Vedanta Saar Pravachans

The discourses on Vedanta Saar are going on regularly at Vedanta Ashram.

We have however planned to discontinue uploading new discourses of Vedanta Saar of Poojya Guruji on the net. As per the instructions of Poojya Guruji we shall upload selected discourses only which are completed in a definite time period, like those of Gyana Yagnas. The discourses at ashram are very elaborate, and at times are not useful to people not having the necessary background.

The talks on the first chapter and two discourses on the 2nd chapter will remain on the net, as they are of help to any new sadhaka.

The pravachans on Vedanta Saar will continue till 12th July, after which will start the Guru Poornima Camp.

Vedanta Saar_2-2

Today on 2nd July 2008, the discourse on Vedanta-Saar was on Adhyaropa. Poojya Guruji said that this very study indicates our wish to remove all veils and awake to our divine truth within, and for this it is certainly very important to understand the exact definition of Adhyaropa, but it is equally important to understand as to why it takes place. What is it which compels us to resort to projection rather than revert to valid enquiry.

Vedanta Saar_2-1

Today on 1st July 2008, the discourse on Vedanta-Saar started once again after a gap of about a fortnight. From today starts the second chapter of the text, and is called as Adhyaropa chapter.

The opening statement was the crisp and the famous definition of Adhyaropa or Superimposition.
