Foundational Texts of Indian Philosophy

Vedanta Society, San Francisco 112 Episodes Oct 19, 2025

This podcast presents a systematic study of classical Indian philosophy, drawn from a lecture series on its foundational texts. The host works from original sources in Sanskrit, and from Pali texts when treating the Buddhist schools, in order to explain each tradition's doctrines accurately. Phase one focuses on the schools of Vedanta, beginning with Advaita and continuing through the schools of Ramanuja, Madhva, Vallabha, Nimbarka, Baladeva and others, all part of the Āstika Darśana. The aim is not only intellectual understanding but the practical realization of the highest ethical and spiritual values in daily life. It is produced by the Vedanta Society of San Francisco, which invites listeners to contact the temple for further information.
