What is Himalayan philosophy?
The Himalayas span over six countries including the ancient lands of India, China, and Tibet. The origins of a number of major Eastern philosophies arose from this fertile region. Although Dr. Jayaram draws from several philosophies of this area, he most often focuses on Indian, Chinese, and Tibetan systems such as Vedanta, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and Confucianism.
What is Vedanta?
Vedanta is the underlying philosophy of Hinduism, traditionally known as Sanatana Dharma. Vedanta is often translated as the culmination of knowledge. Vedanta is classically given by three works: the Upanishads, the Brahmasutra, and the Bhagavad Gita. The Upanishads are the philosophical portions of the Vedas, often in the context of a discourse between student and teacher. The Brahmasutra is composed by Vyasa, describing the intricate details of Vedanta philosophy. The Bhagavad Gita offers the quintessential beauty of Vedanta and is the most practical of the three.
