They are the basis of the seeking of liberation and Self-realization in the Yoga tradition. In...
Our True Self as the Space of Consciousness (Chidakasha)
October 07,2020 / Articles on Vedic Management New Articles by David Frawley / 0 CommentsIn Vedanta the Self or Atman is commonly defined as space (kham, akasha). That space (akasha) is further defined as bliss (Ananda). What is the nature of this space that is the Self? Clearly it is not what we ordinarily know of as space or experience as ourselves. Our inner Self holds the entire universe in the small space within the spiritual heart (Hridaya). This is a space of Consciousness (Chidakasha) behind all manifestation in the...

Ananda: What is its True Meaning?
September 28,2020 / Articles on Vedic Counseling New Articles by David Frawley / 0 CommentsAnanda is one of the key terms of Yoga and Vedanta, and like many of the others very much misunderstood. Ananda is translated as bliss though it has no real equivalent in the English language. Bliss is at best a helpful approximation but can also be misleading. Ananda is composed of the prefix 'aa' indicating superlative nature, and nanda meaning joy, happiness, contentment or delight. In other words, it is a deeper and timeless...
Mind as Your Best Friend or Worst Enemy
September 25,2020 / Articles on Vedic Counseling / 0 CommentsYour own mind is your best friend or worst enemy, depending upon how you relate to it.
