Vedanta is an Indian philosophy with its roots in the Upanishads, the concluding sections of the Vedas—one of the most ancient scriptures known to humanity. Originating in the Himalayan ranges, Vedanta was not founded on any personality and is a system of knowledge discovered by galaxy of sages who scientifically investigated the individual and his experience of the world.

Derived from the combination of two Sanskrit words, Veda knowledge and Anta end, Vedanta literally means "the end of knowledge". Not only because it traces its origins to the end portion of the Vedas, but also because it offers answers to life's deepest questions and enables one to achieve the ultimate experience of spiritual Enlightenment.

Vedanta designs the pursuit of happiness through logical and systematic exposition of eternal truths. The knowledge promotes material and spiritual well-being. Combines dynamic action with mental peace. Instils the higher values of service to provide prosperity and peace to the community. Above all, its philosophy leads one to the ultimate goal of Self-Realisation.

One person smokes a cigarette and finds pleasure in it. Another person detests it. One lady divorces her husband. Another craves for and marries the same man. Therefore, pleasure and pain are not inherent in objects and beings of the world. It is in how you relate to them.

Vedanta is the art of relating to the world. Mastering this technique, you lead a smooth, pleasing existence – to yourself and to others.

Millions of doctors have graduated from medical schools, but one person discovered the cure for tuberculosis. One person found out how to transplant a kidney. Millions of engineers passed out of engineering schools but one person designed the Panama Canal. One person devised the Euro Tunnel. What separates the achievers from the rest? It is the intellect which is distinct and different from intelligence or knowledge gained from schools and universities. Vedanta enables you to develop the intellect – the capacity to think, reason, judge and decide. Only then does your intelligence take the right direction in life making you successful and peaceful in this world.
