……… Darshan means
Philosophy. It implies our vision as to how we look at the world &
our self. Darshan is something to be lived & assimilated rather than
just understood intellectually. Vedanta darshan is the philosophy of life
as revealed in the Vedas. To be more specific it is revealed exclusively in
the section of Vedas called Upanishad. This section being the culmination
of Vedic thought is also referred to as Vedanta, the anta or the end of
Vedas.
………Vedanta unequivocally, uncompromisingly & also
systematically reveals that there is one, non-dual Truth in this universe,
and basically everyone & everything is that & that alone. This
eternal, timeless truth is of the nature of blissful, self-effulgent,
existence. It is the very Life principle. This divinity which is therein called
as Brahman, has an inexplicable & indefinable power called Maya,
because of which this one truth manifests in different ways. The
multiplicity we see all over is just the manifestation of Brahman in
different Forms. As each form is unique so we have different names for
them. But the essence of all names & forms is one & one alone. I am
that & you too are that. To realize this limitless, non-dual truth of
myself is the real GOAL of human life. That alone is door to freedom &
complete fulfillment - Moksha.
………In this section we very briefly introduce you to
fundamental terms. You are advised to study our
