Joseph Emmett has been a student of Vedanta for over 25 years, teaching this “perennial philosophy” around the world, with over a decade spent at the Vedanta Academy in Malavli, India under the guidance and teaching of acclaimed Vedanta philosopher and author, Swami A. Parthasarathy.

Would you like to dive in deeper? Our recommendation is to read the clearest and most complete work on Vedanta in recent history — ‘Vedanta Treatise: The Eternities’ by A. Parthasarathy, which can be found on Amazon. We also encourage you to subscribe to these conversations if you find them valuable for more weekly insights to the perennial philosophy.
