The Sermon on the Mount According to Vedanta

By: Swami Prabhavananda

Narrated by: Charlton Griffin

The Sermon on the Mount represents the essence of both Christ's teachings and the teachings of Vedanta, an ancient Indian philosophy that teaches the oneness of life. God lies within us and at the same time is everything we see.

This realization is the aim of all the Vedanta teachings. Christ said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." "The kingdom of God is within you." "Be ye perfect."

Although theologians are apt to explain away these teachings in various ways, the Vedantists believe Christ meant what he said. Listen to this remarkable recording and discover how Vedanta goes to the very heart of Christ's teaching. Vedanta came to the West in the late 19th century, not to supplant any religion, but to bring a more tangible spirituality to those who seek it. Its goal has never been to proselytize, but to help man realize the divinity within him.

Thou art our loving mother; thou art our compassionate father; thou art our true friend and constant companion. Thou art our only treasure and our only wisdom. Thou art all in all. The Sermon on the Mount According to Vedanta ~~ Swami Prabhavananda An observation I have made over the years is the that my Hindu friends understand Jesus the Christ’s mission far better than my Christian friends. Swami Prabhavananda’s amazing The Sermon on the Mount According to Vedanta confirms this. This book is packed with so much truth and wisdom; it’s left my head spinning. The way the Swami Prabhavananda blends Eastern and Western beliefs together seamlessly is amazing. Swami explains The Sermon on the Mount in ways that are meaningful and inspiring. For those raised in Christian traditions, this book will help you to embrace the teachings of Christ more fully and ground your faith in ways not yet revealed to you by traditional Christian teachings. Swami Prabhavananada explains both Christian and Vedantic theologies brilliantly. Swami makes these complex concepts clear and easy to comprehend. Often, these teachings are obscured with overly complex, heavy handed language. Swami Prabhavananada shows us that there are many paths to God, all leading to one truth ~~ yes, we are beautifully taught how all religions are in reality sharing the same truth. The Sermon on the Mount According to Vedanta is a fantastic book chocked full of wisdom. This is a book I will return again and again to bring more light my journey.
