THE VEDAS AND UPANISHADS WRITTEN IN 5000 BC- CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

VEDAS - UPANISHADS-  THE HINDU PSYCHE- SANATANA DHARMA-  PROUD TO BE A INDIAN HINDU- THE MOST ANCIENT CIVILIZATION ON THIS PLANET


This is one of the most valuable posts you will find on the internet.

You will find thousands of posts on the Internet on Vedas and Hinduism-- and thousands of printed books too. After reading them you will still be in fog.  This post contains the essence in a couple of pages-- and you will finally be transported from darkness to light.

WHAT FOLLOWS IS WHY STEVE JOBS CAME TO INDIA, AS A YOUNG MAN-- WHY THOUSANDS OF HIPPIES CAME TO INDIA IN THE SIXTIES , SOUGHT THE TRUTH -- AND WENT BACK TO FORM THE INTERNET -- TO CUT THE STRENGTH OF BIG BROTHER

This lucid explantion is for people of this planet who still wonder what the fuss of Vedas and Upanishads are all about.

The Vedas and the Upanishads are to India what the Crown and Scepter are to an anointed king. They are India's proudest and most ancient possessions. It hardly matters if you are a Christian or a Muslim or even a Pakistani-as long as you have Indian DNA.  For Vedas are NOT about religion.

In India the low castes have often expressed that Vedas have given them a raw deal. This is NOT true.  Vedic Sanatana Dharma system has the 4 classes, or graded inequality to sustain society. 

Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras.  This is like a ship’s crew list, where everybody has a job to do, to maintain team harmonics. There has to be Navigators and there has to be Engineers or the ship will have a breakdown. Or in a Cricket team everybody cannot be batsmen, somebody has to bowl.

From 9000 BC to 5000 BC Vedas were transmitted orally by learning vast amounts of verses by heart. There is no more time available after a period of rest to do daily chores. The Kshatriya warriors had to stay in camps , rigorously practice their backsides off , and fight, they too could not be expected to do usual chores. Which left out the Vaishyas and the Shudras , who distributed the remaining among themselves. Those days we just produced food, as there were no industries.  Vaishyas handled even medicine and surgery.

The original Vedas do NOT contain texts where it is said that Brahmins were created out of the head , Khsatriyas out of the arms , Vaishyas out of the thighs and Shudras were created out of the feet.

The word BrahmAn denoted the Supreme God, and NOT BrahmIn the high caste human being.

watch the video below , to understand brahmAn.

It is a  passage from "BrihadAranyaka" (major forest) Upanishad. An interlocution between sage Yajnyavalkya and Shakalya regarding number of Gods. When sage Yajnyavalkya was presented with thousand cows by King Janaka of Videha, other Brahmins became jealous, and one by one started questioning Yajnyavalkya. Then it was Vidagdha Sakalya's turn who queried Yajnyavalkya regarding number of Gods.

The caste systems were polarised by foreign invaders who wanted to divide and rule ( very easy when you have infighting in the family )  — and they were indeed very successful.

The ancient Maharishis were peaceful and graceful souls and incapable of being racists.

If all want to be architects a skyscraper cannot be built. We need masons, carpenters, people who are not afraid of heights etc—it is a team contribution.  From 9000 BC to 5000 BC, the  Vedas were learnt by heart and transmitted orally from teacher to pupil, belonging to the Brahmin class.

In Kerala the shrewd Namboodiri Brahmins hijacked the caste system, and forced the Vaishya and Shudra women to expose their breasts in public. They would NOT allow a Kshatriya  ( their pet Rottweilers warriors ) to come within 6 feet, Vaishya to come within 32 feet and a Shudra to come withing 72 feet of them.

All this is NOT written in the original Vedas.  

All this is as criminal as the MD of a company criminally changing the Company’s rule book , so that he can molest all the females and sodomise all the men , working in the office, officially .

The Vedas are considered the earliest literary record of this planet and were written on the banks of the river Saraswati.  The Saraswati civilization was the oldest in the world and flourished on the banks of the river Saraswati from 9000 BC to 4000 BC, till the river became non-perennial, due to a tectonic shift blocking the river’s mouth at the Himalayan Glacier.

The 4 Vedas along with the 108 Upanishads are the most sacred books of India.

