Primary Upanishad Immersion

Welcome to an immersive journey into the depths of the 11 Primary Upanishads—an ancient reservoir of spiritual wisdom that has guided seekers for millennia. Rooted in the ancient Indian scriptures known as the Vedas, the Upanishads represent the pinnacle of philosophical thought and spiritual inquiry. These profound texts delve into the fundamental questions of existence, consciousness, and the nature of reality, offering timeless insights that resonate across cultures and generations.

I have been captivated by the deep wisdom contained within the Upanishads for years, and it is with reverence that I present this course. Inspired by the transformative power of these teachings, I have carefully crafted a journey that invites you to explore and experience their depth and richness firsthand. Together, we will unravel their mysteries, contemplate their profound truths, and uncover the timeless wisdom that lies at their core.

My hope is that this course will not only deepen your understanding of the Upanishads but also inspire transformation in your life. May you find illumination, clarity, and peace as you take this sacred journey into the heart of the Upanishadic wisdom.

Step into a transformative journey starting June 2024, as we delve into the sacred wisdom of the 11 primary Upanishads.

Every week, we'll immerse ourselves in a wealth of carefully curated resources, including pre-recorded lessons. These recordings feature Philosophy Lectures, Guided Meditations, Journal Prompts, Chanting Practices and Readings, offering a holistic approach to our exploration.

Every week, I welcome you to participate in our enriching 90-minute Live & Interactive Workshop. These sessions infuse vitality into the Upanishads as we engage in group practices, pooling our individual insights to foster Interactive Discussions and forge Community Connections—the heart of our program.

Life can be busy. That's why I ensure that every Live & Interactive Workshop is recorded. This ensures that everyone can reap the benefits of our rich discussions and practices, regardless of their availability to attend in real-time.
