Vedanta Amritam has been set up by the disciples of Swami Paramarthananada. None of this knowledge belongs to us and with all humility we acknowledge that it has been possible for us to share these teachings only due to the unbounded grace of the Guru Parampara.
We place our eternal gratitude at the lotus feet of our living Guru, Swami Paramarthananda and dedicate all teachings to him. We pray his blessings always guide us.
