SUNANDAJI’S LECTURE TOUR
SUNANDA Leelaram, known as Sunandaji with respect, is the daughter and protégé of Swami Parthasarathy. Under his guidance, she has been researching and propagating the philosophy of Vedanta. Surrounded by sages, Sunandaji had a rare and fortunate upbringing, in an ashram (spiritual hermitage), in India. Growing up in an ashram she was accustomed to an environment of thinking, contemplation and deep enquiry. “By the time I was 16, my mind was full of questions, so I took them to my father,” she recalls. The answer to her questions came in a trove of spiritual books and philosophical texts. The subject captivated her. It not only answered all her questions, it catapulted her into a higher level of understanding. From that moment, Sunandaji decided to follow her father’s footsteps. Under his guidance, Sunandaji has been researching and propagating the philosophy of Vedanta for over three decades. Her authority as an educator, and subject matter expert, stems from her years of dedicated study and research on Vedanta. This study has heightened her awareness of the state of humanity and the transformative power of this knowledge. This understanding fuels Sunandaji’s commitment to help individuals and communities achieve peace and prosperity.
Her annual lecture series includes talks on building authentic relationships and series of lectures on the Bhagavad Gita. The Bhagavad Gita, forming the philosophical portion of the poem Mahabharata, expounds the fundamental values of life. It synthesises man’s thinking, feelings and actions, to live a life of purpose. The Bhagavad Gita gives a philosophy of life that can be translated into practical living, in one’s social, official and domestic lives.
