Why read Upanishads?

7/18/2013

It is now believed that Upanishads hold the truth about nature of Atman (or inner self) and Brahmana (or the cosmos/universe). The Upanishads are not only philosophical texts but actually the path on which we take steps in life. You may notice that on an average day, you would ask yourself about hundreds of questions. Where do you get the answers from? The answers lie hidden in these Upanishads. It is believed that one who has the knowledge of these Upanishads has answers to all difficult, complex as well as easy and day to day situations of life.


Vedas are composed in a language that is not understandable to a common man. So, many teachers and scholars are making continuous efforts in simplifying content and the associated ' written in these Vedas and Upanishads. Once a common man has explored this truth of Upanishads and Vedas, he knows the secret to joy, happiness and eternal life (in light). Many English writers have transcribed the original Upanishad given by Sri Adi Shankaracharya into simple and easy wordings. Some of the most well-known translators of Upanishads in English are Dr. Roer, Max Mueller (in ‘’Sacred Books of the East’’), Raja Rajendra Lal Mitra and many more.

    Vedic Culture, which   is the culture of the original Himalayan Masters,    is one of the most advanced ancient civilizations.  It is a tradition which has given mankind several treasures such Yoga, Meditation, Conscious-Living and Vedic Sciences such as Ayurveda, Vedic Physics & Vedic Mathematics.

    It was always a scientific culture that understood the very mechanics and workings of this Universe. Their deities, their gods and goddesses were all a way of expressing and explaining these energies and their inter-working. Modern Quantum Mechanics is just starting to understand string theory, dark matter etc. which have all been fundamental to the Vedic understanding. Because of this, they developed ways and methods which allowed one to best tap into life-energy itself.

    Vedic Culture, as it was practiced by the Himalayan Masters, was always a "way of life" and not a religion.

    Their basic view was that, there is only ONE Supreme God-head (God as our creator) and each one of us can find our path to it- experience union with that divinity (Yoga) in their own way.

    Because of this, anyone with any religious affiliations and beliefs can still benefit from their knowledgeable ways of Vedic Wisdom.

    Our attempt here is to present this ancient wisdom in a modern light, so our readers can interpret the true, essential meaning more easily and then extrapolate it to their own specific scenarios and enhance the quality of their life and being-ness.
