Theme Week: Awakening from the Dream: The Ancient Teaching on Ignorance and How Its End
This ten-part seminar series invites a radical re-examination of human experience.

This ten-part seminar series invites a radical re-examination of human experience. Drawing on the central insight of the Upanishads—that our fundamental problem is not moral but cognitive—Chandra unfolds a precise analysis of avidyā, the deep-rooted ignorance that causes us to mistake ourselves for body, mind, and roles.
With exceptional clarity and the authority of six decades of spiritual practice and teaching, Chandra guides participants through the layers of this fundamental error. From the classical teaching of adhyāsa (superimposition) to the well-known rope-and-snake metaphor, and the discovery of the sākṣin—the untouched witnessing awareness—the series reveals how this confusion shapes everyday life.
It also addresses why self-improvement alone cannot bring liberation and why true knowledge arises not from effort, but from clear seeing. The role of the teacher, the power of transformative knowledge, and the possibility of living freely within the world are explored in depth.
A rigorous and uncompromising guide for those who seek not just to understand, but to truly awaken.
