Vedanta Prakriya – Spiritual Awakening

The Vedanta Prakriya are the awakening teachings of Vedantarama. Spiritual Awakening means: ‘Coming to appreciate the inner subtlety of yourself and the divinity of existence.’

Awakening responds to three principal questions:

Who am I?
What is this life?
What is God?

The term prakriya means method. Our teacher created these 12 original teachings to express the core Vedanta knowledge in a sequence of steps. Beyond this prakriya two further series of more advanced teachings are also in place for our members.

The Spiritual Awakening teachings are presented as audio recordings and transcripts, capturing live sessions given to a group of students. They include the discourses themselves and the subsequent spiritual conversations that occurred. The recordings are rich and energetic resources to study the powerful beauty of Vedanta.

Studying the teachings

To study these prakriya chapters is to engage in Jnana meaning the assimlation of knowledge. Assimilation is an active word. The information is not a passive story it is an invitation to engage. This means listen with care and intelligence to what is said and listen multiple times. Identify the core components for yourself, the things that fascinate, perplex or intrigue you. Make some private notes and actively work with the information reflecting on the implication and meaning. keep it in your mind as you go about life and view the world from this position. There will be questions and doubts. These must be identified and solutions to them found either in yourself, in the sources of vedanta, by discussing them with like-minded people or by contacting teachers. Read supporting vedanta material and enhance all the above with meditation positive life habits and general spiritual practices. This is Jnana. This is vedanta prakriya. This is spiritual awakening
