Advaita for the 21st Century
© Dennis Waite
2003 - 2023
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)
The site began as a catalog of resources of interest to those pursuing Advaita and contains numerous links to other sites, details of many teachers, lineage charts of teachers, and a 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
reasonably 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.
