Description
Lectures on Yoga and Vedanta given at the Boston Vedanta Society.
Vedanta is one of the world's most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions.
According to Vedanta, God is infinite existence, infinite consciousness, and infinite bliss. The term for this impersonal, transcendent reality is Brahman, the divine ground of being. Yet Vedanta also maintains that God can be personal as well, assuming human form in every age.
Vedanta further asserts that the goal of human life is to realize and manifest our divinity. Not only is this possible, it is inevitable. Our real nature is divine; God-realization is our birthright.
Finally, Vedanta affirms that all religions teach the same basic truths about God, the world, and our relationship to one another.

from the "United" States--thank you for producing this. It's not perfect. Reality is more than anyone can talk about. Still, I appreciate this so much.

these podcasts have been very thought provoking. they are ideal if traditional thoughts/ teachings are not been enough to answer questions. for example, why should I believe in God. is God real? Is it wrong not to believe in God all the way up to how to meditate, is yoga anything other than physical exercise, and so on. the list is endless, but each has been well explained. it has appealed to the likes of me who refuses to believe without questioning. oddly enough that's exactly what this seems to explain - question before believing. an excellent series - highly recommended for the curious.
