An archive, kept open · Miami, since 1969
For six decades, Sri Swami Jyotirmayananda has taught Vedanta and the great scriptures of India — lecture by recorded lecture. None of it was written for an algorithm. Every recorded lecture is free.
17,690 recorded lectures — on tape, film, and video, digitized and kept by the Foundation.
Everyone arrives carrying something. Choose the door that fits, and we hand you three teachings — not three thousand.
Worry that has become the weather of the day — racing thoughts, thin sleep, no off-switch. Begin with one short teaching on how the mind steadies.
Begin hereWho am I? Why do we suffer? What is all this for? The questions Vedanta was built to answer — studied with a teacher, not skimmed.
Begin the pathThe practice taught plainly — posture, breath, and inner focus, from the first sitting onward.
Learn the practiceThe Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Yoga Vasistha — taught verse by verse across decades.
Enter the libraryYou already sit, study, or serve — the introductions are behind you. The long series run verse by verse for hundreds of hours, and the Foundation is preparing a members’ room for sustained, live study.
Go deeperEach door opens onto a short, chosen path — never onto the whole archive at once.
Born in Bihar in 1931, Sri Swami Jyotirmayananda has taught Vedanta nearly every day for over sixty years — and almost all of it was recorded as it was given. The archive is his life's work. Keeping it open is ours.
Nobody should be handed twelve thousand hours on a first visit. These are the doorways we hand every newcomer — the same ones, every time.
A short welcome, then one lecture a day for seven days — arranged in order, with a clear finish line. By Sunday you will know whether this teacher is yours.
