VEDANTA, THE LIFELINE FOR THE PRESENT, THE HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

The propagation of Vedanta is the only way today of defusing the atmosphere of fanatical intolerance that is on the rise in the world.
The Vedanta allows sufficient space to all religions and ideological systems by laying down the ground rules for harmonious co-existence.
The climactic evolution of Vedic thought forms the body of the Vedanta, also called the Upanishads. It is purely a rational philosophical system.
The Vedanta is not merely intellect-based. It is founded on transcendental experience. The rationality lies in the explanation thereof.
The Vedanta accepts nothing phenomenal as ultimately true. It rejects the senses as effective modes of transmitting truth. It accepts none.
The universe and the ego are the dual phases of a single dream, says the Vedanta. Even God is termed eventually as unreal. Only the Self abides as true.
