More about the Vedanta Vijnana – Atmabodha Course
‘Atman’ means the Self and ‘bodha’ means knowledge. Thus, the title ‘Atmabodha’ means knowledge of the Self, the all-pervading Consciousness.
This is a basic text (prakarana-grantha) that is studied in the beginning of Vedantic studies.The unique aspect of this text, authored by Sri Adi Sankaracharya, is that it provides complete clarity on all important Vedantic concepts through suitable examples, similes and metaphors, and thus enables easy comprehension.
The text declares that if ignorance and the misconceptions born from it are the cause of human suffering, then the Self-knowledge alone is the solution – just as light alone can dispel darkness.
Participants have the option to register for each text individually, commencing with Atmabodha, or for the entire Vedanta Vijnana Course. If you would like to register for the complete Vedanta Vijnana Course, please click here.