Without knowing the Vedas one cannot comprehend the inner soul and heights of Indian glory. A brilliant man like Schopenhauer found the Upanishads to be the "solace" of his life and death, and Kant found the Hindus were "gentle", that "all nations are tolerated amongst them." . India has the unique record of never attacking any country in the past history. These ancient texts won the admiration of eminent human beings of the caliber of Carl Jung, Emerson, Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Victor Hugo, Romain Rolland, Hermann Hesse, Henrich Zimmer, Tolstoy, Sir Edwin Arnold, Yeats, Toynbee and hundreds of others.

The Vedas  hold the original scriptures of  Sanatana Dharma ( Hindu )  teachings, and contain spiritual knowledge encompassing every possible aspects of Indian life. Vedic literature with its philosophical maxims has stood the test of nearly 11000 years of time  and is the highest religious authority for the Hindu in particular and probably for the whole of mankind in future. The world is waking up to a few books written 7000 years ago.

On Dec 21^st 2012, man must upgrade his DNA to achieve 12 strand nil junk from 2 strand, 96% junk . There is only one source of wisdom to achieve this , the timeless Vedas and the Upanishads. These are not shepherds’ verses as ridiculed by jealous Vatican-  but an amazing encyclopedia of the most mind boggling philosophy of thought. It must be remembered that 7000 years ago, the whole world outside India were eating raw meat, living in caves and going grunt grunt for language.

“Veda” means wisdom, and it manifests the language of the gods in Sanskrit. The laws of the Vedas in amazing Sanskrit verses , regulate the bedrock of culture and customs of the Hindus to this present day. Hindu religion is run by the laws of Dharma. All the obligatory duties of the Hindu owe their allegiance to the Vedas.  They draw forth the thought of successive generations of Maharshi seers  or spiritual giants from 9500 BC to 5000 BC. 

The Vedas are four: The Rig-Veda, the Sama Veda, the Yajur Veda and the Atharva Veda, the Rig Veda written in 5000 BC being the main.

Each Veda consists of four parts – the Samhitas (hymns), the Brahmanas (rituals), the Aranyakas (theologies) and the Upanishads (philosophies). The Upanishads form the concluding portions of the Veda and therefore called the “Vedanta” or the end of the Veda and contains the essence of Vedic teachings.

The Vedas in its unchanged unabridged format in Sanskrit verses , have guided the Indian’s  religious direction for ages and will continue to do so till our sun goes supernova. The Rig-Veda is a ‘samhita’ or collection of mantras consists of 1,017 hymns ( ‘suktas’ ), covering about 10,600 stanzas, divided into eight ‘astakas’ each having eight ‘adhayayas’ ( chapters ), which are again sub-divided into various groups.

The seven primary Maharshi seers ( Sapta Rishis )  involved with the oral composition of the Vedas by divine channeling are rishis : Atri, Kanwa,Vashistha, Vishwamitra, Jamadagni, Gotama and Bharadwaja. This was an era of unbridled non-individuality. Knowledge was not patented , like what it is done now by narrow minds. It is such a disgrace that people like Isaac Newton ( Calculus ) , Nobel prize winner Herman Hesse ( philosophy ) and dozens of others became heroes of the current era by patenting stolen Vedic knowledge.

The whole of the West tried even to prove that Aryan invasion happened inwards, so that they could claim credit for writing the Vedas. In this DNA age, all these fraudulent claims have been consigned to the dustbin of history.

These Vedic texts include hymns, liturgical instructions, and philosophical courses . The ancient Maharishi 11000 years ago , were Epistemologists whose theories deal with puzzles about the source, nature, foundation, scope, validity and limits of human knowledge.

Vedas show how ancient rishis experienced the divine reality and how they responded with exuberant joy, confidence and a feeling of intimacy. This literature is not rustic or primitive but highly developed in its literary form, in its intellectual insight, and in its questioning attitude. The glory of this vast literature is its imaginative and emotional qualities.

The Maharishis were experts in Metaphysics to determine the real nature of things—to determine the meaning, structure, and principles of whatever is in so far as it is-- with reality as a whole. It is a call to recognize the existence and overwhelming importance of a set of higher realities that ordinary men could not deduce--the science of ultimate reality , as opposed to appearance or the contrast between appearance and reality . A cloud appears to consist of some white, fleecy substance, although in reality it is a concentration of drops of water.

