Mandukya Upanishad

The Mandukya Upanishad is the shortest among the principle Upanishads having just twelve mantras. However, it presents the quintessence of our entire teaching of Upanishads. It analyses the entire range of human consciousness in the three states of waking (jagrata), dream (svapna), and dreamless sleep (sushupti), which are common to all human beings. It asserts unequivocally that the Absolute Reality is non-dual (advaita) and attributeless (nirguna). It provides a unique sadhana through the use of the symbol AUM to reach Oneself.

The result is a refreshing new perspective on India’s ancient wisdom, resplendent with the colours and organic character of a dynamic, deeply felt and deliberately examined life.

Shvetashvatara Upanishad

Shvetashvatara Upanishad, an important text on Vedanta starts with a discussion on the original cause of creation. Whilst exploring concepts of time, space, nature, power, deities, heaven, karma and elements, it gives us a divine vision of viewing this multidimensional and vast world. Through beautiful mantras, we understand the role of meditation, devotion, prayer, surrender, the Guru and scriptures in our life. It mainly reveals the true nature of God/Truth and establishes our essential Oneness with Him. With the thought-provoking reflections of Swami Tejomayananda, we cannot help but come to the conclusion, ‘ I am infinite and immortal in my true nature’.

Taittiriya Upanishad

Nowhere in the world do we get such a complete study of the human personality in all its exhaustive features as in the Taittiriya Upanishad. Apart from a clear description of the five sheaths, it gives a vivid picture of the exhaustive training imparted in the educational system of the period, with instructions and advice on, how to live Vedanta in life; Taittiriya Upanishad occupies an unrivalled place in the Divine Tradition of Hinduism. The Upanishad, declares a manifesto upon the ‘Hindu way of Living’. These Commandments have a democratic Hindu touch which is the unique speciality of Hindu philosophy. “He who realises Brahman attains the Supreme Brahman – Truth, Knowledge and Infinite.”

Upanishad Darshan

The Upanishads enshrine the very acme of wisdom. It is that Knowledge knowing which everything becomes known.
Inspired by the beauty and magnitude of the Upanishads, Swami Tejomayananda gives us a glimpse of the heights to which they rise and the depths they touch. Every Upanishad presents the same Truth from a different angle, each Upanishad is unique and special in its own way. Swamiji focuses on the beauty of these aspects and strings them together, in his own inimitable manner. His in-depth knowledge of this sublime subject matter is revealed in his masterly handling of this booklet.
Swamiji has a deep love for the subject matter of Vedanta. His devotion and commitment to its study is complete. Quoting from the various Upanishads, he inspires sincere seekers of the truth to delve into their depths. Swamiji gives here an overview of the Upanishads, which would be great benefit to the newcomers in their study. It would equally delight the serious seeker by its mastery.

Upanishad Ganga

Upanishadic wisdom has a timeless appeal since it deals with the basic aspirations of the human being – the desire to exist, the desire to know, and the desire to be happy. Upanishads deal with the nature of the Subject, the common substratum of all objective enquiries, and go to the basic question: Who am I?

Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda has conceptualised an entire Television serial titled Upanishad Ganga to bring these concepts in the form of stories. Pujya Guruji explains these concepts in detail giving the complete vision of the Upanishads in his simple and inimitable style.
