Swami Swahananda

Issue 74

American Vedantist

is a not-for-profit online journal. We are working to develop Vedanta in the West, and to create a sense of connection among all of us who are on a path toward self-realization. To those ends, we are exploring ways in which Western forms of art express this spiritual quest. Therefore, we are sponsoring:

The Swahananda Prizes for Short Story

This is a new competition. To understand why it is called The Swahananda Prizes, please read the material published with this invitation to enter your work.

Winner of First Prize will receive $1,200. To get some sense of what we’re looking for, please read the accompanying note, What’s A “Spiritual” Story?

May you be well and in bright spirits,
