LATEST ARTICLES
Ramesam: A writer with a special interest in science, and its ability to throw light onto non-duality
All new material will be posted to the ‘blog’ section of the website but, when an article is more than just a blog - i.e. an article carefully written on a specific topic in Advaita - it will go into the ‘Discourses by writers and teachers’ section. This will have its own page at the Wordpress site and all articles will be listed there. New material will have a home at that part of the site whereas old material will be archived at this site, reached by the ‘Discourses’ menu button above.
If you didn’t follow any of that, all will become clear as redevelopment continues!

Welcome to Advaita Vision. This is the new name and a new look for the site I started in 2003. As experience and understanding have evolved so too have the types of articles and opinions. A 10-point statement of what we stand for begins as follows:
This site provides a platform for all who are attracted to the vision of non-duality and like to share their views and their approaches. Here’s why Advaita Vision will be an open platform for all committed to self-enquiry:
1. People are at different points on their spiritual journeys.
Therefore different expressions of the fundamental principle of advaita are needed to meet their specific different needs. (Read More)
Those familiar with the original site (www.advaita.org.uk) will attest to the value of the links to other sites that may be of interest to the seeker, the who’s-who and lineage charts of teachers, and the guide to stimulating reading materials. The library section is a new addition, providing details of a vast number of advaita-related books.
The sections that will continue to grow faster as new materials get added are:
• Discourses: articles by various writers and teachers, across the spectrum of advaita thought;
• Blog-site: (NEW) in which a regular group of writers share their insights and understandings;
• Q&As: any seeker can submit questions and I (and the bloggers) will offer a response;
• Book-extracts: (NEW) please submit anything that has inspired you from a book you’ve read;
To come:
• Advaita Forum: where opinions vary from the practical to the rarified realm of the esoteric.
This site is a labor of love that’s kept up to date by a few volunteers. Any support by way of contacts and information and useful materials will be much welcome. Any donations will also help free up time and cover running costs. One other form of support is if you make all your Amazon purchases through us.
