A rare and private gathering with one of the greatest philosophers of our time: Swami Parthasarathy

 

Students at the Vedanta Academy are always excited for 'an informal' with Swamiji, where he spontaneously highlights a particular idea or practice for them.  We are happy to bring the 'informal' experience to SoCal.

TESTIMONIALS

“As part of my “second half of life” journey and exploration, I spent a week at the Vedanta Academy in India.  Swamiji, the content of his teaching and the wisdom it contains increased my awareness and gave me the tools to better manage my life moving forward.  Having the conscious framework of the Body, Mind and Intellect to help guide my thoughts and actions, I have more personal clarity and contentment.  I AM having everything in life I want as I help and serve enough others get what they want!”

- Alex Pettes, President, TFI Food Equipment Solutions, Canada,
 YPO, Toronto

"Understanding 'SELF' is empowering. It transforms relationships and enhances the quality of life.  Swamiji's candour, energy, enthusiasm and examples that one can relate to simplified complex concepts. It facilitated the adoption and implementation of ancient wisdom in modern times."
- Charan Kumar, Partner Collins Barrow Toronto LLP, Canada

“Business schools teach you the mechanics of negotiation. They don’t teach you how to use your mind and your intellect to transact. It’s all about case studies. You don’t get to study the person or learn about how your inside works and how you relate to the world.”
- Reza Etedali, Reza Investment Group, Forbes Magazine
 

"Attending a retreat with Swamiji was challenging, enlightening and transforming. Swamiji is a great guide into yourself and humanity."
-
Kevin Eyres, Former MD LinkedIn Europe, Mentor for UK Trade & Investment, UK

"Time spent with Swamiji and Vedanta allows you to remove the veil through which you experience everyday life and become exposed to a world of positive living, action and peace."
- Ajen Sita, CEO Ernst & Young Africa, South Africa

“A wonderful and unforgettable experience to help educate us away from the stress and strain of modern life toward life’s true gift of living only for the present.”

- Matt Kenton, Investment Banker Nomura, UK

“I attribute my studies (of Vedanta) to improving the skills I need as a leader. My clarity of purpose is sharper than it has ever been in my life.”

- Larry Moon, Chairman and CEO of Sandstone Group,
 quoted in Forbes Magazine