It is the study and science of first principles or ultimate irrefutable truths. The two descriptions of the subject would thus be two sides of a single coin. Scientific theories can be brought to the test of experience, whereas metaphysical theories cannot.  The Vedic metaphysician was a sort of super scientist, unlimited in his curiosity and gifted with a capacity for putting together other people's findings with a skill and imagination that none of them individually commands. He can refute by debate, through a method for systematic evaluation of definitions

The Indian rishis were the first to engage their great minds in dialectics in philosophy—the  method of investigating the nature of truth by the criticism of initial concepts and hypotheses—all in the most peaceful natural surroundings  .The ancient Indian Vedic dialectic is based on a dialogue between two or more rishis , master or student - people who may hold differing views, yet wish to pursue truth by seeking agreement with one another. 

This is in contrast to debate, in which two or more people hold differing views and wish to persuade or prove one another wrong (and thus a jury or judge is needed to decide the matter), or rhetoric, which is a relatively long monologue oration conducted by a single stupid person.

The Vedas are not puerile babblings of rustic troubadours or minstrels , but sedate out-pourings of exceptionally sharp and graceful minds in quest of truth .  Like indestructible diamonds of brilliant fire they have come down 11000 years in spotless perfection, with no need to be revised or abridged, to suit the modern era.  

From the Vedas evolved the Upanishads, whose copious enquiries into the nature of man, the Universe, and God, strike the intelligent and high IQ modern scientific mind with speechless wonder.  Vedas are verses written in the most digitally perfect language in the world, Sanskrit, with a scientific alphabet and perfected vocabulary, and a grammar which is itself a great work of art.

The Vedic seers , propounded six systems of philosophy explaining man, universe, and God, before which Aristotle's and Plato's theories look like juvenile endeavors. They discovered the Earth's rotatory and revolutionary motions, and studied the courses of constellations and stars, and founded the twin sciences of astronomy and astrology.

They probed the human anatomy , and perfected a system of medicine for the holistic welfare of the body, evolved the science of Yoga for the health of the mind, and the Tantra Shastra to develop the psychic and esoteric forces latent in man's being. They brought out Dharma Sastras to guide man's conduct in society, Grihya Sutras to guide the conduct of house-holders, and a unique science, Meemamsa, prescribing bloodless sacrificial lore for the attainment of individual and national prosperity.

They codified the laws of sanitation, town-planning, architecture, sculpture and enunciated the principles of classical music, dancing, and the art of love. They laid down principles of state-craft, and of the art of war, with human and animal strategy, with physical weapons, or shastras, and enchanted weapons or astras.

For example here is the Vedic set of rules for war termed Dharma Yuddha -

      Fighting must begin no earlier than sunrise and end exactly at sunset.

      Multiple warriors may not attack a single warrior.

      Two warriors may “duel”, or engage in prolonged personal combat, only if they carry the same weapons and they are on the same mount (no mount, a horse, an elephant, or a chariot).

      No warrior may kill or injure a warrior who has surrendered.

      One who surrenders becomes a prisoner of war and will then be subject to the protections of a prisoner of war.

       No warrior may kill or injure an unarmed warrior.

       No warrior may kill or injure an unconscious warrior.

       No warrior may kill or injure a person or animal not taking part in the war.

       No warrior may kill or injure a warrior whose back is turned away.

      No warrior may attack a woman.

      No warrior may strike an animal not considered a direct threat.

     The rules specific to each weapon must be followed. For example, it is prohibited to strike below the waist in mace warfare.

     Warriors may not engage in any “unfair” warfare.

The Sanskrit language came from the 12 strand DNA of Vedic seers , with king size pineal glands who inhabited the banks of the river . Sanskrit has a construct like geometry in cymatics and can be digitalised. It is possible to make conscious computers if this language is adapted to computers who use water instead of Silicon with organic wiring . It can be adapted to Backus-Naur Form grammar that is used to describe modern programming languages today.

The Vedic Maharishis had beautiful geometrical fractal minds, and could see even numerical problems as fractals. The principles of sound harmonics of Vedic verses works precisely and consistently . The way words unfold from their seed forms is amazing. The mathematical precision throughout the language gives Sanskrit verses its extraordinary power . There is a direct link between the sound and signs, it is phonetic.

The writing of Sanskrit language is based on the sound of the spoken form. Sanskrit has no spelling, nor there are any silent letters . There is logic in its sound system, and a natural continuity in its word-making as well as sentence-making.  Sanskrit sentence structure is flexible, it gives no importance to syntax. The order of words in a sentence does not matter.

