Ishavasyopanishad
Ishavasyopanishad (or Isha Upanishad) is one of the ten principal upanishads which present the essence and culmination of all knowledge found within India's most ancient and sacred texts; the vedas. It focuses on the oneness of all creation, the illusion of multiplicity, and the need to carry out one's duties in the world with detachment. It contains just 18 verses.
It is believed that listening to the upanishads is the first step towards discovering our unique spiritual path to liberation. In 2020, Sri Madhusudan Sai gave a series of talks over the course of a month, which methodically and thoroughly explained the significance of the Ishavasyopanishad and its relevance to us in our lives. This podcast series is compiled from those talks.
Ishavasyopanishad
1. Live selflessly through sacrifice
In this first episode, Sri Madhusudan Sai unpacks the wisdom contained in the first two verses of the Ishavasyopanishad. He explains concepts like the all-pervading and infinite nature of Brahman, the importance of living selflessly through sacrifice, and how one can attain liberation even while carrying out worldly duties.
This episode sets the tone for the series by giving the listener a taste of the Upanishadic insights that hold the keys to leading a life of purpose and meaning.
