What is Vedanta?

Vedanta, literally ‘the end portion of the Vedas’, is the philosophy of the Upanishads, the Bhagawad Geeta and the Brahma Sutra, the most important scriptures of India. In ignorance we have come to identify ourselves with the matter vestures of Body, Mind and Intellect and we live a life not better than an animal - eating, sleeping, working, procreating and dying. Is there not anything more to life than this?

Vedanta points out that our real nature is pure Existence-Consciousness-Bliss. This knowledge of oneself helps one live a life of perfect enlightened living. Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda, the founder of the Chinmaya Mission initiated a unique method to study Vedanta, in the form of easy lessons, without any books, at home. He specially designed this course to cater to the different types of students all over the world for the subjective development of their personality leading them to the highest state of perfection, without interfering with their official, social or domestic commitments.

These lessons of Vedanta will now be made available to all interested students and seekers by e-mail! On November 30th 2003, Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda, Head Chinmaya Mission World Wide launched this course from the Chinmaya International Foundation [CIF].