There is a vibration or resonance in the sounds of Sanskrit . The Vedic chants represent the most amazing celebration of life that has ever been created. The joy and wonder in life which was felt by those early and vigorous peoples who sang the Vedas.

A language for Vedic mantras ( scalar energy sounds ) which resonate your DNA with your Pineal gland and which trigger quantum tunneling in Aakasha  ( ZPF ) must be/have—Accurate expression, clear speech and perfect pronunciation,  have a meaning built into every word , have immense vocabulary, have precise golden ratio sound harmonics ( Fibonacci/ Sri Yantra ), must have fractal geometrical precision, must be phonetic—direct link between sound and signs, the longitudinal sounds must resonate the pineal gland, alphabets must form in cymatics or tonoscope when uttered, must not have proper nouns, and must have positive effect on the Chakras and Aura.

Who truly knows, who can honestly say where.

This universe came from

And where it will vanish to at the End?

Those godlike wise men who claim they know were born long

After the birth of Creation.

Who then could know where our universe really came from?

And whoever knows or does not know where Creation came from,

Only one gazing at its vastness from the very roof of the final Heaven

"Only such a one could possibly know,

But does even He know? "

- Rig Veda - 129.6. 7

The Sanskrit word for philosophy is darshan or 'seeing', which implies that Sanatana Dharma is  is grounded firmly on human consciousness and perception. Vedas introduced Consciousness , the most valuable thing on this planet , to Western philosophical thought. The Vedas are considered to be eternal, without beginning and end as they represent the divine truth itself as perceived through the elevated consciousness of great seers.

Vedas teach us that creation is without beginning or end. Science has proved to us that the sum total of cosmic energy is always the same.  The ancient Vedic rishis in all their wisdom said as early as 9000 BC , that our universe is not woven from  matter but consciousness. These seers and channels said,  that the universal laws are clear, your attitude about your life will shape it , that Matter, energy and consciousness are interchangeable.  

Consciousness is the intelligence, the organising principle behind the arising of form, unlike what Darwin says . The quantum field or pure consciousness is influenced by intention and desire.  Consciousness is the  intelligent force that started the blueprint which ultimately manifested itself as a particular form. There is a consciousness in every molecule of matter.  All atoms in the entire universe are capable of mind reading and communicating with other atoms. The expanded abilities of self awareness is abstract reasoning, free will, creativity, foresight etc.  

Our modern culture is oriented towards reducing one’s self awareness rather than expanding it. After the ancient Vedic rishis, it is the flower children ( hippies ) of the sixties , who took on big brother and tried to expand it.  On the subatomic level—mind is over matter. The brain and DNA is governed by the laws of quantum physics rather than the laws of biology or neurophysiology.  Scalar waves ( made famous by Nikola Tesla ) is the point of fundamental intersection where matter and consciousness  influence each other

Vedic scriptures may be classified into two divisions: Sruti scriptures and Smriti scriptures. Sruti in Sanskrit means "that which is heard." . Sruti include the Vedas (Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva) and the Bhagavad Gita

Thus the Vedas are the eternal truths that the Vedic seers, called rishis, are said to have heard during their deep meditations. The Vedas are not considered the works of the human mind, but an expression of what has been realized through intuitive perception by Vedic rishis, who had powers to see beyond the physical phenomena.  At a later date, after 4000 years of oral transmission from master to pupil, in 5000 BC , these were compiled by Sage Vyasa for the benefit of future generations.

To the Hindu, Shruti is what cannot be thought up by the limited human intellect, but is of divine origin.  It is what is forever valid, never changes, is not dependent on the limited capacity for understanding of any one historical person or human founder . The Hindu for this reason is proud not to need a historical founder. The founder and foundation of the Vedas and the Upanishads is the Supreme  force itself, is what is indestructible and timeless.

The Vedic revelations are so cosmic that they approach more closely the findings of modern quantum physics and astronomy than the pious pronouncements of rabid preachers. The rishis made claims so cosmic that even modern physics seems only to be catching up with them and realizing, after every scientific breakthrough, that the ancients were there long before them.

Smriti means "that which is remembered." Smriti scriptures are derived from the Vedas and are considered to be of human origin and not of divine origin. They were written to explain and elaborate the Vedas, making them understandable and more meaningful to the general population. All authoritative writings outside the Vedas are collectively referred to as Smriti. Smriti include the Dharma Shastras, Nibhandas, Puranas, The Epics, Agamas or Tantras, Darshanas and Vedangas (Upa Vedas).

