'Intense Work is Rest'
The above quote defines the principles of Vedanta. The ancient philosophy of Vedanta encourages you to engage in action so you look forward to Monday mornings instead of Friday nights.
Vedanta is derived from two words Veda – Knowledge and Anta – End. Vedanta means the end of knowledge. This ancient philosophy presents the eternal principles of life and living. It programmes a life of mental peace combined with dynamic action in the world. Equips one with clarity of intellect to deal with the challenges of life. Above all its philosophy leads one to the ultimate goal of Self-Realisation.
