"Krishna does not like to see His sincere devotee suffer or become frustrated or depressed. He will not stand idly by in any such case, so do not fear on that account. Krishna has got some plan for you, always think in that way, and very soon He will provide everything to your heart's desire." - Srila Prabhupada (Letter to: Tejiyas, Bombay, December 19, 1972)
Filmed outside Detroit in May, 2009, this incomparably unique and historically groundbreaking talk by Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya is the most authoritative, succinct and philosophically accurate account of Vedanta philosophy ever recorded.

Vedanta: The Culmination of Wisdom
The word "Veda" means knowledge, or wisdom. "Anta" means the culmination. The philosophical school of Vedanta represents the very highest teaching on the nature of man, God and creation in the whole of Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism). More, however, Vedanta represents…
"Actual speech is that which describes the qualities of the Lord, real hands are those that work for Him, a true mind is that which always remembers Him dwelling within everything moving and nonmoving, and actual ears are those that listen to sanctifying topics about Him." (Srimad Bhagavatam, 10.80.3)
Atman and Paramatman are two important Vedic concepts that are often misunderstood by many contemporary yogis and Dharmis. Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya explains to us authoritatively the full meaning of these two terms.

"The true spiritual path does not originate from petty subjective opinions or prejudices, but from the eternal Absolute Reality. The most destructive mistake that one can make spiritually is to try to mix and match the teachings of different religious paths just to suit one's own self-calculating ends. Rather, the only way to make meaningful spiritual progress is to eventually surrender to one specific path, and to remain with that path faithfully until the goal is achieved. Steadiness, patience, fidelity and focus are the signs of mature spiritual practice. It is only with such focused dedication to one path that you will know God." - Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya
The Siddhas (Perfected Ones) are a special population of yogis, rishis and liberated beings who reside on the spiritually exalted planet known as Siddha-loka. In this special talk, Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya explains the epistemological method that these extremely advanced yogis use in order to understand the highest truths and to convey these truths to the other, less spiritually advanced, beings in the cosmos.

"The true sage conducts his presence among us in such a manner that makes it clear to those with the eyes to see that he is not firmly a part of this realm. His connection to the material is exceedingly tenuous. He, in actuality, traverses two planes simultaneously, with one foot in the material and one in the spiritual. He is physically manifest only with the purpose of delivering access to those who need proximity to his illumination. His physical presence here is an expression of his grace toward us such that he can give us a glimpse of a much higher realm. He subsists in this material world only to serve as a portal to those higher realms. Thus the true sage is a sacred bridge of mercy here to help those who are entrapped within the material realm to access spiritual reality. Such is the unseen and mysterious nature of the true guru. Like a flash of lightning in the sky, he will all too soon be gone." - Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya
“Within Nature itself is the whispering of God trying to teach us to come back to Him.” - Śrī Dharma Pravartaka Āchārya (What is Sanatana Dharma? Interview with Aarvoll)

"God is pure, being free from all contaminations of material tinges. He is the Absolute Truth and the embodiment of full and perfect knowledge. He is all-pervading, without beginning or end, and without rival. O Nārada, O great sage, the great thinkers can know Him when completely freed from all material hankerings and when sheltered under undisturbed conditions of the senses. Otherwise, by untenable arguments, all is distorted, and the Lord disappears from our sight." (Srimad Bhagavatam, 2.6.40-41)
