Nestled in the lap of the Himalayas, on the sacred banks of Mother Ganga, the Vedanta Course was inaugurated at Parmarth Niketan, Rishikesh in an atmosphere filled with divine peace and spiritual energy. Yoga practitioners and spiritual seekers from many countries across the world gathered to explore and absorb the profound wisdom of Vedanta.
In his blessings, Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati Ji shared that Vedanta is not merely a philosophy or an intellectual pursuit, but an art of living. Vedanta reminds us that we are not just the body or the mind, but the eternal, infinite, and divine Self. When this truth is realized, fear, stress, and unrest naturally dissolve.
He further emphasized that while the modern world is rich in external comforts, it deeply yearns for inner peace. In such times, the simple and beautiful path of Vedanta serves as a guiding light for humanity, inspiring the spirit of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam—the world as one family.
On this occasion, Pujya Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati Ji presented Vedanta in a simple, practical, and heart-touching manner, sharing that true happiness lies within. When we awaken the inner witness, every life situation becomes a spiritual practice.
Participants from the USA, Europe, Asia, Australia, and many other regions are studying the core principles of the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and Advaita Vedanta under the guidance of Yogacharya Gayatri Ji. Through thoughtful dialogue and reflection, seekers explored questions related to the Self, karma, liberation, ego, maya, and the true purpose of life.
This Vedanta Course at Parmarth Niketan not only imparts spiritual knowledge but also empowers participants to live balanced, compassionate, and service-oriented lives. The pure flow of the Ganga, the serene presence of the Himalayas, and the grace of the Gurus make this journey truly divine.
