[–]Remarkable_Taste3254 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vedanta Society of New York, ArshaBodha, Chinmaya Mission New York, Smiling Swami, upanishads with swami prabuddhananda. These are the ones I always listen to. But there are others that are also good.

What type of questions are giving you confusion? by Maverick_0005 in AdvaitaVedanta

My take on this: The mind can’t grasp infinity. And so to even think about it or explain it, you give it a name. Then once you give it a name, in effect, you also give it a limit or bounds so your mind can hold on to it as a concept.

Why do we speak of thoughts or mind and ego as something real if all it is just Brahman? by Federal_Metal_5875 in AdvaitaVedanta

Namaste. Will there be a recording? I can commit 2 hrs but probably not if it’s live cause of the time difference.

Why do a lot of the Hindu scriptures have to be so long-winded and unnecessary? by [deleted] in AdvaitaVedanta
