Glossary of Vedantic Terms
While reading the profound scriptures of Vedanta, seekers who haven't formally studied Sanskrit often get stuck on specific words. It is easy to get confused because the Vedantic definition of a word is often drastically different from its common, everyday meaning. Additionally, many words have multiple meanings, making it necessary to understand them within their proper context. To support your spiritual study whether you are reading the texts or listening to discourses we have compiled a useful glossary of these terms. We encourage you to make full use of this valuable resource.
