If I have to put the whole Vedic Tradition in one word: Live! That’s all. Live!
कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छत्ग्ण् समाः | एवं त्वयि नान्यथेतोऽस्ति न कर्म लिप्यते नरे ॥ kurvanneveha karmaaNi jijeeviShechChathgN^ samaaH | evaM thvayi naanyaThethoaAsthi na karma lipyathe nare || The translation says: “Even while doing deeds here, one may desire to live a hundred years, Thus, on you, not otherwise, that this is it, the deed adheres, not the…

Not only what you perceive as the world, even the perceiver is changing!
तेन त्यक्तेन भुञ्जीथा मा गृधः कस्यस्विद्धनम् ॥ Thena Thyakthena Bhunjeethaa Ma Gridhah Kasyasviddhanam || Cognizing whatever is, is change established in changing, and this whole thing is filled with Consciousness and intelligence. Don’t think only the planet on which you are standing is moving; the whole Solar System in which the planet is established, even…

With this renounced, you may enjoy. Covet not the wealth of anyone at all
Listen! Listen! I am moving to the next line of this Upanishad. Please understand this next line: तेन त्यक्तेन भुञ्जीथा मा गृधः कस्यस्विद्धनम् ॥ Thena Thyakthena Bhunjeethaa Ma Gridhah Kasyasviddhanam || The literal translation is: “With this renounced, you may enjoy. Covet not the wealth of anyone at all.” Looks very simple moralistic instruction. But…

Paata Bhedha
Listen! My pronounciation “EeshaavaaSHyam” (ईशावाश्यम्) is also “paata bhedha”. How I heard from my masters, I am repeating. But, actually, it is “EeshaavaaSyam” (ईशावास्यम्) – “S” (स), not “vaaSHya” (वाश्य). My masters, they used the same “SH” (श) for “vaaSya” (वास्य) also. I am retaining the “paata bhedha” as it is, as a respect and reverence to my masters’ way…

ईशावास्यमिदं सर्वं यत्किञ्च जगत्यां जगत् । तेन त्यक्तेन भुञ्जीथा मा गृधः कस्यस्विद्धनम् ॥ Eeshaavaasyamidham Sarvam Yathkincha Jagathyaam Jagath | Thena Thyakthena Bhunjeethaa Ma Gridhah Kasyasviddhanam || The translation is: “By the Consciousness filled must this all be, Whatever moving thing there is in the ever-moving world. With this renounced, you may enjoy. Covet not the wealth of anyone…

Perception, Fact, Truth, Reality
ईशावास्यमिदं सर्वं यत्किञ्च जगत्यां जगत् । Eeshaavaasyamidham Sarvam Yathkincha Jagathyaam Jagath | “Whatever is moving in the moving world is enveloped by Consciousness” I should use the word “filled”. Even “enveloped” is an incomplete word. “Filled”! “Enveloped” means, something which is getting enveloped is away from what is enveloped. No! Listen! “Yathkincha Jagathyaam Jagath” (यत्किञ्च…

The first statement of Eeshavaasya Upanishad is not only the Truth but also a Technique!
Listen! This first statement, I can tell you, it is just a shock! It is so inclusive and so conclusive! That is why I am telling you, it can be applied immediately as a technique, and it will be realized as a truth any moment by you, understand? All these great truths, sometimes they are…

Isha, Kena, Katha, Prashna, Mundaka, Mandukya, Aithareya, Taittiriya
Please understand, I am following the arrangement as per the Advaithic Tradition. Actually, Ishavasya Upanishad is part of the Yajur Veda, not Rig Veda. But, all Advaithic tradition masters commented on Ishavasya first. The arrangement is very unique: Isha, Kena, Katha, Prashna, Mundaka, Mandukya, Aithareya, Taittiriya. This was the set organized way followed by almost…

Neither you need to be saved, nor you need to be Saviour! Wake up!
Once, I was sitting and having a discussion with one of the Acharya Mahamandaleshwars’, He said beautifully….. I was asking him, ‘Why are we doing all the great rituals at the feet of the Dhwajasthambha – the Flag Pole – in the Akhada?’ He said, ‘Swamiji, that is the best way of presenting. The Flag…

Dharma declaring its authority by itself is Upanishads
The Upanishadic rishis are declaring, Upanishads are declaring….. I should not even use the word “Upanishadic rishis are declaring”. No! “Upanishads are declaring”! Dharma declares its authority by itself is Upanishads. Without the help of any author, or the authority of any author! Author not only brings authenticity, he brings authority also. Here, Dharma does…
