The course on “Laghu-vakya-vritti – Realising Aham Brahmasmi” explains in detail the mahavakya “Aham brahmasmi” and its direct Realisation leading to Liberation.
The text enables the Realisation of Brahman by guiding the seeker from the known – the gross, subtle and causal bodies – to the unknown, the pure Consciousness. The conditionings of the three bodies, and finally the individual knower, all become the doorway for realising the Self.
The sadhanas, that is the recommended practices to abide in Brahman are also enumerated, to wit observing the silence between the thoughts, increasing the duration of the abidance and finally establishing oneself in It. It is revealed that the Self is ever available, and is at all times and in all states – we only need to be aware of It! The momentary experience of the Self must be fortified by the process of devoted contemplation of “Aham brahmasmi.”
A total of 5 video sessions by Swami Advayananda, divided into 4 lessons, will be made available to the registered students.

Why should I do this Course?
This Course will help one to comprehend the mahavakya “Aham Brahmasmi – I am Brahman.” The treatise logically and experientially guides the seeker from the known realm of body, mind and intellect to the unknown – the supreme Brahman. The treatise also provides valuable practices to come to this abidance. Laghu-vakya-vritti is thus a must for anyone committed to realising the Self.
