The meditative state is the highest state of existence. So long as there is desire, no real happiness can come. It is only the contemplative, witness-like study of objects that brings to us real enjoyment and happiness.

Upcoming Events
Vedanta
Vedanta is based on the Vedas - one of the most sacred and ancient scriptures of the Hindus. It is a system of philosophy which is based on the idea that all reality is a single principle, Brahman (God), and teaches that the believer's goal is to transcend the limitations of self-identity and realize one's unity with Brahman. It is not based on the life and teachings of any one particular saint or prophet. It is a federation of faiths and a commonwealth of spiritual concepts.
Harmony of Religions
Every religion teaches man to fill his being with the glory of God and to transcend pettiness and selfishness. It trains him in the methods of unattachment and discernment, so that he may aim high and attain spiritual perfection.
