and adhyasa means superimposition, but what that means will look at it. It's really important

for students of Adwaita Vedanta.

So that's one reason we're taking it up.

So we'll have a class on a Adhyaasabhasha.

Not a detailed one, because that would be really vast in itself.

Maybe we'll do that later sometime, you know, revisit it and study it

in depth. But just what we can manage in the next few classes. All right. Now I'll start with a chant.

Oam, Narayanam, Padmabhavhaam,

Vashtim,

just tuputra parasharam, ja, Vyas Bhavhaam, Vasistam, Shaktim, that puttraparam,
