Yoga Vedanta Philosophy
A spiritual discourse on Vedanta philosophy, worldly duties, and the path to non-dual awareness.
"Vedānta is the essence of the Vedas. And the essence of this is divided and explained in one word. Advaitavāda, non-dualism."
"If you protect your dharma, dharma will protect you. This is Sanātana Dharma. Sanātana, this is eternal dharma."
Satguru Swāmī Madhvānandjī delivers a teaching, weaving together core Vedantic concepts like the eternal Ātmā and the changing Jīvātmā with practical life lessons. He critiques a purely intellectual understanding of non-duality, emphasizes the importance of honest action and dharma, and explains various worldly and spiritual challenges framed as three doṣas, three guṇas, three tapas, and four types of divine punishment (daṇḍa). The talk concludes with a blessing for the global audience.
