For explaining Basics of Advaita Vedanta, a page Understading Advaita is created which attempts to explain advaita in simple way. 

A special page adhyAropa apavAda is dedicated to explain advaita vedanta from this POV (Point Of View)

Other pages dedicated to different topics like 'Meditative Journey of an Advaitin' and various quotes from shAstras supporting advaita are also published. 

Home Page gives short description of each Page.


Hindu Dharma also known as Sanatan Dharma (सनातन धर्म, Sanātana Dharma, sanAtana dharma)


This site is dedicated to explain Hindu Dharma from Traditional POV (Point Of View). It attempts to explain various aspects unique to Sanatan Dharma like Multiple Gods, IshTa devatA, Belief in past lives and Rebirth, Basic texts of Sanatana Dharma, different types of yogas, 5 bodies, chakras and nadis, mantras, Idol Worship, jivan mukti (eternal freedom while still living in physical body), etc


Blogs by Friends



This is a blog by my brotherly friend. I am not author to this Blog. He has great knowledge in Shaivism and Sanatana Dharma in general. Site came up as a response to counter false narrative which aims to denigrate the Status of Lord Shiva in a zeal to prove Lord Vishnu as Supreme Godhead.


This blog contains articles which some readers may not like. However, it has many insightful articles and some very unique like the


The unassailable glory of lord Bhuvaneshwara – the primordial Skambha supporting the worlds, which contains Skambha Sutra, an Atharvavedic hymn which explains Siva as skahbha or stambha, a divine pillar of infinite length whose beginning or end is not traceable. It is a pillar of consciousness.


Another article worth noting is  The Imperishable Glory of Lord Kameshwara – The Primordial God of Desire. This article contains Maheshvara Sutras which explain origin of Universe from Siva's Damru and relates it to various alphabets. Author has taken pain to explain Nandekshwara's Kashika on Maheshwara sutras which explains mAtrikA shrushTi i.e. creation from mAtrA-s i.e. aksharamala or alphabets.


Third article-series worth note is Translation of unique Siva gItA of padma purANa with Sanskrit original.



As the name stands, this Blog is really Adbhutam (wonderful). It is an excellent, unique blog. This blog is not for laymen. Readers are expected to have basic knowledge in traditional Advaita Vedanta. It is written by a very knowledgeable Advaitin in a scholarly way.


It focuses on expounding teachings of Advaita Vedanta using commentaries by various traditional AchArya-s like Sri Adi SankarAchArya jI, Sri madhusudan sarasvatI ji, Sri appaya dikshita, and other saints. It also has posts that defend advaita philosophy by refuting objections raised against it by providing quotes from scriptures and from shAstra-s. Nothing out of shAstra-s is being said.

AUM
