Product Description:

"Upanishads Part 1" by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a profound collection that delves into the heart of ancient Indian spiritual wisdom. The word "Upanishad" means "sitting near the master," signifying not just physical proximity but also mental and emotional closeness. Only through this connection can true knowledge flow.

As Indian society began to question traditional Vedic rites and rituals, the Upanishads emerged as an attempt to shift the focus from external ceremonies to an internal spiritual quest. In this collection, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar brings clarity to four essential Upanishads: Ishavasya, Kena, Katha, and Yogasara.

Each text holds profound teachings:

• The Ishavasya Upanishad reveals the secret to living harmoniously in the world.

• The Kena Upanishad asks fundamental questions about the origins of life, the essence of creation, and the nature of prana.

• The Katha Upanishad urges us to adopt the innocence of Nachiketa to understand death and embrace it with openness and fearlessness.

• The Yogasara Upanishad clears misconceptions about the nature of yoga and emphasizes the importance of experiencing yoga through the guidance of a true Guru.

Through Gurudev’s insightful commentary, these Upanishads unfold the deepest spiritual truths in the simplest of words, guiding readers on a transformative journey of self-discovery and enlightenment.
