Our Philosophy

Advaita Vedanta

Central tenet:
Reality is ultimately non-dual, meaning there is no fundamental distinction between the individual soul (Atman) and the ultimate reality (Brahman).
Brahman as Ultimate Reality:
Brahman is the unchanging, infinite, and eternal reality that underlies the entire universe.
It transcends all dualities and limitations, beyond time and space.
Atman and Brahman:
Atman, the individual soul, is considered identical in nature to Brahman. The true nature of each individual is the same as the nature of the ultimate reality.
Maya (Illusion):
Maya refers to the cosmic illusion that veils the true nature of reality. It causes individuals to perceive the world as separate and diverse rather than as a manifestation of the underlying unity (Brahman).
Three Levels of Reality (Tattvas):
Brahman: The absolute reality, beyond attributes and forms.
Jiva: The individual souls, seemingly distinct due to ignorance.
Jagat: The empirical world, which is a manifestation of Brahman through Maya.
Vedantic Texts:
Advaita philosophy is rooted in the Upanishads and is further developed in the commentaries of philosophers like Adi Shankaracharya.
Three States of Consciousness:
Jagrat (Wakefulness): The ordinary waking state of consciousness.
Swapna (Dream State): The state of consciousness during dreaming.
Sushupti (Deep Sleep): The state of dreamless sleep.
Self-Realization (Moksha):
The ultimate goal is to realize the non-dual nature of reality and the unity of Atman and Brahman.
Liberation (moksha) is achieved when ignorance is dispelled, and one realizes their true identity as Brahman.
Pathways to Liberation:
Jnana Yoga: The path of knowledge, involving the study of scriptures and contemplation to realize the unity of Atman and Brahman.
Bhakti Yoga: The path of devotion, surrendering to Brahman through devotion and love.
Karma Yoga: The path of selfless action, performing duties without attachment to outcomes.
Implications for Life:
Advaita philosophy encourages transcending worldly attachments and realizing the eternal nature of reality.
It promotes compassion, equanimity, and seeing the divine in all beings.

Our History

In the Vedic times, a selective group of the most intelligent individuals in Bharata Varsha had come together to form a priestly class , akin to a organizations like MENSA.
Their role encompassed education, philosophy, theology, and cultural preservation.
Any person who excelled intellectually became a member of the priestly caste.
Over thousands of years, the specific lifestyle, dietary practices, and traditions followed by Brahmins have potentially contributed to a unique genetic makeup.
These practices have been maintained across generations, resulting in distinct physical and physiological characteristics.
Over the course of millennia, Brahmins have made significant contributions to various fields, including philosophy, science, arts, literature, and spiritual guidance.
Encouraging awareness about the history, achievements, and significance of Brahmins can foster a deeper appreciation for their role in society
