Aitareya Upanishad

Aitareya Upanishad is home to one of the well-known Mahavakayas of the Upanishads – Prajnanam Brahma meaning Consciousness I Am. Fascinating and enrapturing, this sacred text unravels the mysteries of creation and elucidates on the Supreme Knowledge of the Self.

‘Even the Creator is not free to create a world as he likes.’ We with our actions – known and unknown, conscious and unconscious – are making the blueprint of our future. The Lord is but a contractor, who executes our plans, as we give it to Him, asserts  Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda.

Amritabindu Upanishad

Can the mortal ever become immortal? Can the mind make us immortal? Can knowledge make us immortal? Does immortality mean living forever in the body, as the body? Listen to the nectarine message of the Vedas in the Amritabindu Upanishad and enjoy its immortal Truth. Partaking even a drop of it can immortalise us. This is the assurance of sages.

Swami Tejomayanandaji’s depiction makes this immortal and subtle ambrosia simple to follow and a delight to swallow.

Geeta Marathon

Amidst the glorious setting and background of the Himalayas and Pujya Gurudev’s Samadhi Sthal of Sidhbhari, Pujya Swami Swaroopananda gave us a rare treat of a marathon talk on the entire Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta in October 2015.

Testimony of one of the camp attendees in the form of a poem:

Some of us had a rare opportunity to listen to the entire Geeta during the Marathon camps at Sidhbari. Besides learning in depth the complete Geeta at a stretch which sometime may take years or even a lifetime, it also turned out to be a life transforming event and the most memorable moments of our life.

As we traversed through the battlefield of Kurukshetra with him, we gained insight into Arjuna’s dejection and the ‘Krishna cure’ that the Lord kindly prescribes.

It became uncanny that,

the battlefield was within us,

the opposing forces being the noble intentions seemingly few in number,

against the mighty façade of negative and defeating notions in our bosoms,

and there stands every Arjuna,

in no man’s land,

desperately seeking victory and yet

overwhelmed by the sheer scale of fears and doubts within,

kneeling in surrender to The Supreme for guidance,

and is lifted beyond doubt through His grace,

To fight and live gloriously,

To emerge victorious,

In this sea of time and space,

unbuoyed by the ups and downs,

clinging to the very heart of the ocean,

the eye of the storm- The Lord seen without,

To break free into the beyond,

He becomes the Lord within

Isavasya Upanishad

The Great Rishis of the Upanishads explain to us that life is to be lived for the purpose of improving ourselves to reach the State of Super Consciousness. Hence the Upanishads are the sacred scriptures of the Hindus of which the Isavasya Upanishad is one of the shortest of its kind – a brief poem discussion the Self (Atman). The Sanskrit term “Isha Vasyam” literally translates to “enveloped by the Lord” and refers to the theory of Atman. Adi Sankara has commented on these verses in Sanskrit.

Kaivalya Upanishad

The poetic diction, systematic development of thought, at once clear, concise and scientific in arrangement of highly philosophical ideas make Kaivalya Upanisad one of the most striking minor Upanisads. The great commentator Narayana calls the Kaivalya Upanisad as the Brahma Satarudriya i.e. the Satarudriya which glorifies the unconditioned Brahman as opposed to the personal God, Lord Siva of the original Satarudriya.

True to the Upanisadika style, where story form is considered as the most apt devise to make the subject easily intelligible to the readers, in this Upanisad Asvalayana, the great teacher of Rig Veda is a disciple and Lord Brahma, the Creator himself is the teacher, which makes this as the most valuable amongst the ‘minor’ Upanisads.
