The Principal Upanishads:
Wisdom of the Self
Journey into Vedanta — the philosophical summit of the Vedas. Study the principal Upanishads, understand the identity of Atman and Brahman, and explore the four Mahavakyas that hold the essence of Indian thought, with guided reflection.
📖 Course Overview
The Upanishads are the concluding portion of the Vedas — which is why they are called Vedanta, “the end of the Vedas.” Where the earlier hymns look outward at the cosmos, the Upanishads turn inward to ask the deepest question of all: Who am I?
This course guides you through the principal Upanishads one by one — Isha, Kena, Katha, Prashna, Mundaka, Mandukya, and passages from Chandogya and Brihadaranyaka. You will learn the central teachings of Atman (the Self), Brahman (ultimate reality), Maya, and Moksha — not as dry doctrine, but as a living inquiry.
Each session pairs the original Sanskrit shloka with clear translation and reflection, so the wisdom becomes something you can contemplate and live, not merely memorise.
