Vedanta & Sanskrit course

Namaste.

We have received the quarterly newsletter from Arsha Vijnana Gurukulam last week. Swamini Svatmavidyananda ji , the disciple of Pujya Swami Dayananda ji, is the head of this Ashrama. Swaminiji has come to Milwaukee last year and we had the good opportunity to learn few verses in Kaivalyopanishad in detail with great insight from Swaminiji. Swaminiji has very nicely expounded the Upanishad with insightful examples and practical perspectives.

Swaminiji conducts regular online classes in which the students can participate remotely live and ask questions. This year starting from mid-december, Swaminiji is conducting a online Vedanta and Sanskrit Course , the details of which are below. Upon successful completion, students can earn certificate.
