Hansavedas Academy guides seekers and aspirants on a path to embrace authentic spirituality, live mindfully, and build a regular practice of meditation. The Sanskrit term Hansavedas bears a specific meaning that embodies the journey to enlightenment through accelerated learning techniques, introspective self-study and meditative insight. The Academy presents a complete overview of holistic subjects for an aspirant based on how the Sanskrit heritage wishes to introduce the conceptual framework of holistic education. Hence most aspects of a Sanskrit-based teaching system meant for human excellence are represented and shared by this platform. With a subscription, you will have access to audio and video recordings of sublime Sanskrit chanting, celestial classical music, spiritual philosophy discourses, yogic breathing techniques, sound bathing and mindfulness practices, and guided Himalayan meditation by His Holiness Swami Vidyadhishananda. His Holiness is the head monk and the spiritual founder of the Nonprofit, Self Enquiry Life Fellowship. Access rare audio-video recordings from our live fellowships and training courses that utilize a whole-brain and whole-person learning approach using spiraling logic. The teachings from these recordings are best imbibed by intent listening and then putting them into practice. His Holiness is a traditional Vedic monk who reveals to us a Himalayan tradition of indigenous wisdom based on his lineage of his Sanskrit heritage. He hails from the unbroken lineages of Himalayan meditation adepts who are known for their combination of rishi sagely scholarship and nath siddha practices. His Holiness has lectured around the world as an emissary of peace, bridging spiritual traditions and sharing the universal teachings of Sanskrit-based wisdom. He is among the very few scholars available in the West who holds the degree of Mahamahopadhyay (DLitt et Phil), one of the highest accolades awarded by the university system in India. He was awarded this doctorate degree in recognition of his meditative insights, scholarly interpretation, and ability to articulate Sanskrit philosophy. -- ▷ Already a Member?

Hansavedas Academy's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
