The Author
Swami Dayananda Saraswati calls himself a traditional
teacher of Vedanta. His teachings reveal the most profound truth
that is rooted in the richness of tradition, yet very current in his
presentation. He is perhaps the rare teacher who communicates
with total clarity, keeping his audience spell bound as he drives
home concepts, truths and definitions. Impeccable logic, brilliant
analysis, erudition, precise use of language, together with childlike
humour make his books the greatest living legacy of Advaita
Vedanta. Swamiji personally edits his teachings published by
AVRandPT to ensure that the vision of Vedanta is communicated
with clarity. There is none to match Swamiji’s ability to make the
audience see as clearly as he does. Swamiji is at home with
people of all ages, of all cultures.
To keep the teaching tradition going, both long-term
intensive (3 years) courses and short-term camps, Swamiji
established Gurukulams at Anaikatti (Coimbatore), Rishikesh,
Saylorsburg (US) and Nagpur. In the three-year in-depth
program Swamiji teaches the major Upaniñads, Bhagavadgétä,
Brahmasütra & Prakaraëas, along with study of Sanskrit
Grammar & Yoga. In the short-term camps (between 2 weeks
to 3 months) Swamiji teaches a whole text or explores Vedanta
through a set of verses from the text. Through these long-term
courses Swamiji has created over 300 disciples to carry on the
teaching tradition.

Public Talks.................................................
“ While living I need to relate to the world;
there is no choice. There is also no choice in exercising
choice for a human being. I need to choose. Then,
is there a choice in my ‘ living intelligently? ’ There
is no choice. My being aware of all that is here is
Éçvara makes me live an intelligent, pragmatic life,
because I cannot estrange myself from Éçvara. I
have this attitude of being connected to Isvara all
through. That is intelligent living. I need not bring
Éçvara into my life; I find that Éçvara is already there
in my life. I need to be aware of his presence. ”

“ Success and failure are relative terms. ”
Swamiji says, “ When you practice what is right even
though you do not like doing it, and avoid what is
wrong, even though you want to do it, you slowly
change. Later, you find yourself in a position where
what is to be done is what you like to do and what
is not to be done is what you do not like to do. That
is, indeed, a successful life. ”

“ I do not believe that anyone can be happy in
today’s world without Vedanta. It is not possible
because our society is born of competition, nurtured
in competition. The competition starts from the
cradle! Naturally, our lot is very complex. There is
a need for a cognitive change. We need Vedanta
to be sane and we have to solve the problem
fundamentally. That is the only way; there is no
other way. Humanity has driven itself into a corner
from where it has no other solution except to know
‘ I am the whole. ’ It is what Vedanta is. ”

is, it can be guarded and nursed. ”

“ The expression of my life is just the
expression of my well-assimilated value structure.
What I do is but an expression of what is valuable
to me. For comforts to be enjoyed I must be there
to enjoy them. When I am split with guilt, I am rarely
anywhere but with my anxieties, regrets and guilt.
When I clearly see this fact, I will see the value of
applying universal ethical standards to myself.
Therefore, a value, universal or situational, is a value
for me only when I see the value of the value as
valuable to me. ”

“ When a person recognises Brahman, who is
in the form of cause and effect, the binding knot of
ignorance in his heart resolves, his doubts are
cleared and all his karmas are exhausted. ” (2.2.9)
“ Every upaniñad is a word mirror which
reveals that the one who is looking at it, is the only
one who makes things happen, exist and resolve. ”

Nothing is more painful to live with than this

one who is not adequately prepared. The sentences
