Vedānta was originally a word used in Hindu philosophy as a synonym for that part of the Veda texts also known as the Upanishads. The name is a morphophonological form of Veda-anta = "Veda-end" = "the appendix to the Vedic hymns". It is also speculated that "Vedānta" means "the purpose or goal [end] of the Vedas". Vedanta can also be used as a noun to describe one who has mastered all four of the original Vedas. Hence Vedantham is the science of Life (Complete Knowledge)..

======================================================================== -===================================================================== Monday, August 22, 2022. 07:30. Khandam X : IV. Adhyaropa Apavada Post-36. ======================================================================== IV. Adhyaropa Apavada : Disciple: What is the relation between the Kosha and the Atman? Guru: Anyonya-Adhyasa. Disciple: What is Anyonya-Adhyasa Guru: Anyonya-Adhyasa is mutual superimposition. The attributes of the five sheaths are superimposed on the Atman. The attributes of the sheaths, e.g., change pain, etc., are falsely attributed to the pure soul or the Atman. The attributes of the Pure Atman such as Existence, Knowledge, Bliss, Purity, Consciousness are transferred to the five sheaths. Disciple: What is Adhyaropa? Guru: Adhyaropa is superimposition. Just as the snake is superimposed on the rope, the five Koshas are superimposed on the Atman. Disciple: What is Apavadayukti? Guru: It is s...

================================================================================================================== Sunday 21, June 2026. 07:50. Books Yoga & Meditation True Spiritual Living Chapter 4: Withdrawing from Objects of Sense - 3. Post-20. ======================================================================================================= I have already given the definition of the universal. The universal does not necessarily mean the Supreme or the Absolute Universal. Even a tendency towards it can be regarded as a universal, just as a student studying in the third standard is called a student undergoing education, and an Oxford post-graduate is also undergoing education. Whatever be the class in which we are reading, we are regarded as undergoing education. Likewise, we are moving towards the universal even if we have taken only half a step, or even less than that. Badrinath is 160 miles from here, but even if we take one step in that direction, it is a movement...

======================================================================================================= Tuesday 26, May 2026. 20:30. Books Yoga & Meditation True Spiritual Living Chapter 4: Withdrawing from Objects of Sense - 2. Post-19. ======================================================================================================= We can only say, in the language of the Upanishads, that this fall ended in a sort of makeshift between the condition into which the consciousness fell and the longing which it cherished in its own self. It is like the League of Nations. Internally we are at war with one another, but we sit at a single table and talk on world peace. The League of Nations failed. It never worked well, and it does not exist any more. Likewise, consciousness had no other alternative than to reconcile itself with the fall, at the same time not forgetting that it is impossible for it to continue in that fallen condition.
