Sadāśiva-samārambhām Śaṅkarācārya-madhyamām Asmad-ācārya-paryantām vande guru-paramparām.
Through this blog, Shri L. Ramaswamy intends to express his understanding of Vedantic concepts as learned from Swami Parthasarathy and other sources. Elevating and inspiring thoughts from other great thinkers, authors, orators, and spiritualists will also be reproduced here, with due acknowledgment and permission wherever required. The aim is to enhance clarity and deepen understanding.
A general recommendation for spiritual seekers is to approach the subject with both head and heart — that is, with intellectual understanding supported by a feeling of devotion. This approach helps us use the knowledge to evolve further, rather than becoming entangled in dry intellectualism.
