About this listen

The Upanishads are an assortment of texts central to Hinduism (or the Sanatan Dharma) recorded from oral traditions. They contain the philosophical principles and concepts of Hinduism, including karma (right action), brahman (ultimate reality), the atman (true Self or soul), moksha (liberation from the cycle of reincarnation) and other complex Vedic doctrines which explain Self-realization through the ancient yoga system and other meditational and service practices.

"Upanishad" is a Sanskrit word which translates to “sitting at the feet of” or “sitting down near." This alludes to receiving wisdom and guidance humbly from a realized guru.

There are more than 200 Upanishads. Thirteen of these include the core philosophical teachings of what we now call Hinduism. The philosophical concepts contained in the Upanishads are principal to the Sanatan Dharma, but many are also shared with Buddhism and Jainism.

The deeply poetic texts govern ideals of ultimate Self-realization as well as concepts of non-violence, compassion, charity and self-restraint as ethical concerns.

Beautifully presented by Jagannatha Dasa and the artists and devotees of the Vedic Preservation Society here is an audiobook which not only entertains, enlightens, and deeply informs but just might positively change your life forever, for the better.

A Fantastic Presentation of a Classic Works

I really enjoyed the Kaushitaki Upinishad. This is the second Upinishad from the Vedic Preservation Society I've listened to so far. I definitely intend on listening to all of them.

Despite the Upinishads being older than the Old Testiment, I find incredible value in it's Philosophical thought, and I really believe it's more relevant than ever before.

As our Society seems to slip farther and farther into materialistic shallowness, it's more important than ever for people to think more deeply on the very essence of being a part of the Human race. Day after day we zip about from home to work, from work to go on daily errands, make calls, answer emails, and then zip back home to make dinner, to clean, and only rarely in our current era do we stop to breathe fresh air, to look at the wild flowers growing in the woods, or Meditate on the meaning of life itself.

The Upinishads have a way of making you hit the pause button to reflect more deeply on your life, forcing us to meditate on the very fabric of the Universe we think we know.

These works, thousands of years after being written down with the advent of writing systems, are an invaluable contribution to human knowledge. Take a deep breath and delve into these masterpieces of reflective thinking!
