Annual Campout Trout Lake USA 17th – 22th August 2024
Teaching by Donation
Vedanta teaching is not a profession, although James and Sundari teach it professionally. In the great tradition of Advaita Vedanta the donation, which is not voluntary, is called guru dakshina which means that you contribute to the teacher and the teaching tradition according to your means and your appreciation of the spiritual value of the teaching.
Important Notice
This seminar is subject to cancellation if Ramji is not up to teaching or travelling, so keep this in mind when booking your accommodation. We have every hope that he will be, and to see you all there. However, it is essential that you register for the event so that we can inform you in the event of cancellation.
