On a Hindu philosophical classic.
Mundaka Upanishad is an ancient Sanskrit Vedic text of the primary 10 major Upanishads, embedded inside Atharva Veda. It has 64 verses (mantras) which are not used in rituals but are teachings of spiritual knowledge.They define higher and lower knowledge, describing Brahman, self, the relationship between world and Brahman and path to Brahman. The Mundaka Upanishad finally states that knowing Brahman is freedom, fearlessness, liberation and bliss.
In Wisdom of the Ancient Sages, Swami Rama shares with the modern world the powerful and inspiring teachings of one of the worlds greatest spiritual texts: the Mundaka Upanishad. This beautiful translation and commentary affirms human nature as peaceful, creative, and transcendent. Its message will assist anyone who seeks to walk the path of personal and spiritual development.
Mundaka Upanishad is from the Gopatha-Brahmana of the Atharva Veda. Whereas its Samhita portion survives in two recensions, after sages Paippalada and Shaunaka, the Brahmana portion available today is only of sage Gopatha. Mundaka Upanishad gets its name from “a head shaved of all heavy botheration”. By the sincere study of this Upanishad, one’s mind resolves all troubles, difficulties seem trifles. It quenches the thirst of the sincere seeker and in beautiful verse satiates the heart of the ardent aspirant. Mundaka is especially written for the man who is willing to rise above the crowd, whose performance in daily life is extraordinary, who is willing to work harder than his colleagues. It is for the soul who uses his talents to be creative and productive, and is at the same time thirsting for the Unknown. na tatra sūryo bhāti na candratārakaṃ nemā vidyuto bhānti kuto'yamagniḥ । tameva bhāntamanubhāti sarvaṃ tasya bhāsā sarvamidaṃ vibhāti ॥ 2.2.10 2.2.10 There no sensory light reaches, that is fathomless, silent and still. There is no distinction there, no features of any sort even when examined under the blazing sun or the cool moonlight or even the farthest star. Purity is a seamless whole, that the light of intellect does not grasp, nor does lightening illumine. Then how could our small candle flames or fancy torches or puny ego reach there? By Brahman is the functioning of men and machines, By it is governed the tempest and the breeze. All is made brilliant by its kindly light, all of us touch glory under its shade. Any victory or fame is due to its grace. Any win is its will. All powerhouses are powered by it, Man becomes a king or saint due to its kindness. For the Sanskrit grammar enthusiast, each verse is given in original Devanagari with a Latin transliteration and Padacheda. Anvaya and Cases are listed for many verses.
Embedded within the Atharva Veda, Mundaka Upanishad is one of the primary Upanishads. Its 64 verses expound the heart of Vedic philosophy, the nature of knowledge and reality, the qualities that the seeker needs to have, the proper way of living and practice, and the dangers associated with age-old spiritual misconceptions. Even though the Upanishads are timeless, their language has become dated. To approach them by oneself in our time is a challenge. Acharya Prashant provides the desperately needed guidance that we need to understand and relish these heights of religious literature. The Mundaka Upanishad is divided into three Mundakas, and this book contains the first of them. The timeless wisdom of Vedanta is translated into contemporary language and context, and the right way of interpretation and utilization is elucidated with unmatched precision. All the power lies hidden within, and this book will help the reader to find and exercise it.
