Satsang is a compound Sanskrit word that means “keeping the company of the Self.” The Self, Awareness, is the true nature of everyone and one keeps company with it by continually meditating on it in many ways. One of the most effective methods involves discussing non-dual teachings with someone who has realized his or her identity as the Self, to get clarity with reference to Self inquiry. The satsangs posted here are the questions of many people around the world who are interested in enlightenment and find that Vedanta is their preferred means of Self knowledge. Since I am a teacher of Vedanta, a time tested means of self inquiry, I am qualified to reply to these questions.Search & Read

Thank You
Seeker: Dear James, I am forever grateful for your work as a teacher of Vedanta.
So often I am happy beyond measure, realizing how beautiful this all is and what a great blessing it is, that the Lord had directed me towards Vedanta and James Swartz.
Thank you for being a serious and truthful teacher.
The world slowly, slowly vanishes away and in parallel the world is lightened up with love and shining brightly. All the world is the same but different. All the actions and the play of the world are almost forgotten. Love, myself, is/am shining in everything. I thank the Lord, every day, in my many prayers for all this:
Thank you, dear Lord, for all that has been given. I am your Fullness, I am your Unconcernedness, I am your Limitlessness, I am your Love. Thank you, with Love and Gratitude.
