What we’re about
Vedanta Eternal is a registered charity dedicated to sharing Vedanta - a technique for living which combines dynamic action with mental peace and instils the value of service to provide prosperity and peace to the individual and the community.
Vedanta
Vedanta is derived from two words Veda – Knowledge and Anta – End. Vedanta means the end of knowledge. This ancient philosophy of India leads one along the path towards the ultimate goal of Self Realisation.
Swami Parthasarathy
Swami Parthasarathy is a pre-eminent philosopher who founded the Vedanta Academy in 1988. One of Swamiji’s special gifts has been his ability to translate subtle philosophical themes into a practical technique of living, which has made Vedanta accessible to people around the world.
His works include:
• The Vedanta Treatise: The Eternities
• Bhagavad Gita (with Swamiji’s translation and commentary)
• The Fall of the Human Intellect
• Governing Business & Relationships

Iśāvāsya Upanishad
Friends Meeting House, Hampstead Quaker Meeting, 120 Heath Street, Hampstead, NW3 1DR, London, GBThe Upanishads are the most subtle and profound of all philosophies.
Many theosophists and Western philosophers regard the Upanishads as a timeless world scripture appealing to lovers of Truth from all races and backgrounds. For example, Arthur Schopenhauger, Robert Oppenheimer and Albert Einstein considered the Upanishads to be sublime and elevating.
We will be studying Iśāvāsya Upanishad, which consists of 18 mantras or verses and covers a range of themes including: dynamic action, renunciation, meditation, the stages of realisation, the drama of realisation, ignorance vs supreme Knowledge, and more.
We will be using the Choice Upanishads , which contains the Iśāvāsya verses with the interpretation and commentary by Swami A Parthasarathy.
Join us on this exciting journey of self-discovery and spiritual realisation as we explore the cryptic and mysterious wisdom of Iśāvāsya. Understanding the knowledge of your Self within and the realisation of that is the key to ultimate happiness.
The sessions will be led by Parulji who is a senior disciple of the world-renowned philosopher, Swami A Parthasarathy. Each session will involve teaching as well as discussion and reflection.
