Advaita for the 21st Century

2003 - 2016
Welcome to Advaita Vision. The site was begun in 2003. A 10-point statement of what we stand for begins as follows:
This site provides a platform for all who are attracted to the vision of non-duality and like to share their views and their approaches. Here’s why Advaita Vision will be an open platform for all committed to self-enquiry:
1. People are at different points on their spiritual journeys.
Therefore different expressions of the fundamental principle of advaita are needed to meet their specific different needs. (Read More)
Those familiar with the original site (www.advaita.org.uk) will attest to the value of the links to other sites that may be of interest to the seeker, the who’s-who and lineage charts of teachers, and the guide to stimulating reading materials. The library section provides details of a vast number of advaita-related books.
The other sections are:
• Articles: essays by various writers and teachers, across the spectrum of advaita thought (some interviews also);
• Blog-site: in which a regular group of writers share their insights and understandings;
• Q&As: any seeker can submit questions and I (and the bloggers) will offer a response;
• Book-extracts: please submit anything that has inspired you from a book you’ve read;
NOTE:
advaita.org.uk is largely a static site. Many articles are archived here but new
material is principally posted to www.advaita-vision.org. Ongoing series (see left)
continue to be posted here, as are new book extracts. The Advaita Library is also
kept up to date. Links, resources, teacher lineages etc. have not been updated for
a number of years, but it is hoped they will still prove useful.
Any support by way of contacts, information and useful materials will be much welcome. Any donations will also help free up time and cover running costs. One other form of support is if you make all your Amazon purchases through us. Please use the buttons below to link.
