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.

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.
