Hindu
Philosophy
I teach Philosophy/religion to 9th and 10th graders at Chinmaya
Avantika. We follow the Hindu
Philosophy
called Vedanta
(Veda Anta: Veda
is the
sacred book of knowledge and means end)
laid out in the
Upanishads
which are literally at the end of the sacred book Veda.
There are
four Vedas (written
over a long period of time) and 108 or so Upanishads.
Idea is rather simple "Everything is the same Divine, including the
inert". The goal of the spirtual development for any person is to
relaize that one-ness with everything and live in the harmony and
contentment of that everpresent Divinity. The path to achieve this goal is to train
the body, mind and intellect to gear towards "Selfless actions
full of compassion and knowing well that we are all one". Karma
Yoga is
the process by which we replace the selfish actions by selfless
or less selfish actions, Bhakti
Yoga is the process by which we bring compassion and devotion in
our hearts and mind for everybody and everything and Jnana
(Gyana) yoga
is the process by which we bring the knowledge of one-ness into our
thought process through constant meditation. If you are interested in
knowing more about this philosophy then read following two books (Kindle
Life and Self-Unfoldment)
by Swami Chinmayananda, founder of the Chinmaya
Mission.
Carnatic Music
I also sing Carantic Indian Music (a
Southern Indian Style of Music) which builds on divine qualities
of God and leads one to achieve the one-ness with that divine through
love and compassion. For more information about this style of music
