Note
you just posted a blog where you explain that we shouldn't trust pointers. I abandoned the obligations thinking that at some point I would achieve absolute knowledge and finally change my experience, but that never happened. I've had the wrong perception this whole time, right?
a hug!
you've been seeing it through the lens of a person gaining something or reaching “absolute knowledge,” which only reinforces the idea of separation, lack and continuity. The point is not to attain something, but to see that experience itself, and “who” experiences, aren’t separate. It’s not about abandoning or achieving but recognizing that everything you’re looking for is here

Advaita Vedanta: Dissolving the Illusion of Separation
Hook
Advaita Vedanta, an influential philosophical tradition within Hinduism, offers profound insights into the nature of reality, consciousness, and the self. Central to its teachings is the principle of non-duality (Advaita), which asserts that the essence of all existence is singular and undivided. This philosophy challenges the perception of separation and duality, proposing that the individual soul (Atman) is one with the ultimate reality (Brahman). This article will explore the core concepts of Advaita Vedanta and discuss how its principles can be applied in the business world to foster unity, ethical practices, and collaborative success. Additionally, we will provide a practical toolkit for integrating these principles into everyday business operations.
Understanding Advaita Vedanta
Advaita Vedanta posits that the world we perceive through our senses is an illusion (Maya), which veils the true nature of reality. This illusion creates a sense of separation between the self and the rest of the universe, leading to dualistic thinking. According to Advaita Vedanta, the ultimate reality, Brahman, is beyond all attributes and forms and is the singular, infinite essence of all existence.
The realization of this non-dualistic truth requires transcending the ego and recognizing that the individual self (Atman) is not separate from Brahman. This self-realization dissolves the illusion of separation and reveals the interconnectedness of all beings. It is a transformative insight that has profound implications for how we live our lives and interact with the world around us.
Relevance in Business
In the business context, the principles of Advaita Vedanta can inspire a shift from competitive, ego-driven practices to a more collaborative, ethical, and holistic approach. By embracing the concept of oneness, businesses can foster a culture of unity, mutual respect, and shared success. Here are some ways these principles can be incorporated into business practices:
Cultivating Unity and Collaboration
Advaita Vedanta teaches that all individuals are interconnected parts of a greater whole. By fostering a sense of unity among employees, businesses can create an environment where teamwork and collaboration thrive. Encouraging open communication, collective problem-solving, and a shared vision can help break down silos and promote a more cohesive organizational culture.
Promoting Ethical Leadership
Leaders who embody the principles of non-duality can inspire trust, integrity, and ethical behavior throughout the organization. Ethical leadership involves making decisions that consider the well-being of all stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, and the community. By prioritizing ethical practices, businesses can build a strong reputation and achieve sustainable success.
Fostering Innovation and Creativity
The recognition of interconnectedness can lead to a more inclusive approach to innovation and creativity. By valuing diverse perspectives and encouraging the free flow of ideas, businesses can tap into the collective wisdom of their teams. This can lead to more innovative solutions and a greater ability to adapt to changing market conditions.
Practical Toolkit for Incorporating Advaita Vedanta Principles in Business
To help businesses integrate the principles of Advaita Vedanta, we have created a practical toolkit that includes actionable steps and strategies.
Mindfulness Practices
Meditation Sessions: Introduce regular meditation sessions to help employees cultivate self-awareness and emotional intelligence. Meditation can reduce stress, enhance focus, and promote a deeper understanding of non-dualistic principles.
Mindfulness Training: Offer training programs that teach mindfulness techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and mindful listening. These practices can improve concentration, foster empathy, and enhance overall well-being.
Collaborative Decision-Making
Inclusive Meetings: Ensure that meetings are inclusive and provide opportunities for all voices to be heard. Encourage open dialogue and create a safe space for employees to share their ideas and concerns.
Consensus Building: Implement consensus-building techniques to make decisions that reflect the collective wisdom of the team. This can involve facilitated discussions, round-table debates, and voting processes that prioritize unity and collaboration.
Ethical Business Practices
Code of Ethics: Develop a comprehensive code of ethics that outlines the company's commitment to fairness, transparency, and social responsibility. Ensure that all employees are familiar with these guidelines and understand their importance.
Sustainable Practices: Adopt sustainable business practices that minimize environmental impact and promote social responsibility. This can include ethical sourcing, waste reduction, and community engagement initiatives.
Leadership Development Programs
Values-Based Leadership Training: Offer leadership training programs that focus on cultivating values-based leadership skills. Emphasize the importance of integrity, empathy, and ethical decision-making.
Mentorship Opportunities: Create mentorship programs that pair emerging leaders with experienced mentors who embody the principles of non-duality. These relationships can provide guidance, support, and inspiration for future leaders.
Food For Thought
Advaita Vedanta provides a powerful framework for understanding the true nature of reality and our place within it. By dissolving the illusion of separation and recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings, we can foster a more harmonious, ethical, and collaborative approach to business. Through mindfulness practices, collaborative decision-making, ethical business practices, and leadership development programs, businesses can integrate the timeless wisdom of Advaita Vedanta into their operations. This not only enhances organizational culture and performance but also contributes to a more sustainable and equitable world. Embracing these principles can lead to profound transformations in both personal and professional realms, unlocking new levels of success and fulfillment.

