This is part two of the adventures in Advaita Vedanta... will you travel with me a while?


Textual Tuesday

Hari Om

The schema of study devised at Chinmaya Mission is the subject of this post each week. To see all texts referred to, click the label below ("SuggtdReading")

JNAANASAARA is another of those tiny texts that pack a punch.

If you have read as per the listing presented, it will be slowly dawning that the entire premise of Advaita arises from the Upanishads - commonly said to be 108 in number, but of which some ten or eleven are deeply studied when approaching the subject.

Here, Guruji draws out the very kernel of Upanishadic teaching. In eighteen shlokas you will acquire a clear picture of those mountainous texts!

  1. Thanks for sharing, Yamini. Letting go, or sacrifice, is crucial in attaining contentment. Actually, coming to think of it, it's a bit contradictory, isn't it!?
    One giving up - to get more! That's the beauty of it!

  2. Guruji's pieces of advice seem to be gems amidst fake beads.
