ABSTRACT

Sant Keshavadas, like Swamiji, is a universal man. Santji introduces everyone to his elevating vision of spiritual life, calling one and all to feel the Lord’s presence through repeating His names. He especially brings out the point that what name you call Him is not important, as “Truth is One, many are the names.” He cannot rightly be labeled as belonging to just one particular faith or philosophy; he is not just a Hindu or Buddhist or Christian or even a representative of just the East or the West. The original scriptures of Hinduism are known as the Vedas. The last sections of each Veda are known as the Upanishads, and the philosophy they contain is called Vedanta or literally, the culmination of the Veda. The path of Jnana Yoga comes directly out of these Upanishads: to realize the Absolute through direct perception of the Truth of It through the pure intellect.