The Vedas  are the world's oldest intellectual legacies. They are the only composition in the universe invested with Divine origin, and hence divine sanctity. They have been heirlooms of the Hindus from generation to generation for the past 11000 years. The Vedas are the discoveries of the laws of nature, the world and the beings living in it and the Ultimate Truth. They are called apauruseya grantha (authorless works) .

Vedas record the spiritual experiences of souls strongly endowed with the sense for reality. They are held to be authoritative on the ground that they express the experiences of the experts in the field of religion. The Vedas bring together different ways in which the religious-minded of that era experienced reality and describe the general principles of religious knowledge and growth. The experiences themselves are of a varied character, so their records are many-sided (visvatomukham) or 'suggestive of many interpretations' (anekarthatam).

The Vedas are the quintessence of classical Hindu philosophy. Thinking with your heart; loving with your mind. All yoga and meditation aim to attain this goal. Anything else is Maya delusion, or worse.  And when the heart sees, it sees the unknowable, nameless, formless, limitless, supreme God. He is called the nonexistent because he is eternal, beyond existence. God manifest is the fabric of creation itself. They are one.  They explain the nature of the universe, of life, while admitting that Creation itself is the one unknowable mystery.

To the Vedic sages, creation indicated that point before which there was no Creator, the line between indefinable nothingness and something delineated by attributes and function, at least. Like the moment before the Big Bang Theory. These concepts preoccupy high wisdom, the Truth far removed from mere religion.

The Vedas are the inspired utterances of a whole galaxy of realized souls, of spiritual geniuses, of people not merely well versed intellectually but with spiritual enlightenment.

Guigualt : "The Rig Veda is the most sublime conception of the great highways of humanity."

Max Muller : "In the history of the world, the Veda fills a gap which no literary work in any other language can fill."

Henry David Thoreau : What extracts from the Vedas I have read fall on me like the light of a higher and purer luminary, which describes a loftier course through purer stratum. It rises on me like the full moon after the stars have come out, wading through some far stratum in the sky."

Alfred North Whitehead :  "Vedanta is the most impressive metaphysics the human mind has conceived."

J. Robert Oppenheimer :  Access to the Vedas is the greatest privilege this century may claim over all previous centuries.

Arthur Schopenhauer : "From every sentence the Vedas deep, original and sublime thoughts arise, and the whole is pervaded by a high and holy and earnest spirit...."In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads. They are destined sooner or later to become the faith of the people. It has been the solace of my life -- it will be the solace of my death."

Ralph Waldo Emerson: "The Vedas haunt me. In them I have found eternal compensation, unfathomable power, unbroken peace."

Ralph Waldo Emerson : "I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavad-Gita. It was as if an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence which in another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the same questions which exercise us."

The collection of hymns and the immense mass of literature were preserved by means of oral tradition only. Vedic hymns are used today at Hindu wedding ceremonies, and temple and school prayers  in an astonishing example of continuous tradition. The feat of memorizing and handing down a vast amount of oral literature is a hallmark of Hinduism.

The Rig Veda manuscripts have been selected for inscription in UNESCO's "Memory of the World" Register 2007

Upanishads

While the Vedas look outward in reverence and awe of the phenomenal world, the Upanishads look inward,  finding the powers of nature only an expression of the more awe-inspiring powers of human consciousness. Vedas and Upanishads thus work in a Tamas Rajas ( Yin Yang ) way.

Its most famous formulation is one of the mahavakyas or “great formulae”:

Tat tvam asi, “You are That”.

The Chandogya Upanishad-- What does it mean? It means that you are none other than God. Who else is God, if not you?

Vedanta taught the technique of self-development. The ultimate destiny of man is to discover within himself the true Self as the changeless behind the changing, the eternal behind the ephemeral, and the infinite behind the finite. Greater wisdom was never compressed into three little words than by the Chandogya Upanishad which proclaimed the true Self of man as part of the Infinite Spirit - tat twam asi: "That Thou Art".

The above TAT TWAM ASI music is set to heavy psychedelic punk --

Now I would like you to reflect on how many millions of people were killed by Christianity and Islam -- reflect on the senseless Inquisitions and Crusades ordered by a middle man sitting in Vatican --with burnings on stake --

now put on the punk music video above --and read what  follows-- to get the feel.

