Dear Fellow Devotees,


 The Hindu Temple and Heritage Hall of Toledo is pleased to announce “Vedanta Class” on every Wednesdays at 7:00 PM to 8:15 PM. at the Temple. The first class will start on May 8th 2013 Wednesday.


During this Vedanta class devotees will have an opportunity to learn Upanishadic teachings from learned scholars and great Sanyasi Acharyas Emphasis in this class will be on practical application of the teachings in everyday living. This class will go beyond dry intellectual discussions of concepts. Focus will be maintained on embodying the theoretical knowledge learned during class-time into everyday behavioral changes during the remainder of the week. Home work will be assigned to transform ones responses to external sensory stimuli and improve on the duration and quality of one’s meditation. Practices may include transforming ones thought processes, speech and action throughout the work week even outside of class time. Emphasis will be laid on modeling one’s conduct on those of ideal, historical and contemporary, role models. Role models will include great self-realized masters of the past and present generations and their disciples.


The first discourse will be on Ishopanishad. Swami Sri Viditatmananda’s video pravachan will be used for this class. He graduated in 1978 from the course taught by his Sadguru Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati, in Mumbai, India. Over three decades, since then, he has been extremely active, teaching, writing books and preparing Pujya Swamiji's words for publication. He visits the Arsha Vidya Gurukulam every year during spring/summer and conducts classes. He expounds Vedanta with a simplicity and directness that make it easy to assimilate. Having lived and worked in the United States prior to obtaining the diksha of sanyaas from his Sadguru, he is familiar with the lifestyles in India and the West. With his insight into both cultures, he reaches out to everyone with equal ease.

Under the banner of Adhyatma Vidya Mandir, he conducts various programs to disseminate the knowledge of the scriptures. He gives talks on the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. He also conducts management seminars with a view of showing the relevance of Vedanta in management.
