Jiivan-Veda provides the foundation for the Yoga-Ethics course.

” Jiivan-Veda”-A Guide to Human Conduct authored by Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiiji  and first published in 1957, can aptly be called the  bhagwat-gita or yogic-bible for National Character Building or the fifth veda besides other four known vedas. It freshly revisits the age-old moral codes and provides an enlightened contemporary interpretation. It makes these codes as relevant today as they were when they were articulated in Shri Patanjali’s yoga sutras.  It reminds us of the cardinal values that form the foundation of a peaceful world. It also opens the secret sacred door to the transcendental world of spiritual enlightenment.Let each citizen of the world be made aware & deeply conscious of the ideas contained in this pocket book.” -Acharya Shambhushivananda Avadhuta,Chancellor (Kulapati), AM Gurukula.
