Vedic Study Circle
Awaken to Your True Self
Welcome to the Vedic Study Circle
I invite you to explore the Vedic Study Circle, a sanctuary for deep spiritual learning and self-discovery under my guidance. This space is dedicated to connecting with the ancient wisdom of Advaita Vedanta—nondual Vedic wisdom—through the study of Shastra (source texts), Sampradaya (spiritual lineage), and Parampara (tradition). This journey fosters transformation, self-actualization, and self-realization for sincere seekers. Western students, modern yogis, and real-time spiritual explorers will find a welcoming home here. This advanced study opportunity is free from contracts and fees. Join us if this resonates with your soul, and stay if you feel your consciousness evolving, ascending, and aligning with the divine reality.
​​
Explore Timeless Vedic Wisdom
In the Vedic Study Circle, we will explore Vedic source texts, such as the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Yoga Sutras, explore chapters and sections over a series of weeks, studying each text in-depth for several weeks, followed by breaks in between. You will have the flexibility to subscribe and unsubscribe at any time, and while there is no fee to participate, free-will donations are warmly accepted to keep these teachings accessible to all of humanity.
​
In our sessions, I will translate each verse, and often each word, into English. I will convey the detailed meanings and hidden insights, making the teachings accessible and sensible to seekers from all parts of the globe. Through this meticulous approach, we will uncover the profound truth that the Self, God, and the Universe are One (nondual).
​​
This journey into Vedic wisdom is also a profound exploration of consciousness, revealing the infinity within us and our connection to the transcendent. It is an urgent call to reconnect with our true nature, fostering a sense of unity, balance, and empowerment that is essential for personal and collective well-being. Through this study, we tap into the boundless potential of our inner selves, discovering that we are not limited by our circumstances but are part of an infinite, transcendent reality.
Discover the Depths of Nondual Wisdom
I have received the deepest mystical wisdom of Advaita Vedanta from my grandfather, my Guru Baba Ayodhya Nath, who was in turn instructed by his Guru Acharya Shanti Prakash, my great grandfather. This ancient knowledge, passed down through a lineage of masters, affirms that Divine Consciousness is the basis of all existence and the goal of life is to realize this divine consciousness as our higher Self.
In the Vedic Study Circle, I offer an unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in the ancient teachings of Advaita Vedanta. This online donation based platform provides soulful education on the nondual essence of the Self through the study of the Vedas, Upanishads, and Bhagavad Gita and other scriptures authored by enlightened Indian seers such as Adi Shankaracharya, Veda Vyasa, Rishi Narada, Sage Patanjali and others. With a focus on Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga, Upasana Yoga, and Jnana Yoga, I guide seekers towards spiritual awareness, desire for liberation and self-realization.
Traditional Knowledge with Modern Sensibility
What sets this study opportunity apart is my unique blend of traditional training and modern sensibility. Having trained in India and made the USA my home for the past 25 years, I bring a deep understanding of both worlds. This allows me to convey ancient wisdom in a way that resonates with contemporary seekers.
In the Vedic Study Circle, you won't just learn Sanskrit words and chants; you'll embark on a transformative journey towards your true Self, as shown by the seers of yore.
Embark on a Spiritual Journey: Discover the True Path of Yoga
Yoga transcends the physical; it's a spiritual journey to discover the higher Self, one with the universal Self, Ishvara. This involves exploring Vedic texts like the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads, and reviving the knowledge of Ishvara, the Supreme Consciousness, aiding our Self-Realization.
​
Through the four classical yoga pathways—Bhakti, Karma, Upasana (including Raja), and Jnana—I guide seekers to this profound realization.

Join me in this Vedic study circle to experience the true path of yoga and the bliss of the expansive inner Self.
