Acharya Vasudhaji will deliver a talk on ”Ancient wisdom, modern application” based on the essential teachings of Adi Shankara.

Avail of this opportunity to know and understand one of the most influential thinkers the world has seen in the field of Advaita Vedanta. The existence of the Vedas and ‘Vaidik Dharma’ in India today, is due to Adi Shankaracharya, who is considered “The Revivalist”. But do the teachings have any relevance today ? Is it of any significance to know them ? How does it contribute in resolving modern day issues ?

Come. Let us meet and explore to find out more on these lines with our Acharya.

Gratitude to the Guru

नमस्तस्मै सदैकस्मै कस्मैचिन्महस्मै नमः |
यदेत द्विश्वरुपेन राजते गुरुराजते ||

"Salutations to you O Prince among Teachers, who are indefinable greatness, who are ever the same, who manifest as this entire universe. To you my salutations."

That one infinite Reality which is the same everywhere, which has come in the form of the Guru, to that my 'namaskaras'. O teacher, who revel in the form of the Vishvarupa, my prostrations. These are words of adoration, expressions of a students' gratitude to the Teacher who has initiated her into the science of Reality.

An Inner Journey Through The Seven Chakras

A meditation session on the Seven Chakras was held in Shanishwara temple, Nerul on April 8, 2012. This comprehensive guided meditation to harmonizing the Chakras with music, colors and breathing techniques was well attended by people in Navi Mumbai. Purpose was to help understand the capabilities hidden in our innermost being, to realize the full potential for happiness and creativity.


“It was a beautiful experience; I was lost in the world of colors and the amazing music. I surely look forward to similar experiences with Vasudhaji in the future” said Dr. Sangita Bansode, one of the participants.


“It was a feeling of complete bliss and fulfillment. My energy levels were high and I carried a feeling of positivity throughout the day.” commented Ms. Girija Shankar , one who has been regularly following Acharya Vasudhaji’s discourses.


“A truly peaceful and invigorating experience. Peace amidst chaos” voiced Ms. Beena Nair, a participant from Sanpada.

Shri Dakshinamurthy

चित्रं वटतरोर्मुले वृद्धशिष्या गुरुर्युवा | 

गुरोस्तु मौनं व्याख्यानं शिष्यास्तु छिन्नसंशयाः ||

Chitram vatatharormule vruddhashishyaa gururyuvaah | 

Gurostu maunam  vyaakhyanam shishyaastu chinnasamshayah ||

Behold under the Banyan are seated the aged disciples around and about their youthful teacher. It is wondrous indeed: the teacher instructs through silence, which in itself removes all the doubts arising in the disciples minds.

Shri Dakshinamurthy is a form of Lord Shiva. He teaches in silence (and yet) the students are freed from all doubts (about the Truth). Teaching imparted in Silence has traditiionally been regarded as the best method to reveal the truth of Atman (The Self) which is all pervading Reality.
