From The Path of Knowledge
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is a list of teachers and Gurus for those who are on the path of knowledge.

James Swartz

Great and fairly detailed introduction to Vedanta. Swartz is a brilliant teacher. The link will take you to his course (free videos), which is moderately detailed. That's in 16 parts totaling 16 hours, but it saves 16 years of your life.

Roger Castillo

Crystal clear teachings. Very bright and young teacher. Holds online Satsangs and is very approachable.

YouTube

Rupert Spira

A great orator. His teachings are most direct and beautiful. He makes even the heaviest concept sound like a child's play. He breaks the belief that Advaita is difficult to comprehend, to pieces.

YouTube

Nirgun John

Being a direct disciple of Nisargdatta, he sounds just like him. He starts from the deepest, no shallow work. Newbies will find his words cryptic, but most will enjoy his direct realizations. He is very reachable and holds online Satsangs.

YouTube

Swami Sarvapriyananda

A young and very bright fellow from Sanyas tradition. He has profound knowledge of Advaita Vedanta and is a great orator. His teachings are very detailed so be prepared to invest some time there. But, then you will never need any other teachings or teachers.

Mooji

I guess no introduction is needed. He is very popular, a great teacher indeed. I've never seen anyone else speak so clearly and directly about the most important knowledge one must have. He is approachable via numerous Satsangs and camps but be prepared to encounter thousands of people there. Usually his videos are enough.

YouTube

Francis Lucille

One of my favorites. His scientific background (physicist) means that whatever he says makes more sense then the usual non-dual stuff you get from usual teachers. It is possible to gain major insights and even experiences simply by listening to him. He is very approachable and holds online Satsangs.

YouTube

Charlie Hayes

Probably in the lineage of Nisargdatta, he is very fresh, very direct and to the point. Also check out related people Sailor Bob Adamson and John Wheeler.

YouTube

G P Walsh

A very relaxed, nice and friendly teacher. He has answers for everything from mundane to highest kind of questions. He is very much approachable via his online satsangs, where everyone can ask their questions. He shares all that is necessary and essential, freely.

YouTube

A Ramana

Not to be confused with Ramana Maharishi. But he belongs to the same lineage. I am not aware of any ways to meet him in person, but his videos are there for everyone to see. Those are short and to the point in a clear and easy language.

YouTube

Chaitanya Yogesh

A young fellow with remarkable understanding of the direct path and clarity. Here lies a treasure of knowledge if you like Hindi content about the direct path, there is some English content too.

YouTube

Jim Newman

Seems to have developed his own unique way of transmitting nondual wisdom (Probably there is some connection to Tony Parsons). He is direct, pithy and unpretentious. He leaves the listener in a state of superimposition of shock, clarity and confusion. For a beginner his words are going to fly over the head, but if you are already introduced to nonduality, he is perfect for you.

YouTube

Jijnasu

A young man who displays depth of knowledge and clarity. His channel has numerous but brief videos on various topics related to the path of knowledge and spirituality in general. Very pithy. Simple English accessible to all. His science background and education shines through his speech, making everything crystal clear.

YouTube

Swami Atmananda Udasin

A few videos there, but its a rare gem. Probably you will benefit more by visiting him personally, but this channel provides a glimpse of his clarity and skill. No bells and whistles, just pure knowledge. (Some videos have French subtitles also).

YouTube

Wayne Liquorman

Very accessible and easy to comprehend talks. Mostly satsangs. He is a direct disciple of Ramesh Balsekar, so many will find the material familiar.

YouTube

Neema Majmudar

She is a disciple of Swami Dayananda Saraswati and presents here talks on various scriptures related to Vedanta. Some are in French. (Website: Discover Vedanta)

YouTube

Andre Vas

Very good and detailed lectures on Vedanta in traditional style. Great for those who cannot understand Indian accents but wish to listen to more traditional lectures rather than modern westernized versions of Vedanta. He is inspired by James Swartz and has a similar easy and bright style. (Website: Yes Vedanta)

YouTube

Gautam Sachdeva

Student of Ramesh Balsekar. Conveys his teachings in a simple and straightforward manner. Holds satsang in Mumbai occasionally. Those who wish to be introduced to Nisargadatta's teachings in an easy way should join him and listen to him.

YouTube

Pravrajika Divyanandaprana

Very good lectures for newcomers and seasoned seekers as well. A great blend of modern thought and tradition. Most of them are in English.
