Isa Upanishad has only 18 mantras, but these contain the entire spread of Hindu spiritual and religious traditions. This talk by Swami Samarpanananda introduces Isa Upanishad.
The Upanishads are the science of freedom through the knowledge of one’s true self. The last sections of each of the four Vedas are known as Upanishad. Since these come at the end of the Vedas, they are known as Vedanta. The term can also be interpreted to mean ‘the essence of the Vedas’.
The Upanishads are not easy to understand without a commentary and a proper teacher. The truths presented in the Upanishads (these are not philosophical speculations) are so subtle and profound that only those with extremely sharp and penetrating minds can grasp them fully.
These talks were delivered at Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational and Research Institute, Belur Math, Howrah.
