										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="s-t">Vedanta is the science of self-inquiry and the three primary texts (prasthana traya) that form the foundation of self-inquiry are, in order of importance, the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and Brahma Sutras. Derived from these texts are introductory texts (prakarana granthas) which were written with the intent of giving an inquirer the ‘big picture’ of Vedanta before they attempt to undertake the study of more complex texts such as the Bhagavad Gita. The original introductory texts are immensely valuable, but since they were written long ago in a different cultural context, they are more difficult to understand for the modern reader.</p>
<p class="s-t">However, in recent times, introductory texts have been written in contemporary language, such as “How to Attain Enlightenment” and “The Essence of Enlightenment.” These books give a comprehensive, easy-to-understand overview of Vedanta—one that perfectly prepares an inquirer to study the original prakarana granthas and the prasthana traya—and they form the basis of the Self-Inquiry Video Series. In this series, James Swartz, in his inimitable down-to-earth style, addresses topics such as the difference between experience and knowledge, the qualifications for enlightenment (moksha), karma yoga, devotion (bhakti), meditation, lifestyle, the three gunas, the method of discrimination (viveka) and more. Never before have the timeless teachings of Vedanta been presented in such an accessible fashion. Therefore, this video series—as well as the books it is based on—is an essential guide for serious inquirers.</p>
<p class="s-s">SPECIFICATIONS: RECORDED IN SANTA FE IN 2015. 11 VIDEOS &#8211; 15 HOURS.</p>
<p>This series is available as an online download. After you place your order, you will receive downloadable link via email.</p>

<p class="s-t">This version of the Self Inquiry Series was recorded in Bavaria, Germany 2014. As a bonus, a translator translates everything James teaches into German. The translation does not compromise the viewers understanding of the teaching, in fact some say it enhances it as it gives English Speakers the opportunity for quick reflection during the translation.</p>
<p class="s-s">SPECIFICATIONS: 13 HOURS OF TEACHINGS.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="s-t">Panchadasi was written in the 14th Century by a great Vedantic sage, Vidyaranya. It is perhaps the most comprehensive and well-organized Vedanta prakarana text. It is suitable for advanced inquirers as it requires a basic knowledge of Vedanta. The ninety hours of this series was brilliantly taught to 100 inquirers by James in Tiruvannamalai South India in January 2015. The 74 files take considerable time to download, not to mention 80 Gigabytes of disk space, but it is well worth the trouble. The Tiruvannamalai 2013, Spain and Trout Lake 2014 Panchadasi videos are excellent but not as comprehensive as this series.</p>
<p class="s-s">SPECIFICATIONS: 74 VIDEOS (NEARLY 90 HOURS OF TEACHINGS). FILMED IN TIRUVANNAMALAI, SOUTH INDIA IN JANUARY 2015</p>
<p class="s-n">Note: While Panchadasi is beneficial to anyone, if you are new to the study of Vedanta, it would be helpful to first watch the videos on <a href="/product-category/video/self-inquiry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Self-Inquiry</a>, or the <a href="/product-category/video/bhagavad-gita/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bhagavad Gita</a> in order to establish a familiarity with all of the necessary ideas and terminology. This will greatly assist your study of Panchadasi.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="s-t">Panchadasi, ‘the book with 15 chapters,’ was written in the 14th century by Vidyaranya Swami, one of the Shankaracharyas of Sringeri Math. Unlike some Vedantic texts, Panchadasi presents the entire teaching in a clearly arranged fashion that avoids excessive repetition of ideas. It is considered to be one of the greatest scriptures of Vedanta and a compulsory textbook for all serious inquirers. It is one of James’ personal favorites, an opinion shared by the great mahatma of Chennai, Swami Paramarthananda.</p>

<p class="s-n">Note: While Panchadasi is beneficial to anyone, if you are new to the study of Vedanta, it would be helpful to first watch the videos on Tattva Bodha, Self-Inquiry, and the Bhagavad Gita in order to establish a familiarity with all of the necessary ideas and terminology.
