Vedanta Tradition and Contemporary Problems

 The Vedanta has an ancient teaching tradition that is alive even today. Many dedicated acharyas, especially sannyasis have kept the tradition alive and vibrant. Yet, in modern times, there seem to be some lacunae associated with the teaching tradition that prevent the successful transfer of the age old wisdom. I make these observation based on my experience with vedanta for many years.

1. Lack of dedication and commitment among students.

2. Lack of readiness among students

3. Changing the teachers very often

4. Lack of Shraddha

5. Online sessions and social media are not substitutes for direct contact with the acharya
