Swami Dayananda Saraswati is a distinguished traditional teacher of Vedanta in the tradition of Śaṇkara. His depth of understanding and nuanced appreciation of both Eastern and Western cultures makes him that rare teacher who can communicate the vision of non-duality to modern listeners. He is able to make one see with immediacy the truth of oneself as the whole.
