What is Vedanta?
Vedanta is a means of knowing yourself. To know that which you essentially are. The source of this can be found in the ancient Vedic scriptures, such as the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita.

Vedanta study group
In a study group, a book on Vedanta is read and discussed one chapter at a time. "The Essence of Enlightenment" by James Swartz is very suitable for this. There is a Vedanta study group in Arnhem, among other places. If you live elsewhere, you can get in touch with other interested people through this site.
James Swartz