When the question 'Who am I?' is followed innocently, purely, all the way back to its source, there is a huge, astounding realization: There is no entity there at all! There is only the indefinable, boundless recognition of yourself as inseparable from anything else. You are free. You are whole. You are endless. There is no bottom to you, no boundary to you. Any idea about yourself appears in you and will disappear back into you. You are awareness, and awareness is consciousness. — Gangaji #Satsang #Advaita #AdvaitaVedanta #NisargaYoga #WhoAmI #Gangaji (at New Haven Zen Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClqY5w5OOzF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

DEFINING HINDUISM
Though I've been an atheist and still am one. Being born into a Hindu family has always made me proud. And the reason for this is that, after decades of research on spiritualism, particularly how it began and evolved from India through the Hindus, I've concluded. Hinduism is more than just a religion. So, if you're interested in understanding more about Hinduism and its nuances, let me tell you about my understanding of Hinduism.
In my view, a Hindu is an atheist, polytheist, monotheist, and henotheist. He is henotheistic because he believes in only one God yet acknowledges the presence of other deities and subsidiary gods. For example, while Shiva is the most superior Hindu god, Hindus also worship many other lesser gods to whom there is no end or limit. This means that a Hindu can pray to anything around - a tree, a cow, a mountain, a stone or a river.
This distinguishes Hinduism from all other religions. It is a philosophy, even though now muddled up with supernatural beliefs and traditions. Hinduism cannot be called a religion. It's a way of life for them. It arose from various interconnected thoughts such as demographics, cultural practices, and ancient philosophical scriptures and teachings.
It evolved over thousands of years and is the oldest known religion globally. All beliefs and myths add up from one generation to another—philosophers, pundits, commentators, interpreters, gurus, etc.
Each of them comes up with their names, concepts, and supernatural beliefs. Many religions, including a subset of religions, have been influenced by Hinduism, including Sikhism, Jainism, Buddhism, etc. I'd go so far as to say it's the mother of all religions.
According to Yajurveda, "All living beings are equally divine." As a result, when all living creatures are equally divine, and the Hindu religion accepts everyone and allows other religions to coexist in its embrace, it must have been the mother of all ideologies.
Add to that the fact that there is no conversion in Hinduism from one religion to another. It also doesn't have a founder or any precepts. It consists solely of Mahavakyas or great sayings.
The Hindus in Hinduism
Let's take a closer look at the term "Hindu." The Persians coined the term "Hindu," which they used to describe the people who lived beyond the Shindus River. They couldn't distinguish between the sounds "SA" and "Ha" when pronouncing the word Sindhu, So Sindhu turned Hindu.
As you must have noticed, there is no -ism in it. The term "Hinduism," which relates to the Hindu people's religion, was coined later. They could not understand its true nature as an outsider looking in and just called it a religion. Hinduism is a way of life, not a religion, to realise one's full potential.
God in Hinduism is that of pure consciousness. A final destination for Aatma (the soul) to realise absolute awareness. In Hinduism, unlike any other faith, the Creator and creation are the same. There is no distinction. Since you have that divinity within you, you are that potential divine. This means God is the highest state of pure consciousness to liberate the human body and mind we call Moksha.
The above implies that the divine exists because of you, the earth exists because of you, the universe exists because of you, and everything exists because of your aware-conscious energy contained in the soul. You, as the potential divine, came first, and god followed.
The Knowledge of Self
In Hinduism, this is what is divine. So, with this spiritual knowledge, the most crucial thing in life is not to follow traditions but self-knowledge for that self-awakening to realise self-awareness of who we are beyond body and mind. This self-awareness teaches you that God, Guru, and the Self are one. Advaita Vedanta is the name given to that absolute non-dual state of aware energy; the supreme ability of energy - Brahman referred to as Parabrahman or Paramatma; par meaning beyond.
All of this sprang from four Upanishad mahavakyas. When they declared, "Prajnanam Brahma," - Insight is the creator of everything in the cosmos (Brahman). The second, "Ayam Aatman Brahma", is Brahman - the Soul, which contains the spirit. Third, "Tat Tvam Asi" - That art Thou, and the fourth is "Aham Bhramasmi," which means "I am that Brahman, the one in many and the many in One - total energy.
The Vedas are the foundational texts of Hinduism; it concludes with Advaita Vedanta, which is the essence and philosophical knowledge of the Upanishads.
Let us now consider how supreme and sublime the entire concept of Hinduism's scriptures is. Perhaps this is why the Upanishads offered us four life goals to follow.
These four goals in life are Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha.
· One of the numerous meanings of Dharma is righteousness, which means the divine order of the human person.
· The second purpose is Artha, which aims for economic growth.
· The Kama is the third. It is to fulfil your essential desires and, finally, to be satisfied.
· The ultimate objective for Hindus is to achieve Moksha or liberation.
Sanatan Dharma is the actual name of Hinduism. Sanatana is Sanskrit for "eternal law." And Dharma is the order of righteousness, formed by combining two words into one.
As to how?
Dharma refers to how you should live, whereas karma refers to how you are already living, with the Sanatan – eternal laws filling in the gaps.
The universal law of eternity, the universal rule of righteousness, the universal law of non-duality, where there is no duality or relativity; because the truth, God, and everything else is related towards duality in our mind to its opposite?
All you need to do now is awaken that God, the Atma, in the centre. So that the soul can check and guide the mind to make it alert, attentive and aware to progress from lower to higher consciousness towards non-duality in absoluteness for that ultimate fulfilment.
Therefore, Hinduism is different from all other religions. It teaches you that salvation is found more in your religiousness, devoutness in religiosity. To awaken and liberate from the clutches of the material mind experiencing to realise that the God Guru and the actual Self are lying dormant within.
Namaste, and thank you once again for giving me your precious time.

