A Guided Tour of Swami Tadatmananda's Ashram - Arsha Bodha Center
Вставка

- Several people have requested a video tour of Arsha Bodha Center, the beautiful ashram where Swami Tadatmananda has lived and taught for the past 23 years. Arsha Bodha means wisdom of the rishis, the sages of ancient India.
Arsha Bodha Center is located on a country road in a serene, leafy part of Central New Jersey, surrounded by fields, forests, and farms. Here, you can truly see why New Jersey is called the "Garden State." Yet, it's in the midst of one of the most highly populated areas of the country, easily accessible to spiritual seekers who want to learn and practice meditation or immerse themselves in in traditional study of the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, works of Shankaracharya, and other works on Advaita Vedanta.
In 1986, Swami Tadatmananda moved to his guru's ashram, Arsha Vidya Gurukulam, in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains. There, he studied under the renowned traditional teacher of Advaita Vedanta, Swami Dayananda. After being ordained as a Hindu monk and teaching there for many years, Swami Tadatmananda left the ashram with his guru's blessings in 2000 to establish Arsha Bodha Center.
All are welcome to visit the ashram. It is open during classes. The current schedule is:
Saturdays: 10 am - Guided Meditation, 11 am - Bhagavad Gita Class
Sundays: 10 am - Vedanta Class, 11 am - Satsang (informal Q&A)
During summer, Satsang is held at 6 pm in the lovely picnic area, and the Vedanta Class is on hiatus.
Please note: the ashram has no residential facilities.
Swami Tadatmananda is a traditionally-trained teacher of Advaita Vedanta, meditation, and Sanskrit. For more information, please see: www.arshabodha.org/
If I were near I would be there every day, learning, exploring and supporting the Ashram. Thank you for the tour Swami Tadatmananda.
What a beautiful Ashram. May all beings live in peace and harmony
Thank you so much for the tour. It's a beautiful place and a testament to the presence of Krishna in this world
I am repeating my question here.
Does the centre sell Tadadmanandha’s lectures in books and if so where are they available? If not, why not do it now, please, for the sake of people like me who have a hearing problem?
Loved tht cute little shrine for Adi Shankara😃
I would also dedicate a little shrine for Buddha 'nd Shankara in my own future personal library🤞🏼🙂
Thank you, Swami-ji. It looks like a very inviting ashram. I wish I could visit, but I doubt it will happen with me not being American and living far away. Maybe one day though. You never know.
Hari om.My humble pranams at the Lotus feet of Guruji 🎉
Blessed self to see ashram.
Pranaam Swamiji, 🙏 feel so fortunate. Thank you for everything.
Shanti, shanti, shanti 🙏
Thank you very much Swamiji. Today we are going to visit you!
Oh wow, thank you so much for sharing this, as I have often wondered how beautiful the grounds must be and it certainly lived up to expectations. Also, what an amazing legacy to leave behind for others - truly wonderful. Jai Sri Krishna!
Such a beautiful place. I loved learning about its history and the efforts to ensure that it continues to be peaceful and beautiful. Thank you for this wonderful tour of your ashram and the welcoming invitation to attend classes there.
sashtanga Pranam, Guru ji for preserving and kindling young and old minds!
beautiful as all your videos! Thank you for sharing, it's great to see for the literally 100,000s of students world wide that you have. I will visit you too one day, love from Germany!
Indeed spiritual abode!
Beautiful
Thank you for sharing this video. Such a lovely and auspicious space! Now, to Google how far from my home in eastern NC!
Awesome and peaceful atmosphere.Perfect setting Reminds one Vedic period ashram sans modernfacilies.
Thank you for making this video. Grateful to see how you reviving the Hindu traditions.
Salutations, Guruji. The Ashram is so beautiful! Thank you very much for posting this wonderful video. I was very moved by your dedication to serve the local community in this way, and for the support you received to make the ashram so special and for the programs available for spiritual seekers everywhere. I hope to visit before long and get your blessings. May Iswara bless you and the Ashram to continue the journey. Om Nama Shivaya 🙏🏼
Thank you swamiji for this beautiful tour, cant wait for when I can visit in person 😬🙏
Always wanted to visit once.. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for your. I am not Hindu, but still find peace by listening to your teachings. Beautiful ashram!
He is really a divine personality.Soothing and compassionate.
Nobody needs to be a hindu when one is looking for self discovery through Advait Vedanta which swamiji is teaching. Rather, teachings of this is a way of intelligent living without any attachements and thereafter any sorrow and thats why its called sanatan as it persisted through thousands of years. Anything which gives purity of mind is appreciable and practiced. I m a Hindu and like others performed the rituals in a routine way like going to temples and praying God to keep me well on health and material, like 99.999% hindus do. When I came through Vedanta, I am literally changed, my attitude changed, my thinking changed. Earlier I was discovering God but now, I m understanding God. For that I have to understand myself which advait Vedanta teaches us , finally to tell u u r no different that God.
Super se bhi uper❤🎉
I wish I could be there to see such beautiful Ashram. Swamiji, when u happen to come India in future, pl inform us through a video so that we can plan to meet u and take ASHEERVAD(blessings) from u

Beautiful ashram. The documentary is also well made. Hope to be able to visit someday.
Love your preachings and Love your ashram. Want to visit it with blessings of lord & gurudev🙏🙏
Swamy what is the name of your Guru and Sect? Cause your teachings and mindset seem really authentic and egalitarian, compared to a lot of others whom I find either irrational or bogus. Along with you, one of the only true Vedantins online seems to be Swamy Sarvapriyananda.
Would be blessed to know your great Teacher's name.
Thank you so much for this tour, Swami-ji and Jim! What a beautiful place! I really hope that I can come to visit someday. 🙏

