About Us
Introduction
In our rush to get the most out of life, we miss Life itself. Stress and constant action are the norm. The beauty of silence, stillness and contemplation are lost.
Do you find life’s challenges never ceasing and stressful? Do you question if this is your sole purpose or is there more? Do you want to:
- Deal with everyday situations positively?.
- Learn to be in control of your mind rather than the mind controlling you?
- Know your True Self to be empowered in daily transactions?
- Be in control of situations without stress?
- See things for what they are?
- Be in charge of the health of your Body and Mind?
- Develop inner stillness and tranquillity?
- Learn to be in tandem with The Universe?
In these days of busy lifestyle, we need to know how to manage all life's challenges harmoniously. To do that, we must align both our body & mind to be at peace with each other. Only with a happy body-mind complex and wisdom, can all of us achieve and lead fulfilled lives.
Living Vedanta combines the teachings of Vedic scriptures with the traditions of Yoga to give you a path to understand your body, your mind, your life, its challenges and your True Self. Simply put, Living Vedanta means to gain knowledge and lead your life holistically in accordance with ageless Vedic wisdom. We learn and understand the deeper meaning of values and values based living as illustrated by great Masters
Who is Living Vedanta
Teachers -
We are practitioners of Yoga and Vedanta who have formally studied in the tradition and have been teaching for over 20 years. We are based in the UK.
Students -
We are a group of like-minded individuals learning and striving to live the teachings of Adi Sankaracharya’s Advaita (non- dual) philosophy.
Knowledge is passed on. Students in time become teachers.
Our Motto -
Learning is not for Information but for Transformation
Through the learning we can and must transform. Thoughts become words. Words become actions. Actions become habits. Habits make character. Character defines destiny
Change the thought…….to change the destiny. This is intelligent living.
We study and teach Vedanta texts in English with embedded Sanskrit terms so you have a flavour of the richness and a base for further study (if you choose to) without hindering your growth due to lack of Sanskrit knowledge.
We follow the Sivananda School of Yoga to teach simple and effective yoga practices that you can make your own. Yoga brings two fold advantages; the discipline of maintaining a healthy body and one pointedness of mind to achieve your goals.
Living Vedanta integrates spiritual teaching and yoga practice in keeping with the Vedic tradition. It is our compass for moving joyfully forward in life.