The Ultimate Reality: Brahman in Advaita Vedanta
Hook:
Advaita Vedanta, a cornerstone of Hindu philosophy, presents a profound understanding of reality and consciousness. Central to its teachings is the concept of Brahman, the ultimate reality that transcends all forms and attributes. This article will explore the essence of Brahman in Advaita Vedanta and how businesses can integrate these principles to foster a culture of unity, ethical practices, and sustainable success. Additionally, we will provide a practical toolkit for incorporating these insights into everyday business operations.
Understanding Brahman in Advaita Vedanta:
Advaita Vedanta, meaning "non-dualism," posits that the perceived world of diversity and multiplicity is an illusion (Maya). According to this philosophy, the ultimate reality is Brahman, which is infinite, eternal, and beyond all dualities. Brahman is the substratum of all existence, the source from which everything emanates, and the essence that pervades the universe.
In Advaita Vedanta, the individual soul (Atman) is not separate from Brahman but is Brahman itself. The realization of this non-dualistic truth, known as self-realization or enlightenment, involves transcending the ego and recognizing one's true nature as Brahman. This realization dissolves the illusion of separateness and reveals the interconnectedness of all beings.
Relevance in Business:
In the context of business, the principles of Advaita Vedanta can inspire a shift from competitive, ego-driven practices to a more collaborative, ethical, and holistic approach. By embracing the concept of oneness, businesses can create environments that foster unity, mutual respect, and shared success.
Incorporating Advaita Vedanta Principles in Business:
Cultivating Unity and Collaboration:
Understanding that all individuals are interconnected parts of a greater whole can foster a culture of teamwork and collaboration. By emphasizing shared goals and values, businesses can break down silos and promote a more cohesive organizational culture.
Promoting Ethical Leadership:
Leaders who embody the principles of non-duality can inspire trust, integrity, and ethical behaviour throughout the organization. Ethical leadership involves making decisions that consider the well-being of all stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, and the community.
Fostering Innovation and Creativity:
Recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings can lead to a more inclusive approach to innovation and creativity. By valuing diverse perspectives and encouraging open dialogue, businesses can tap into the collective wisdom of their teams, leading to more innovative solutions and greater adaptability.
Practical Toolkit for Incorporating Advaita Vedanta Principles in Business:
Mindfulness Practices:
Meditation Sessions: Introduce regular meditation sessions to help employees cultivate self-awareness and emotional intelligence. Meditation can reduce stress, enhance focus, and promote a deeper understanding of non-dualistic principles.
Mindfulness Training: Offer training programs that teach mindfulness techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and mindful listening. These practices can improve concentration, foster empathy, and enhance overall well-being.

Code of Ethics: Develop a comprehensive code of ethics that outlines the company's commitment to fairness, transparency, and social responsibility. Ensure that all employees are familiar with these guidelines and understand their importance.
Sustainable Practices: Adopt sustainable business practices that minimize environmental impact and promote social responsibility. This can include ethical sourcing, waste reduction, and community engagement initiatives.

