yet the more we fulfil one desire the more incomplete we feel. Vedant comes to our rescue and tells us that our incompleteness is not external rather it is internal. The way towards this eternal, internal completeness is ‘ The Path Of Liberation’.
Swami Abhedananda helps us traverse this worldly terrain to fulfil the purpose of our life and reach our final destination – Liberation. In these highly practical Vedantic discourses, Swamiji explains in-depth about the course of discipline that our scriptures have described to achieve this goal. Come walk this path of liberation which will unite you the seeker to your Real Self!

The Holy Geeta is a lighthouse of eternal wisdom that has the ability to inspire mankind to Supreme accomplishments and enlightenment. Lord Krishna’s message in the Geeta is to see permanent in the impermanent, to realise the unchanging in the chaning, to remain unruffled and untouched in the most turbulent and troubling situations.
Through these talks on the 15th chapter of Geeta, Swami Abhedanandaji reveals the hidden truths about the nature of the world, the Self and the God. He teaches the art of making our responses a reception of the higher and not the reaction of lower instincts. Swamiji enables us to understand that the perception of a “part” makes our happiness limited and deferred, whereas realization of the “whole” reveals that Happiness in our essential nature. Above all, he explains how the Geeta can help us correct and transform our limited vision.
