Introduction

In this world we are experiencing an age when the search for truth, reverence for life, the ideal of non-attachment and readiness to serve without regard for personal advancement seem elusive, if not forgotten.  True teachers and communicators appear from time to time.  They are recognized not only by their words but by the way in which they live- as expression of love and peace, living in harmony with all that surrounds them.  Through their example they show others how they may live life more fully and completely. Such a teacher is Dr Svami Purna.

Adhyatmik Foundation, in furtherance of the Mission, which highlights the dissemination of Vedic wisdom and Dr Svami Purna's teachings, provides a selection of Teachings on this site to introduce the real life application of Dr Svami Purna's wisdom in our daily lives.  In Vedic times, teachings were handed down orally from teacher to student.  In honor of this method, the Teachings primarily are presented as transcription of dialogues and discussions with Dr Svami Purna over the years.  The Sanksrit section has been prepared under the guidance of Dr Svami Purna.

• Questions with Svamiji- questions and answers from various retreats and webcasts
• Talks with Svamiji- a selection of discourses 
• Sanksrit with Svamiji- a basic introduction to the Sanskrit language

These areas will be updated from time to time to include a broader array of topics and teachings.

Books and Publications

A comprehensive offering of Dr Svami Purna's teachings is offered on this site, www.adfoundation.org, under Publications.  The publications offered by Adhyatmik Foundation are based upon perennial knowledge contained in the Vedic and Yogic texts that were originally written in the Sanskrit language.  The beauty of this knowledge is that it transcends any purely Eastern tradition or period of history and is relevant today around the globe for those seeking to find balance and harmony in the ever changing, hectic world in which we live.  The texts listed below have been translated into many languages and have been very well received by both students and teachers of Yoga.  A sampling of the books that are available:
