Online Vedanta    
 

Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda, the founder of the Chinmaya Mission initiated a unique method to study the essence of Vedanta, in the form of easy lessons, without any books, at home. He specially designed this course to cater to the different types of students all over the world for the subjective development of their personality without interfering with their official, social or domestic commitments.

    There is no need for one to change faith, religion or spiritual master to do this course. Any one irrespective of caste, creed, religion or nationality can do this course. If this course were faithfully followed, one would gain sufficient maturity and spiritual stability leading to one's personality unfoldment.

    This Foundation Vedanta Course is available through both the mail and e-mail modes. The materials of study for both courses are the same, whether correspondence is via mail or e-mail.
