Here is a video that gives a quick insight into Vedanta:
Next time, AIF will explore the Punk Islam Movement through a screening and discussion of the movie: Taqwacore.

Interfaith Dialog Night - Hinduism
Gillian Renault from the Vedanta Center of Atlanta came to speak to us. She spoke of both her personal journey to Hinduism and answered questions about general conceptions of Hinduism. She spoke of why she chose to follow the path of Vedanta and gave us a history of the philosophy. We had a discussion about the differences and similarities between contemporary and traditional movements within religions and how many of the contemporary movements look to the origin of a particular religion to find the truth in it without, hopefully, resorting to fundamentalism. We also touched on the development of and sustainability of movements within a religion.
