Anju Arora will be conducting a Self Unfoldment study group in person at the Master’s School (in Westchester) on Sunday mornings.    To understand and appreciate Vedanta better, we begin with the introductory book of Self Unfoldment by Swami Chinmayananda. We often underestimate the study of any introductory book, because we are familiar with a lot of the terms due to our background. It is only when we discuss and dive deeper, we realize how many questions we still have about our true nature. Join us on a deeper journey to the Inner Self.    Our Gurudev, Swami Chinmayananda, expounds upon the fundamentals of Vedanta through His  lucid, exhaustive, clear, and logical language. Through the study of this book, seekers will build a strong foundation for further Vedantic study. In fact, one can even consider this book a complete manual to unfold themself and understand the true heart of Vedanta.

Ramayana Part 2 class description.

Based on Goswami TulsidasJi's Ramacharitamanas, the goal of this curriculum is  to make children aware that our capacity for knowledge depends on the caliber of our mind and intellect - and therefore, it is critical to quieten the mind and sharpen the intellect to be happy and succesful. And the way to do this is by assimilating the values described in the chaupais of the Ramacharitamanas - whereby we all can become an "address" of God.

Inspire children to act with fearlessness, humility, conviction and faith as did Sri HanumanJi. Instill the eight virtues (ashta-siddhi) of Lord Hanuman that make Him a Super SuperMan!
