Episode Synopsis

The chapter I will read today is called the Appeal of Vedanta to Modern Man, and in it Swami Ranganthananda begins with an explanation of the word Hindu followed by a very scientific introduction to the approach of the Upanishads. He then brings in the foundational concepts of Vedanta and its universality and a high level discussion of its key teachings.  The universality of Vedanta is not only evident in the words he has written buteven in their reach. This chapter is a speech the Swami deilvered in Athens, Greece, way back in 1961, in collaboration with UNESCO during his 17 country lecture tour of Europe that spanned 4 months.
