Spiritual Talk given on July 2, 2017 by Swami Vedarupananda at the Santa Barbara Vedanta Temple. In his talk, "What is Enlightenment," Sw. Vedarupananda explains that the goal of the Vedantic spiritual aspirant is to seek enlightenment, which is best defined as knowledge of the Self or Self Realization. Using helpful metaphorical stories throughout his talk, Swami teaches us how to achieve our goal with both intuitional knowledge and direct experience.
