Upanishad Pravachan
Upanishads have been at the center of Indian Philosophy ever since their existence. His discourse on Upanishads reveals spiritual ideas that are inspiring for a seeker and encourages him to make enhanced personal efforts in his quest for the ultimate truth. The rituals of self-introspection, mentioned in the various Upanishads, are discussed in great detail during the discourse. Two key concepts - Brahma (ultimate reality) and Aatma (the soul of the self)- which are of paramount importance for a seeker are well elucidated by Swami ji in His pontification on the Upanishads.
