Dive Deep into Advaita Vedanta Philosophy with Vedantasara of Sadananda | HUA
In this Course, Students will inquire into some of the fundamental misunderstandings that have accumulated around the Advaita Vedanta. Is the world to be taken as unreal? Is it a pessimistic philosophy? Is the world to be renounced? Is it only for Sannyasis? Students will be encouraged to form well-informed perspectives on Advaita Vedanta after a deep inquiry facilitated by the study of an original Sanskrit text, Vedantasara of Sadananda, an authoritative Acharya of the Advaita tradition. This study will enable students to form new insights into Advaita Vedanta philosophy.
Vedantasara of Sadananda – Part 1 Course content:
This Course is the first course in a two-part course sequence that introduces Advaita Vedanta systematically based on a text called Vedantasara by Sadananda. Advaita Vedanta is the most dynamic and popular of Vaidika Darshanas (philosophies). It is very well formulated, and it answers our fundamental questions regarding life and our human condition. Although there are many texts that deal with the principles of Advaita Vedanta, Vedantasara is a very good entry level text.
This Text is prescribed at the Graduate levels at universities in India. What Sankhya Karika is to Sankhya philosophy, Vedantasara is to Advaita Vedanta. Composed in Prose form, the Vedantasara consists of forty-two Gadyanshas. Other Texts such as the Brahmasutra, the Bhagavadgita, Upanishads and other Darshanas will become more accessible once the student acquires a firm foundation in Advaita Vedanta.
In the first course, approximately half the text will be covered, and the second course will cover the remaining portion. Prior knowledge of Sanskrit or Vedanta philosophy is not necessary to take up this course. A PDF file of the main text with Devanagari and Roman script will be shared with the students. In addition, supplementary reading material will be shared in PDF form. Through this course, students will also get initiated into the Sanskrit language.
