Star of Mysore (SOM): What is Vedanta?
Shri Eswaran: Vedanta is a compound word Veda + Anta. Veda – knowledge, anta – end. So, Vedanta literally means the end of knowledge. It presents the eternal principles of life and living. It enables a life of mental peace combined with dynamic action in the world. It equips one with clarity of intellect to deal with the challenges of life. Above all, it leads one to the ultimate goal of Self-Realisation.
