UPANISHAD VAHINI

Yatin — Tue, 22 Sep 2015 04:30:51 +0000

The Upanishads form a part of the Vedas, India's most ancient spiritual scriptures. The word Upanishad itself denotes "sitting close to the teacher" as well as "the study and practice of innate truth," said Baba. As a body of philosophy, these scriptures are difficult and sometimes elusive. In this collection of articles compiled in 1968, Sathya Sai Baba explains the teachings of the ten most prominent Upanishads. Swami covers a range of topics with practical relevance to the aspirtant, including non-dualism, meditation on the One, detachment, discrimination, and the attainment of the ultimate reality. This is a valuable precursor to reading the Upanishads.

Among the issues covered by Swami are: the need for education to delve into the nature of the Absolute, the importance of the intensive cultivation of the spirit and the inculcation of human values, development of character, the teacher's profession and truth, the task of teachers, parents and society, the benefits of disciplined thought and conduct, and happiness through awareness of the Atma. This Vahini is a must for everyone concerned with the state of education today.
