Let’s explore how we are living Vedic/Hindu wisdom, anchored by the teachings and writings of Acharya Shunya, a spiritual teacher, scholar of nondual wisdom (Advaita Vedanta), classically trained master of Yoga and Ayurveda, and transmitter of Goddess Wisdom from the Hindu/Vedic tradition. Seekers following any tradition of Hinduism/Sanatana Dharma are most welcome. Those who are curious and interested to learn more about this path in a respectful and open-minded manner are also welcome. This time, our sadhana will be a brief witnessing meditation, we will explore the spiritual significance of the upcoming Ganesh Chaturthi festival, and we will then begin exploring Chapter 6 of Sovereign Self by Acharya Shunya.
