Dayananda, Swami - Self Acceptance
Mindfulness and Practice
•

Logically, the Self is pure awareness which transcends all of the objects of perception. Swami Dayananda is a member of the Order of Sanyasins, or spiritual renunciates.

The path of Vedanta is one of brining this realization into a state of continuous clarity.