I am grateful to have found your teachings through UA-cam video, Swami Ji.. I hope to visit the ashram soon to attend your class. God bless!
Adi shankara was unbelievably ahead of his time in spiritual wisdom. Bhaja Govindam lyrics are infused with timeless wisdom that is still is as relevant as it was a thousand years ago
Traditonally, only few text of the great Bhāsyakara are recognized as such; bhaja govindam is not among them.
The Advitīya Parampara recognized only the Prasthānatraya Bhāsya (commentary on Upanisad, Bhagavadgītā and Brahmasūtra), Upadeśasahasri and few other text.
@@Siddhanta8905why r u saying this??? Bhaj govindam is written by him???
@@Rohit-ij7mb
Among the hundreds of works that popular opinion has attributed to Śamkara, the majority were not written by the great Master. it must be taken into account that, since the disappearance of who has since been called Adiśamkarācārya, his legitimate successors of the Pītham were designated with his name used as a title. Furthermore, in the various Paramparā, quite many masters appear who have taken "Śamkara" as their initiatory name; their writings circulate freely as the works of a Śamkarācārya or a Śamkara, without there originally being any countroversy intent. what is certain is that such a proliferation of works has caused confusion regarding the identity of the author.
Traditionally, His works are divided into 4 categories: the Bhāsyas, the Prakaranas, the Stotras and the Tantric hymns. Bhāja Govinda, would belong to the Stotras. there are more than 240 odes-stotra attributed to Śamkara. due to the very nature of this scriptural genre, it is difficult to adequately address them without the aid of a commentary or an oral explanation by a qualified interpreter. the most rigorous Gurus of Advaita Vedānta agree in considering certain Stotras of Śamkara the "Daksināmūrti Stotram" and "Advaita Pañcaratnam", considering the authenticity of all other Stotras unverifiable; their brevity and their poetic form make it necessary to read a commentary to grasp the doctrine contained. in this case, it is the commentator's interpretation that leads to a purely Advitīya reading or not, unlike the texts certainly considered by the Master, which objectively are.
I hope I was clear.
OM TAT SAT
Naman Gurudev! Thanks for the tour of Arsha Bodha Centre ! It gives the feel of an ancient Ashram of Braham Rishi Vashishth.
I always feel you are an incarnation of one of the Sapt Rishis. Naman and Dhanyvad Gurudev!
🙏🌅🕉️🔔🪔🛕🦢🪷🦢🪷🦢🪷🦢🪷🦢🛕🪔🔔🕉️🌅🙏I love your library! I have one of my own!
This is Sat Chit Anandham❤😊 Many thanks Guruji. When we visit US next time your Aashram will be on our must go list 🙏🙏🙏 beautiful video. Just watching thia video makes me happy and peaceful. Imagine living there.❤❤❤
Gurudeb my respectful salutations to your lotus feet. Being a self indoctrinated disciple of Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya I was looking for my Guru from whom I can take the initiation ( Diksha) . After seeing the divine bliss and the transcendental calmness in your face I do believe that my search ends here. I sincerely pray to my Ishta Devata Bhagwan Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swami to grant me the opportunity to visit your Ashram and take my Diksha in Advaita Parampara. Om Tat Sat.
lovin ir bro
K G Rangarajan love to visit your New Jersey Arsha Bodha Ashram. I want to learn veda under your guidance and care.
So nice to hear the story of the Ashram and see how it developed into the peaceful environment it is today. A beautiful centre for learning and studying. Does the ashram also have rooms for students who wish to spend an extended time under the guidance of Swami Tadatmananda?
That's incredibly fortunate that the city purchased the farmland across the street and you're also bordering state land. Very nice location 👍Also, whoever decided to put that cartoon goat in the video gets a high five 😆
beautiful would like to know your thoughts on jordan peterson and the new atheists like sam harris richard dawkins christiphor hitchens
any recommendations for a commentary on the Bhagavad Gita? there are so many published it's hard to decide which one I should read.
I personally love the Swami Mukundananda commentary because it explains everything in clear, loving terms with a large emphasis on Bhakti
I think listening carefully to swamy Tadatmananda classes on Bhagavadgeetha is enough.
Commentaries by sankaracharya and Madhusudan Saraswati may be better as swamy often refer to them
@@morgankayex I like him. "Krishna is my benefactor."
Pranaam
Do you have daily online satang / classes so that we can experience the ecstasy ? please reply Guruji.
I appreciate much Swami Dayananda covers his head as Adi Shankaracharya, and I also regard he is the live picture of Adi Shankaracharya. Prophet Mohammad tells his disciples that God messengers (angels) coming down to earth must cover their heads like the way Adi Shankararcharya does.
Muhammad is irrelevant here. Adi Shankara wasn't an angel. His teachings were different from tht of Muhammad. Muhammad taught strict Monotheism of a Creator God while Shankara taught Non Dualism which results into strict or ideal Monism. Muhammad was against the idea of both monism 'nd polytheism which he considered equally blasphemous.
BTW covering head isn't necessary in Hinduism. It's jus a representation of a particular schl of the one who defends Vedic Dharma.
I TOUCH YOUR FEET I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOUR BLESSINGS SO THAT I MAY END FUTURE BIRTHS
