“ Living in harmony with the universe is being one with God”
Swami Viditatmananda Saraswati
Listen to Swami Viditatmananda’s Southern California talks
Swami Viditatmananda Saraswati will be returning to Southern California to give three talks this year in San Diego and Orange County.
Swami Viditatmananda is the senior ācārya (teacher) and president of the Arsha Vidya Gurukulam in the US, founded by Pujya Swami Dayananda. Swamiji’s depth of vision and scholarship, coupled with his gentle and direct communication style enables him to clearly unfold the transformative teachings of the sages of ancient India in a manner that is immediately accessible and relevant to our daily lives.
During his discourses Swamiji leads us through an exploration of the realities of our everyday experiences, enabling us to see life through his eyes, and thereby begin to directly recognize our innate peace and joy, and our inherent non-separateness from the sacred.
Come share an evening with this Mahatma, this extraordinary soul, and discover your innate potential to meet life with purpose and joy
Talks are in English. Admission is free.

Śrī Dakṣiṇāmūrti Stotram is beautiful poem and prayer addressed to Īśvara, the source of all that is, who is presented in the form of teacher. The author Ādi Śaṅkarācārya succinctly unfolds the vision of non-duality in ten verses, exploring the erroneous assumptions we make about ourselves and the world which lead to suffering.
This stotra is an important work within the advaita tradition, presenting a number of the essential prakriyā-s or teaching approaches which guide a student to clarity regarding his or her innate wholeness and non-separateness from the sacred.
