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.”

Tapovan Shatkam (incl. Stuti)

Swami Tapovanam was a Mahatma, a true Vedantin of deep devotion who attained the highest spiritual realization. He chose to remain in his humble, mud-plastered one-room kutia with a small verandah in Uttarkashi. He lived away from the worldly, materialistic life, reveling in His own Self. He despised all ostentations, physical and mental. He recommended study, reflection and attempts at direct experience. Tapovanji Maharaj was the Guru of Pujya Gurudev. Tapovan Shatkam is a prayerful hymn, a salutation to this great master composed in the vocabulary of the Upanishads which invokes the Supreme Self and identifies that Self Divine with Swami Tapovanam.

In this series Pujya Guruji expounds on the saguna and nirguna svarupa of Swami Tapovanam through Tapovan Stuti and Tapovan Shatkam

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.

Vedanta Madhuryam

Just as a dry fruit is loaded with sweetness, Pujya Guruji Tejomayananda highlights that Vedanta though may appear dry, is extremely sweet. Can something about our own Self be bitter to us? Vedanta deals with the nature of our Self, thus its sweetness.

Yoga Vasishtha

The original Yoga Vasistha condensed to 1,000 verses has been further abridged by Swami Tejomayanandaji into 86 verses. Man is proud of his possessions and runs day and night after pleasures. Often power and position pose problems while his possessions and pleasures turn into pain. Observing the nature of the world one wonders – What is life all about? What is the purpose of human existence? If everything is fleeting, what is real and true? Such and many more questions come to the mind of most of us who think. Thus begins our search for a Guru.

Now imagine Lord Rama in the role of a questioning disciple and a Sage as His Guru and you have the Yoga Vashishtha, a great treasure of the highest knowledge and greatest stories, which answers multifold questions of life. Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda covers the entire philosophical thought of Sanatana Dharma in this series of talks.
