[Advaita-l] Need information on learning Vedas online

[Venkatesh Murthy]

Namaste

I think it is very difficult to follow Vaidika Marga in foreign countries.
In USA and other western countries there are unlimited methods to satisfy
the tongue and the sex organs that is Jihva and Upastha. You have to be
very careful there.

What use is learning Vedas by Skype if we cannot give up desire for luxury
things for Jihva and Upastha?