Upanishads are the divine revelations received by ancient seers. The sages who gave them to us did not care to leave their names; the truths they set down were eternal, and the identity of those who arranged the words irrelevant.

They represent the essence of the Vedas, the greatest truths ever known to mankind. The Upanishads are humanity's most profound philosophical inquiry and the first perceptions of the unity of all, the oneness of man and God. The Upanishads are also called the Vedanta.

The literal meaning of Vedanta is 'the end of the Vedas.'  They were written down around 5000 BC, but conveyed by word of mouth from 9000 BC to 4000 BC. The basic teaching of the Upanishads is that the essence of all beings - from a leaf to the perfect human being - and all things is the Divine Spirit, called Brahman.

The Vatican has long tried to ridicule Hinduism by giving propaganda that a Shiva lingam is a penis set inside a vagina. A shiva lingam is a meteoric black stone and it represents Shiva’s Pineal Gland.  Our amazing Tantras were reduced to sex orgies.

You cannot be a Hindu heretic , or get people burnt on the stake , because there is no standard set of dogmas in Hindu faith , written or unwritten, from which deviation could make you a heretic. Openness is the essence of Hinduism. Gratitude is inherent, which makes this religion noble . Example: A Hindu will never ever neglect his aged and vulnerable parents.

Divorce rate within Hindus is the lowest in the world--it is a mindset . Marriage is NOT based on lust, but by sacred commitment of 7 pheras  around a holy fire. A true Hindu will not exploit vulnerability. Hinduism does not allow you to breach a trust. When a Hindu says "thank you", he really means it. When a Hindu greets you with a Namaste, he bows to the greatness in you. There is great tolerance to other cultures and spiritual paths.

The heart of Hinduism is oneness and inclusivity.. The Vedic rishis had stressed, there are many paths to the final goal. This is why Hinduism has a multiplicity of Gods and Goddesses. This is why Hinduism abjures all divides and separates. It happily embraces all different paths. Hinduism is a spiritual code.  Know thyself is the quintessence.  It has no founder or a Supreme head.  

There is NO supreme middleman like the Pope who can canonise a human into a saint, by giving bullshit, to the unsuspecting masses.  It is a movement based on principles or evolved over time code of  Dharma.  It is a relentless pursuit of truth, flexible to suit all situations. Hinduism does NOT care for individual leadership or hierarchy.

Free from theology and dogma, the Upanishads remain the primary source of inspiration and guidance for millions of Hindus and non-Hindus alike. They have influenced many Western thinkers, including von Gothe, Arthur Schopenhauer, Ralph Waldo Emerson.

The Upanishads are the concluding portions of the Vedas and the teachings based on them is called Vedanta. The Upanishads focus on philosophical questions such as the purpose of life, origin of the universe, concepts of time, space and matter, as well as concepts of atman, Brahman, maya, immortality, rebirth, karma, and the world.

According to our Indian tradition, there were once 1,180 Upanishads. Of the 108 Upanishads that have been preserved, the following thirteen are generally considered to be the principal Upanishads: The Isa, Katha, Kena, Prasna, Mundaka, Mandhukya, Chandogya, Brhadaranyaka, Taittiriya, Aitareya, Svetasvatara, Kaivalya and Maitri.

The Upanishads are known as the Vedanta, both because chronologically they come at the end of the Vedas and also because philosophically they represent the noblest upshot, the highest watermark of the Vedic civilization and genius. One meaning of the word Upanishad is to sit nearby. In the Indian tradition, the guru would be seated under a tree, near a river or lake, and one or more disciples would cluster around him to learnt he wisdom. They are the dialogues between guru and sisya—the teacher and student.

The Upanishads are the remarkable compositions, which contain sublime and philosophical speculations concerning the Universal Soul, and cosmic consciousness. The Upanishads declare that Karmas give us only perishable fruits and that jnana (knowledge) alone can lead to immortality.

The Upanishads tell us that there is a Reality underlying life which rituals cannot reach, next to which the things we see and touch in everyday life are shadows. They teach that this Reality is the essence of every created thing, and the same Reality is our real Self so that each of us is one with the power that created and sustains the universe. The Upanishads are not philosophy but are darshanas, “something seen” and therefore to be realized.

