VEDANTIN is the inspiration of a few alumni of the Vedanta Academy, to share the practical wisdom of Vedanta with seekers of self-development. Vedanta presents a timeless manual for living. It equips us with clarity of intellect to navigate life’s challenges and relationships. It takes us shoulder-to-shoulder to higher stages of joy and dynamism culminating in Absolute Fulfilment.
The lectures, courses and retreats are based on the works of Swami A. Parthasarathy, one of the greatest thinkers of our time. They are presented with structure, logic and pragmatism tailored to the public, youth, corporates and leaders.

Vedanta is a Sanskrit word which literally translates to “end of knowledge”. Veda means knowledge and Anta means end. It is a philosophy which enunciates the eternal principles of life and living. Living is an art, a skill, a technique. We need to learn and practise the technique of living as we would for playing a musical instrument or flying an aircraft.
Vedanta teaches us the technique of living that enables us to live a dynamic life of action while enjoying perfect peace and happiness within. Vedanta also provides the fundamental principles required to build sound and healthy relationships.
The trend around the world is to turn to philosophy after retirement. While Vedanta is beneficial to people of all ages, it is most beneficial at the start of life. It helps us decide our life’s goal, how to have a fulfilling career, and how to ensure we have healthy and warm relationships. Why wait until the latter part of life to learn these principles?
There is a general misconception that Vedanta philosophy requires you to resign and retire from life. To lead the life of an ascetic. This is not true. Vedanta does not advocate anyone live a life of resignation. It ironically teaches the technique of dynamic living.
Vedanta provides us with the principles to stay productive and happy in the constantly changing business environment. It provides the three ingredients of success - concentration, consistency and cooperation through the development of the intellect.
The faculty wear the uniform designed by the Vedanta Academy in India. The uniform is comfortable and is traditional Indian formal attire. It would be comparable to the use of a suit in the West. This uniform aligns to the principle of 'simple living, higher thinking'.
Vedanta helps us understand the fundamental human disciplines that help build sound and healthy relationships. It also helps us expand our circle of identification so we can live in harmony with all.
Vedanta is a philosophy that is to be practised not by going to a place of worship, but rather in our everyday life: at school, at work and at home. Vedanta does discuss the meaning of God and the significance of God in our lives in a logical manner that is free of superstition and blind faith. It encourages the questioning of all beliefs and advises us to not take anything at face value. The principles of Vedanta were born in ancient India, but do not belong to any one country, race or religion. The principles are eternal, universal and stand on their own merit.
