Glimpses of Hinduism, Vedanta and Advaita Vedanta - Part 1
What if there is a belief
system that tells people that they can experience their God here and now,
instead of in heaven after they die?
Bro T. H. Hauw has
been intrigued by Advaita (Non-Dual) Vedanta and trying to understand it for
about a year. He is now happy to share what he has learned of the vastness
and great depth of Vedanta.
In Part 1 he will give us
a glimpse of Hinduism -- some of its stereotypes, the scriptures, some key
concepts of Vedanta such as Brahman, Maya, God, Jiva and Turiya the Pure
Consciousness and finally know some of the great teachers of Advaita.
He will cover Advaita
Vedanta in more details in Part 2 of his talk.

The Mental Plane is also the realm of the Mind, i.e. the plane
where thought arises. We will discuss further the subject of elemental
kingdoms and the elemental essence that ensoul thoughts. Hence, this lecture
serves as an introduction to 'thought-forms', one of the most important
aspects of nature. This lecture is useful, if not a prerequisite for the 6th
