2026 Mundaka Upanishad (select verses) with Swami Sakshatkrtananda

Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad with bhāṣyam
Swami Sakshatkrtananda
This upaniṣad occupies an important place in the teaching tradition because it covers all the important topics, besides the main topic which every upaniṣad reveals. At the beginning, Sage Aṅgiras is asked by Śaunaka, “What is that one thing, knowing which everything gets known?” The sage replies that there are two types of knowledge to be gained: parā-vidyā and aparā-vidyā – knowledge of the absolute truth, i.e., Brahman, and knowledge of the world. Both the finite and apparent nature of the world must be known to develop dispassion for the world and pursue the absolute truth. Swamiji unfolds the glories of the upaniṣad with the masterful bhāṣyam of Śrī Ādi Śaṅkarācārya.
