PraNAms to all

I have heard many teachers but I find Paramarthanandaji - focusses on the topic - extremely well structured and to the point - without any drifting - Lately I have been listening to Swami Iswaranandaji also- He is an achaarya of Chinmaya Mission in SanDiago - He makes very well thought out presentations - If you happen to see any announcements about his talks - do not miss the opportunity to listen to him. 

Both swami's are graduates from Sandeepany sadhanalaya established by Swami Chinmayanandaji. Swami Paramarthanadaji is a student of Swami Dayandandaji when He  was teaching at Sandeepany and Swami Iswaranandaji is a student of swami Tejomayanandaji. Sandeepany accepts students from outside - the course is for 2 years - One can join the course if one is deeply committed. New course has just started recently. 

Hari Om!

In my humble opinion one of the best teachers of traditional advaita vedanta in the world today is Pujya Swami Paramarthananda-ji.
This website has weekly updates about his ongoing lecture series.
http://www.vedantavidyarthisangha.org/
 
He is a erudite scholar, a master of the scriptures and related fields of logic and grammar, and a realized Master.
He is methodical, and systematic in his approach and lays a lot of emphasis on tradition - he teaches in easy to understand English, and makes the study of such a complex subject so easily accessible to all!

Dear 'selfless man'...i know exactly how you feel!! that emptiness despite having 'it all'.  i, myself, was in India for 11 years, searching for that elusive thing one calls 'enlightenment'..finally i'm back in the West and happened to meet a Swamini who is from Arsha Vidya organization in Coimbatore, s.india...they teach Vedanta in the traditional 'sampradaya' method and ,ironically coming to the west, i have found the clarity and practicality of the teaching immensely powerful....KNOWLEDGE IS THE ONLY MEANS TO MOKSHA...ALL THE PATHS, ULTIMATELY END IN KNOWLEDGE....
 
check out their website- the founder is Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswathi, a great Sanskrit scholar and fantastic modern exponent of Advaita Vedanta...this may help you in your search...GOOD LUCK and Bhagavan's eternal blessings

Hi, I've been asking help from a native Indian in how to contact an 
Advaita Vedanta teacher from India, but he told me I won't be able to find 
one online and gave me this mailing list.

I am a male 24 years of age who lives in Egypt, and have a very 
"successful" career, and anything anyone would dream to have in their

life, I have. But yet I am not content with my ignorance of the Self, and 
I'm longing for enlightenment.

I am not sure if this is appropriate to post in here, but at least it's a 
hope for me. Do you think there's any hope that any teacher of the Advaita 
Vedanta tradition can adopt me as his son, and teach me how to find 
mySelf? I'm willing to live in India, and leave everything behind for a 
drop of wisdom.

thanks,
a Selfless man
