[Advaita-l] Intensive Online Course in Advaita Vedanta, Meditation & Sanskrit by Swami Tadatmananda & Vasanthi ji

[Nagarajan Seshadri]

Hope some of you can benefit from this
Intensive Online Course in Advaita Vedanta, Meditation & Sanskrit conducted
by Swami Tadatmananda and Vasanthi-ji

The course has two parts:
              1) Six-month Course – open to all students. Immediately
followed by:
              2) Two-year Course – open to qualified students
No fees are required for either part, but a firm commitment of at least 1
hour a day is required.

Typical daily schedule:
              15 minutes      Meditation Practice
              30 minutes      Vedantic Studies
              15 minutes      Sanskrit Language
Your personal schedule is completely flexible, but at least 7 hours of
study will be needed to complete the assignments each week.

Weekly Program

1) Each week, carefully selected teachings from our ArshaBodha.org website
and Swamiji’s YouTube channel will be assigned. You will receive an email
with the necessary links.

2) Questions about each week’s assigned teachings can be sent to
SwamiT at ArshaBodha.org with the subject “Course Question.” Swamiji will
answer as many questions as possible in a weekly video posted on his
YouTube channel (pre-recorded to avoid favoring any time zone).

3) Homework: Each week, you will identify three important points from the
assigned teachings and email them to CourseHomework at ArshaBodha.org for
review. This requirement will be dropped after the first six months. (Note:
when I was a student, my guru required us to submit a one-page essay every
day.)


Enrollment

Registration for the Six-month course closes 14 April 2026. The course

will be scheduled periodically.

Syllabus for Six-Month Course

Even if you have independently studied some of the assigned course
materials before, it is important to study them again, both to stay
“in-sync” with everyone in the course and because you will learn much more
the second time (see the first part of Swamiji’s video, Layer by Layer –
How to Gain Deeper Insights from the Bhagavad Gita
<https://youtu.be/3ARwvr0cd6A>).
