DESCRIPTIONS:

Brhadaranyaka Upanishad:
Swami Viditatmanandaji continues the annual unfolding of Brhadäranyaka Upanisad with the bhashyam of Adi Sankaracharya. This year’s topics will include the madhu-brahmana, illustrating the oneness of creation, and the teaching of Yajnavalkya in the assembly of scholars convened by King Janaka.

Ishavasya Upanishad 1 to 6:
This Upanishad has the special significance of being the only one in the samhita portion of the Shukla Yajur Veda. The first eight verses are a focused, complete unfoldment of the nature of the self and one’s identity with Ishvara, resulting in the vision of oneness in which there is no delusion, no sorrow. This is a continuation of the 2022 course, when verses 1-2 were presented by Swami Muktatmanandaji in more detail.
