Important note
Study of Advaita Vedanta requires a long term commitment. While these classes are provided freely, we ask you to respect the time of the teachers & administrators of this group who are providing this service. Please only register for the classes if you feel able to dedicatedly show up for the live classes and can rearrange your other commitments accordingly. Students who will follow exclusively with the recordings due to time difference, etc. are requested to inform the teacher beforehand to avoid being removed from the group for non-attendance.
