Guest guest Posted February 18, 2002 Report Share Posted February 18, 2002 Namaste: The online courses offered by the Vedanta Mission may be useful for those who want to get a good background on Advaita Vedanta Philosophy. The Mission follows the Gurukula spirit and will not charge any fee for enrollment. But 'Gurudakshna' is also the tradition and should be respected by the students who take such courses. It is nice to see the adoption of this ancient system of free education to the students who want to enhance their knowledge. The students who enroll in such systems have the responsibility to repay the teacher within their means. regards, Ram Chandran ========================================================== Vedanta Mission Online Courses on Gita and Tattva Bodha Teacher: H.H. Swami AtmanandaVM Online Courses Announcement by Vedanta Mission: URL: http://www.vmission.org/vedanta/courses/index.htm The times have changed. Technology has made the world so small. While sitting in our Ashram here in India we are interacting with so many people all over the world. Through this section we plan to turn the world into a big class room, where anyone at any place & time can access some fundamental lessons on Vedanta and get insights into this great, ancient & redeeming wisdom of India. Two Courses available : At present we are presenting two Lessons Courses. 1. Bhagwad Gita Course(click) 2. Tattva Bodha Course. (click) There are four parts in each of these courses. Each part will have ten lessons. At the end of every lesson we have some questions. The first lesson of the first part of both the courses will be freely available to everyone, but second lesson onward will be available only to those who have satisfactorily answered the questions of the earlier lessons. Once we recieve the answers and are satisfied with the understanding of the student, then a password for accessing the subsequent lesson will be e-mailed to the person individually. We want only the serious & sincere ones to access subsequent lessons, because they alone will benefit properly. 1. Bhagwad Gita Lesson Course : Gita needs no introduction. In brief we can say that whoever has not read Srimad Bhagwad Gita has missed something great in life. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand life fully & live it thoroughly. It is the essence of entire Vedic vision, and transcends all sectarian thoughts. It reveals the timeless truths of life, and also reveals a way to live a full & holistic life, wherein we give justice to not only what is worldly but also that which is beyond. Click on ‘details' to see the subject matter of the various Parts & Lessons of this special Course written for you all by Poojya Guruji. Details. 2. Tattva Bodha Lesson Course : Tattva Bodha is a small introductory text book of Vedanta philosophy. It introduces to us the fundamentals of the philosophy of Vedanta. The title means: ‘Knowledge of Truth'. The text is supposed to be written by Sri Adi Sankara, and is indeed a stepping stone to enter the divine portals of Vedanta. Please click on ‘details' for getting a birds eye view of each Part & Lesson of the course. 3. Cost of the Course : We follow the spirit of Gurukula type of education in all our Courses & Classes. In this system, the student is given free education, but as & when he finishes a particular Part of the Course he is asked to donate any amount to the Trust as per his capacity & disposition. This amount is paid to the Trust account which manages the activities. Please click on the Support link (side column), also see the Q&A's on the Mission Index Page for further details.

Swami AtmanandaVM Online Courses > > Announcement by Vedanta Mission: > URL: http://www.vmission.org/vedanta/courses/index.htm > Thanks for posting this useful link. Students and educators of Vedanta philosophy should find this site very useful. I also liked the progressive, test-based approach that opens up lessons only after the student has successively passed the test for the previous lesson. Another interesting web-site with a lot of useful vedantic content is : http://www.yogamalika.org/newweb/yogahome.html If you click on listening room, you can listen to audio lectures in english (some in tamil as well). The series of 16 audio lectures on Vedanta (based on Sankara's Tattva Bodha) should be especially useful to any student as there is clear explanation of terminology and concepts. regards Sundar Rajan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
