Three-year course at the Vedanta Academy

Introduction

The Vedanta Academy offers continual three year full-time residential courses for students from all over the world regardless of race or religion. The curriculum, composed and conducted by Swami Parthasarathy, includes in-depth analysis of a range of texts expounding Vedanta Philosophy. The study is complemented by select works from English literature and poetry. The course also includes a module for training students in Sanskrit language and verses. On completion, graduates are awarded a diploma in Vedantic Philosophy.

Course schedule

With no weekends and vacations, the course is carefully designed to instil disciplines for the body, mind and intellect for comprehensive development of the personality. To develop the physical body students engage in yoga, gym, sports and jogging. The mind is catered to through devotional singing and a selection of prayers. However, the central focus at the Academy is the development of the intellect through lecture, audio and video presentation, group discussion and individual study. All examinations are open book to focus on understanding rather than memorising the knowledge presented.
