Jiva Yatra with Swami Sakshatkrtananda

Journey of Jīva (Jīva-Yātrā) with Swami Sakshatkrtananda

The śāstra compares the life of the individual to a yātrā, pilgrimage. In a worldly yātrā, one travels from one’s home to reach the goal of a holy site for purposes of worship. In the vision of the Vedānta, this pilgrimage starts from the jīva, one’s self-perception as a limited wanting person, and ends in Brahman, the reality of oneself as the unlimited source of being. The text Jīva-Yātrā is a set of nine verses composed by a saint of Sringeri Math, Swami Jnanananda Bharati. He has composed it based on the chariot imagery found in Kaṭha Upaniṣad.
