Course gives an in-depth understanding of important Vedantic

concepts. The Course is an ideal follow-up to CIF's Foundation

Vedanta Course.

Vivekachudamani, Atma Bodha, Tattva Bodha, Vakya Vritti and

Panchadashi, are covered in a series of 24 detailed lessons.

Course Eligibility

Any individual who seeks to have an in-depth study of Vedanta

is welcome to join this course. While it is preferred that the

student studies CIF's Foundation Vedanta Course before

24 questionnaires to answer. Students are required to complete 2

lessons in a month at the rate of one-a-fortnight.

Course Rewards

subjective discipline. This alone will lead to spiritual progress. Apart

from giving clarity on the various technical terms and concepts of

Vedanta, this Course explains the sadhanas that are to be followed

in our day-to-day life. These sadhanas will bestow purity of mind

and single-pointedness of intellect that are required for peace and

happiness in life. You will also realise the true meaning of

meditation and learn the art of its practice.
