Your nature is bliss and your glory is without stain.
Because you identify yourself with the ego, you are tied to birth and death.
Your bondage has no other cause.”

father of Advaita Vedanta
I am delighted to invite you to join me for my free webinar on
Wednesday December 13th 2023 – Who Am I? A Journey to Self-Realisation. This webinar is an introduction to the ancient system of Indian philosophy known as Advaita Vedanta through an overview of its main themes as presented in the classical Sanskrit text, Drig Drishya Viveka, focussing on the crucial question: Who Am I?
Join me for an illuminating exploration into the timeless wisdom that unravels the nature of reality, consciousness, and the path to self-realization!
How do you know if this is the right webinar for you? Have you been finding yourself pondering on questions such as:
– What is the nature of reality?
– Who am I?
– Why am I here?
– How do I live my best life?
Well, then this webinar is a great first step on your spiritual journey deepening your understanding of the Self and Reality and ultimately claiming peace in your life. And what better time to embark on this journey than as we enter a new year!
In this webinar, I will introduce you to the following key Vedantic themes:
- Discrimination (Viveka), specifically the distinction between the Seer (Drig) and the Seen (Drishya) – guiding you to examine the nature of your own perceptions and thereby gain more clarity about how you perceive the world.
- Awareness of Illusion (Maya) — only through an awareness of the illusory nature of the world can we truly detach ourselves from the material world and focus on our true nature.
- The Self (Atman) and Reality (Brahman) — which are one and the same, eternal and changeless, pure consciousness.
These core concepts are an outline of the material that will be explored further in the 12-week course: Who Am I: Dive Deep into Advaita Vedanta with Drig Drishya Viveka.
In addition to this introduction to fundamental terms in Advaita Vedanta, we will also be using meditations and techniques to cultivate discrimination between the Real and the Unreal so that you can better understand the knowledge of the scriptures.
Participants of this webinar will receive a special discount code for registration on the course.
I look forward to seeing you in this inspiring free webinar!
Om Shanti,
Rukmini Chaitanya