Where Am I?
Consider this: before any experience, thought, or sensation arises, what is already here? Without rushing to answer, just look. Any answer that appears—whether it’s a thought, an image, or a feeling—doesn’t come before the "awareness" of it, does it?
Now, try to locate this "Awareness", this sense of "Being", "Knowing".. Can you find a place where it begins? Look around as if you’re searching for its edges, its source. And yet, every attempt to find it or measure it happens within it. Isn’t it strange? If there’s nothing separate from "Awareness" in which you can “place” it, then where is it?
If this "Awareness" has no true location, then it seems to lie outside the concept of place altogether. And yet, it’s undeniably here, no?This presence—whatever you call it—is here before you name it, define it, or try to grasp it. It’s here, even as words like "Awareness" or "Being" appear in it.
Now consider: can anything at all arise—whether a thought, sensation, or even an idea of location—without first being "Known"? Can you truly imagine a thing, a sensation, or an experience that is completely outside of or prior to this "Knowing"? If not, then is "Awareness" not the prerequisite (requirement) to everything you encounter?
And yet, words like “Awareness” or “Knowing” can never fully capture this. They’re only labels applied within it, arising and dissolving like waves in an ocean. So ask yourself, without clinging to any name: what is this nameless, locationless presence that’s already here, underlying everything? Look deeply, and you may find that it’s simply what is, without need of a label or place.
So, Where Am I? Who Am I? What Am I?

Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand):
Like Shirshasana, Sarvangasana is an inverted pose that promotes improved blood circulation and stimulates the thyroid gland. It also engages the core and strengthens the shoulders and arms.

Tradução pt-br:
Anon: "Oi, eu estive pesquisando muito e revisando antigas escrituras do Advaita Vedanta. Eu encontrei um conceito chamado 'nirvana/moksha'. Um dos gurus que acredita-se ser uma alma iluminada, Shri Shivkrupanand Swami, disse antes que moksha é vital para cada alma. Depois de muita pesquisa, descobri que moksha pode ser alcançado enquanto você está vivo também. (Desculpe se isso não faz sentido, já que estou apenas começando a entender tudo pouco a pouco.)
Então, você já alcançou moksha?
E moksha significa estar iluminado?
Além disso, depois que eu atingir moksha, eu sempre estarei zen e calmo e serei como um monge? Eu não sentiria mais alegria nas coisas que gosto agora? Muito obrigado."
Resposta de i-amyou:
Pessoalmente, eu nunca pesquisei intensivamente sobre a filosofia em si, e ela não é nada além de um indicador de qualquer maneira, e não é absolutamente necessário para atingir esse chamado estado de MOKSHA. Mas para te responder com minha própria compreensão e experiência;
O que chamamos de Moksha, autorrealização ou Iluminação, Nirvana, seja o que for, é apenas um indicador, apontando para qual é a sua verdadeira natureza. Na verdade, aponta para um fato simples: que há algo além desta realidade. Além de todos os véus e camadas ilusórios, 'um estado' do seu verdadeiro e honesto SER. Mas, fundamentalmente, não há ninguém para passar por Moksha ou pela chamada iluminação, porque não houve uma pessoa para começar.
Tudo se resume a uma sutil realização de que você sempre foi LIVRE e além desta ilusão de ser uma pessoa que precisa participar do mundo. Que é o seu sonho. E isso absolutamente não significa que você tenha que abandonar as 'coisas' que trazem a você felicidade e alegria.
Trata-se de EXPERIENCIAR LIVREMENTE tudo o que você deseja, SABENDO que isso não tem a capacidade de afetar intrinsecamente seu Ser. Que não é nada além de seu EU que você experiencia.
Espero que isso responda à sua pergunta <33
hii, so ive been researching a lot and going through old scriptures of advaita vedanta. ive come across a concept called 'nirvana/moksha'. one of the gurus who's believed to be an enlightened soul 'shri shivkrupanand swami' has said before that moksha is vital for every soul.
after a lot of research, i found out that moksha can be attained while you are alive as well. (im sorry if this doesn't make sense at all since im just getting to know everything bit by bit) so have you attained moksha? and does moksha mean being enlightened?
also, after i attain moksha, will i always be zen and calm and be like a monk? like would i no longer feel bliss in things which i fancy now? tysm.
Hello,
Personally I've never intensively researched the philosophy itself, and it's nothing but a pointer anyways and it's absolutely not necessary to attain this so called state of MOKSHA. But to answer you with my own understanding and experience;
What we call Moksha, self-realisation, or Enlightenment, Nirvana, whatever, is just a pointer, pointing towards what your true nature is. It all points towards a simple fact that there is something beyond this reality. Beyond all the illusory veils and layers, 'A state' of your true honest BEING. But fundamentally here's no one to go through Moksha or so called enlightenment, because there was no person to begin with.
It all boils down to a subtle realisation that you've always been FREE and beyond this illusion of being a person who needs to participate in the world. That it's your dream. And it absolutely does not mean you have to abandon the 'things' that bring you bliss and joy.
It's about FREELY experiencing all that you want, KNOWING that it does not have the ability to inherently affect your Being. That it is nothing but yourSELF that you experience.
Hope that answers your question <33
