The Essence of Advaita Vedanta Parts 1 & 2

These episodes aired circa 2002. Our guest for these was a man I truly admired & loved. Swami Yogeshananda was a dear soul who lived a simple life, and attempted to open up the lines of communication that would facilitate deep dialogue. He was greatly instrumental in the seminal days of Interfaith Dialogue Association, a few years before my time.As you'll hear, we kinda sorta stole the name of our show from him.Swami spent many years at a Hindu Ashram in Ganges, Michigan. Yes, Virginia. There is a town called Ganges in Michigan, and there is a Hindu ashram there (Vivekananda Monastery). Later on Swami moved to Atlanta. In the last few years we did lose touch. I just found that he passed away in 2019. He always was moving toward The Light.In these conversations we discuss the basics of Advaita Vedanta, the Hindu philosophy of Absolute Oneness. It's a hefty subject that Yogeshananda is able to explain better than most in terms most can understand.Do listen to this blessed soul. Theme music "Nigal."