"As flowing rivers disappear into the sea, losing their name and form, thus a wise man, freed from name and form, goes to the divine person who is beyond all." - Mundaka Upanishad iii 2.

The Upanishads are crammed with thoughts that wander through eternity. Their message is that there is far more to life than success, and far more to success than money; and there can be no higher destiny for man than to be engaged in endless seeking after endless truth. They give  answers to the three  questions :

"Where is the life we have lost in living"
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?

The Rishis had repeatedly emphasized that the ultimate reality lies beyond the realms of the senses and the grey matter beneath our skulls. Hark again to the Upanishads:

"There the eye goes not

Speech goes not, nor the mind.

We know not, we understand not,

How would one teach it?"

One of the lessons of the Upanishads is that you must regard  "the universe as a thought in the mind of the Creator, thereby reducing all discussions of material creation to futility." The Upanishads teach that both space and time are endless or infinite. Modern science completely agrees.

The ancient Maharshis understood the staggering scale of the divine play. Many centuries later the scientific mind still boggles at the scale of creation which makes infinity intelligible. The Rishis clearly perceived that the most fundamental characteristic of this incomprehensible creation was that it was in a perpetual state of movement, flow and change. Lila is a rhythmic play which goes on in endless cycles, the One becoming the many and the many returning to the One.

Modern physics has come to the conclusion that mass is nothing but a form of energy. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the basis of the theory of relativity, and the space-time character of the universe, were perceived by the old Indian Rishis in their advanced stage of spiritual consciousness. In their state of higher consciousness they realized that the ultimate constituents of the universe - energy and mass, particle and wave, - were but different aspects of the same basic process, but the same Oneness which pervaded the entire universe.

Today science has relearned that lesson.  Science, in its most advanced stage, is closer to Vedanta than ever before. The intuition of Indian mystics led them to understand the multidimensional reality and of space-time continuum which is the basis of the modern theory of relativity.

It is in the Upanishads we find all the fundamentals that are central to Hinduism — the concepts of 'karma' (action), 'samsara' (reincarnation), 'moksha' (nirvana), the 'atman' (soul), and the 'Brahman' (Absolute Almighty). They also set forth the prime Vedic doctrines of self-realization, yoga and meditation.

The Upanishads are summits of thought on mankind and the universe, designed to push human ideas to their very limit and beyond. They give us both spiritual vision and philosophical argument, and it is by a strictly personal effort that one can reach the truth.

One of the oldest and longest of the Upanishads, the Brihadaranyaka ( 1.3.28 ) says: This was my school morning assembly prayer.

ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय ।
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय ।
मृत्योर्मा अमृतं गमय ।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥

Om Asato Maa Sad-Gamaya |
Tamaso Maa Jyotir-Gamaya |
Mrtyor-Maa Amrtam Gamaya |
Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih ||

"From the unreal lead me to the real!
From darkness lead me to light!
From death lead me to immortality!"

The human being is the central mystery of the universe holding the key to all other mysteries. It was such a science that India sought and found in the Upanishads in an attempt to unravel the mystery of human beings and of consciousness.

The purpose of the Vedas was to ensure the true welfare of all beings, worldly as well as spiritually. Before such a synthesis could be achieved, there was a need to penetrate the inner worlds to its depth. This is what the Upanishads did with precision and gave us the science of the self, which helps man leave behind the body, the senses, the ego and all other non-self elements, which are perishable. The Upanishads tell us the great saga of this discovery — of the divine in the heart of man.

These Indian thinkers were not satisfied with their intellectual speculations. They discovered that the universe remained a mystery and the mystery only deepened with the advance of such knowledge, and one of the important components of that deepening mystery is the mystery of man and consciousness. The Upanishads became aware of this truth, which modern science now emphasizes.

In the Upanishads we get a glimpse into the workings of the minds of the great Indian thinkers who were unhampered by the tyranny of religious dogma, political authority, pressure of public opinion, seeking truth with single-minded devotion,  rare in the history of thought.

Max Muller : "None of our philosophers, including Heraclitus, Plato, Kant, or Hegel has ventured to erect such a spire, never to be frightened by storm or lightnings."

The physical and mental climate that made it possible is the land of plenty that was India. They had found leisure and peace to think and ask questions. They had the choice to utilize the leisure either to conquer the outer world or the inner. With their mental gifts, they had turned their mental energies to the conquest of the inner world rather than of the world of matter and life at the sensate level.
