You will explore the teachings of Advaita Vedanta, a tradition that emphasizes the oneness of all existence, where the self and ultimate reality are interconnected. Through meditation and self-inquiry, you will understand the unity of all things and overcome habitual thought patterns, leading to a deeper sense of oneness with yourself and the universe.
These teachings dissolves the sense of separation between self and others, fostering inner peace and harmony by shifting perceptions and resolving emotional conflicts.
Dedicate 15–30 minutes daily to meditation and specific contemplative practices, and apply non-dual teachings informally in daily interactions and challenging situations.
Swami Nirgunananda Giri, a Sannyasin (monk) of the traditional Hindu order, offers transformative teachings grounded in Yoga and Advaita Vedanta. Renouncing worldly life in his late twenties, he embarked on over 25 years of monastic training, including 12 years of service at an ashram, silent retreats, and immersion in Indian Yoga, Vedanta, and Buddhist traditions. Initiated into Sannyasa at the revered Kailash Ashram in Rishikesh, he now resides in the serene Himalayas of Uttarakhand, dedicating his time to deep contemplation and teaching. With a unique blend of ancient Vedic wisdom, practical self-inquiry, and tailored yogic practices, Swami Nirgunananda guides students on their path to Self-Realization, drawing on his rich spiritual and worldly experiences.
In the context of Advaita Vedanta Darshan, non-duality, or ""Advaita,"" asserts that the ultimate reality, Brahman, is indivisible and transcends all dualities, emphasizing the essential oneness of the self (Atman) with the supreme cosmic consciousness. It is a part of the Upanishads that are a continuation of the Vedic philosophy, written between 800 and 400 B.C. They elaborate on how the soul can be united with the ultimate truth through contemplation and mediation, as well as the doctrine of Karma— the cumulative effects of a persons’ actions.
