The Esoteric Teaching of the Vedas is the king of education, the most secret of all confidential secrets. It is the purest knowledge, and because it gives direct perception of the self by realization, it is the perfection of spiritual wisdom. It is eternal, and to its initiates it gives profound and ever-increasing transcendental bliss. [see Bhagavad-gītā 9.2] Thus the term esoteric applies to this very high spiritual Teaching in all the senses defined above.

Pure devotion to the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the superlative solution for all the problems and sufferings of life. The Esoteric Teaching is the ancient science of devotional service to the Lord. Many people are cynical about the Absolute Truth, love and devotion because they have been cheated by ordinary man-made religion, bewildered by phony speculative teachings and disappointed by mundane relationships. But the only reason a counterfeit has any value is that the real thing exists somewhere. Similarly, actual love and satisfying spiritual life do exist; you just may not have encountered them because they are very, very rare. This Esoteric Teaching is the recondite knowledge of authentic spiritual life and pure devotion; once understanding this powerful Teaching, you will never again be cheated by imitations because you will be able to directly experience the actual spiritual Truth.
In this world of illusion, ignorance and suffering, spin, deception and disinformation, there is a tremendous need for enlightened souls, authentic spiritual Master Teachers who can reveal and explain the clear Absolute Truth to those sincere souls who desire it. The purpose of the Esoteric Teaching is to train such powerful self-realized spiritual Teachers to provide practical knowledge of self-realization by their personal example for the good of humanity and the world. Anyone who accepts the guidance leading to this high level of spiritual mastery automatically resolves all their personal issues and problems in the course of their training.
What is the value of this knowledge? After all, it is only information. But consider the knowledge, "There is a great treasure buried under the southeast corner of your house." It is only information, but it makes self-evident what you have to do to gain great benefit. Similarly, the Esoteric Teaching is 'only' complete information about the soul, the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the science of attaining self-realization by pure devotional service. Self-realization is the complete solution to all problems; and to anyone who completely understands this Teaching, the path of complete self-realization becomes completely self-evident.
This Esoteric Teaching site is the premiere online resource for spiritual education. Here you can obtain the most precious thing in existence: transcendental knowledge of the soul and your relationship with the Absolute, by which all ignorance is destroyed. For one who understands and realizes this Esoteric Teaching, there is no need for any other knowledge, for he or she has attained complete happiness, fulfillment of desires and spiritual freedom by transcendental realization of the self. This Esoteric Teaching comes from Vedānta-sūtra, the ultimate conclusions of the Vedas, the world's oldest and most complete spiritual culture. It is an open secret; anyone can read the instructions, but only those who actually practice them under competent guidance will understand and get the benefit.
"Between August and December 2008, since you came in to my life, I became a complete new person, all my life and understanding has changed and all my problems of life have been solved. I was very persistent and faithful and now I am very happy and peaceful." —Inci M.
The Esoteric Teaching is free. As spiritual children of God, everyone is entitled to this exalted transcendental knowledge. Delivering the Esoteric Teaching to suffering humanity is not possible for a commercial business, nor even an ordinary religious or spiritual organization. It requires a very special environment: a transcendental Esoteric School where sincere individuals can associate with pure devotees, learn the Absolute Truth, apply it to solve all the problems of life, and share it with others. Our Principal Benefactor is kind-hearted enough that He takes care of those who do His work in appropriately mysterious ways. The usual churchy business, solicitations and politics are not part of our community values at all. Yes there is stuff you can buy here, but the essential and original source materials of the Esoteric Teaching are always available free of cost, and you will never be contacted for a donation.
Thus our complete Vedic library, containing the cream of the Esoteric Teaching of the Vedas, and the other departments of this site will always remain completely free and open to sincere seekers after spiritual truth. And our commitment to open-source values means that all of our original material (video, audio, books and articles) is not locked up by copyright but freely available for personal sharing or noncommercial syndication under the most liberal Creative Commons license.
We are a small, intimate and autonomous esoteric school, not affiliated with any other organization or teaching. Even if you have had contact with other Vedic spiritual groups, you have never encountered an esoteric school like this. We are presenting the complete Absolute Truth at the highest level of pure devotion, along with the process to realize it for yourself. Pure devotional service—uttama-bhakti—is qualitatively different from other spiritual methods because it is uninterrupted, unconditional love and devotional service untouched by material activities, mental speculation, mystical powers or ecclesiatical politics. If you do not avail yourself of the wisdom herein, you will never know what you are missing: the unlimited, self-regenerating treasure of pure devotion—pure, eternal, ecstatic unconditional transcendental love of Godhead—buried deep in the core of your own heart.
“When there is hunger and thirst, tasting varieties of food and drink make one feel satisfied. Similarly, worshiping the Lord with pure devotion awakens powerful, astonishing and ever-increasing transcendental bliss within the heart. Pure devotional service in transcendental consciousness is very rare: it cannot be procured by ordinary religious or pious activity, even for hundreds of thousands of lives. It can be obtained only by paying one price: intense desire to attain it. If it is available somewhere, surely one must acquire it without delay.” [Śrī Padyāvalī, 13-14]
