This blog is about our journey to freedom. Not freedom in the traditional sense, but\u00a0about total\u00a0freedom.

As we will learn, this is about understanding the truth about who we are, fundamentally.\u00a0It<\/span>\u00a0is the journey towards understanding, and finally realizing this truth.

You will notice that I will use many sanskrit terms as and when needed. This in the interest of trying to be as accurate as possible, because there are some concepts that do not have an equivalent expression in the English language. It is also because there is a deep connection and dependance about what I write, on the Vedantic documents. Mostly, the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Brahma Sutras.<\/p>\n
