Mundaka Upanishad – Vedanta Vijnana Course
- Description
- Curriculum
- Reviews

Brahmavidya is the main subject matter of the Upanishads. Through discussions, they establish the identity between jiva and Brahman. Mundaka Upanishad, conforming to the same approach, presents these concepts in a unique manner with beautiful analogies in three chapters each with two sections.
Through the study of this Upanishad, the seeker is enabled to falsify the world and realise the oneness with the supreme Reality, which is one’s own Self. The Upanishad also provides meditative techniques to realise the supreme Truth.
Mundaka Upanishad, through its resplendently woven mantras, guides the seekers towards the Supreme and it contains some of the most oft-quoted analogies indicative of the highest Truth.
