Traditional Advaita Vedanta

We teach traditional Advaita Vedanta, or original Vedanta as elucidated in the Vedic scriptures. It's not watered down version as commonly seen in modern Vedanta where sole focus is Awareness or Self.

Traditional Vedanta is complete system that also addresses the gamut of human experience — including the psychology of the individual, such as unresolved emotions, deep rooted unconscious pain, poor concentration. It shows us how to make intelligent choices amidst complex and nuanced situations.

Once the mind is relatively mature and peaceful — it's ready to assimilate and hold the vision of Oneness, without regressing to it's old ways. This mind maturity is missing in Neo-Vedanta, which is very much addressed in Traditional Vedanta.

Vedanta is Logically Irrefutable

Religion promises “heaven in the future”. This is something I can't prove nor disprove. It's subject to speculation, hope and doubt. Whereas Vedanta's sole focus is on something eternal which I can experientially prove here and now. It's above human speculation, dogma and belief.

For this reason, Vedantic knowledge cannot be contradicted from any standpoint — be it from a modern scientist, quantum physicist, biologist, cosmologist or psychologist.

Kundalini or Spiritual Awakening Won't Free You

According to Vedas, enlightenment is a fact and the highest accomplishment of human birth. But it's not about attaining higher states of “cosmic consciousness”. Nor anything to do with a spontaneous Kundalini awakening (energy release, spiritual experience, sudden inner transformation). Neither is it “soul healing”, joining God in heaven, seeing special visions, or hearing divine sounds.

These experiences arise within time. Meaning it was not here yesterday, something happened – therefore it's here now, or perhaps it'll come tomorrow. Meaning time is still bigger then the entity who had a “spiritual awakening”. This is the case with all dualistic paths (Dvaita) involving a subject and object. Or “I” and “that”. They operate within time. The so-called “awakened individual” is still ruled by time's creation and destruction cycles.

Whereas the limitless reality, the real “I”, is eternal. Time depends on it. It is timeless. Meaning it's never not true. And what keeps one from recognizing it as one's very self — is ignorance. Vedanta's job with help of a teacher is to remove this ignorance denying you self-realization as the cause of the universe, rather than an effect — a little dot in the vast cosmos, bound by time, occupying a small space.

The Solution

In conclusion, Vedanta is not about becoming, but being what you're never not. It is recognizing your true nature as the eternal, limitless “I” (Brahman) — which is never subject to birth or death.

When the seeker approaches these universal teachings with trust and a beginner's mind, the vision becomes crystal clear. Finally freed from all limitations — one comes to see the entire universe is nothing but myself. This is moksha – liberation.
