Vedanta Classes

V edanta Classes by Uday Acharya are conducted weekly and the Vedanta texts are taken by rotation. Key ideas of Vedanta are clarified and original Sanskrit words are translated for better understanding of the scriptures. Some of the classes have completed 2 or more rounds of Bhagavad Gita and covered the major Upanishads besides Brahmasutras with Shankara Bhashyam.

Prakarana Granthas covered are introductory works by teachers like Adi Shankara, Swami Vidyaranya, etc. These include Bhajagovindam, Tattva Bodh, Atma Bodh, Vedanta Sara, Drig Drishya Viveka, Viveka Choodamani, Panchadashi, Aparoksha Anubhuti, Sarva Vedddaaanta Siddhanta Sara Sangraha, Vakya Vritti, and Panchikarana.

Prasthaana Trayi constitute the three main pillars of Vedanta. These are The Bhagavad Geeta, The Upanishads, and The BrahmaSutras. The Bhagavad Geeta teaches the meaning of life and nature of ultimate fulfilment for a human being. The Upanishads are part of the Holy Vedas which are a source of divine revealed knowledge. The Upanishads reveal the underlying identity that connects the Creator, Created, and the Individual Self.

The teaching of the Upanishads lead to ultimate fulfilment. The BrahmaSutras are aphorisms that serve to summarize the Upanishads. They are analytical in nature and examine the Upanishad statements to determine their contextual meaning and eliminate any possible ambiguity, doubts and misinterpretations.
