The Vedas are the oldest and most authoritative Hindu sacred texts originating in ancient India. They are written in Sanskrit and consist of four main texts - the Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda. The Rigveda contains hymns praising Vedic gods like Agni and Indra. The Samaveda contains melodies and chants primarily derived from the Rigveda. The Yajurveda describes religious rituals and ceremonies. The Atharvaveda consists of spells and charms and provides insights into Vedic society.
Purva Mimamsa is an orthodox Hindu school of philosophy concerned with interpreting Vedic scriptures. It aims to ascertain the nature of dharma or ethics according to the Vedas. It accepts three pramanas or means of valid knowledge: perception, inference, and testimony of the Vedas. It believes in an eternal, omnipresent self that is distinct from the body and mind. It propounds a pluralistic theory of many individual souls. Through properly observing mandatory and occasional Vedic rituals while avoiding optional rituals, one can become liberated from rebirth through the exhaustion of karma.
The document summarizes the key aspects of the four Vedas - Rig, Yajur, Sama, and Atharva. It discusses how they were compiled by Vyasa into four groups from over 1,131 branches that were preserved orally. Each Veda is then briefly described in terms of its content, associated deities, number of hymns, as well as important Upanishads and traditions associated with them.
Shankaracharya was a philosopher who lived in 788-820 CE in India. He was born in Kalady, Kerala to Brahmin parents. He mastered the Vedas by age 8 and received initiation in Brahma knowledge by age 12 under the guidance of his guru Govindapada. He established the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, which teaches that Brahman (the absolute) is the only reality and the individual soul is non-different from Brahman. He traveled across India to establish four monasteries which helped spread and preserve his teachings.
The document discusses the Vedic religion and its relationship to modern Hinduism. It makes several key points:
1) The Vedic people did not call themselves Hindus and worshipped different gods than those of modern Hinduism. Gods like Indra and Agni were prominent in the Vedas but not in today's Hinduism.
2) Major Hindu gods like Vishnu and Shiva were non-Aryan in origin and did not play major roles in the Vedas. Hindu sects, temples, idols, and many practices like caste system originated later rather than being Vedic.
3) While the Vedas influenced some aspects of Hinduism, modern Hinduism has diver
The Vedas are a collection of ancient religious texts composed in India between 1500-1000 BCE. They include hymns, prayers, myths and formulas considered sacred in Vedic religion. The core Vedic texts are the Samhitas, comprising the Rig, Sama, Yajur and Atharva Vedas. The Upanishads were composed later between 800-500 BCE and discuss philosophy, rejecting the material world in favor of the eternal Self or Brahman. Key concepts discussed in the Vedas and Upanishads include samsara, karma, dharma and moksha.
Mimamsa is an orthodox Hindu philosophy that focuses on interpreting the Vedas through a hermeneutic process called "mimamsa". It is divided into Purva Mimamsa, which focuses on the proper performance of Vedic rituals, and Uttara Mimamsa (Vedanta), which focuses on the knowledge of brahman. The goals of Mimamsa are to provide enlightenment on dharma through correct interpretation of the eternal and authoritative Vedas, as dharma can only be known through revelation and defines one's ritual duties and obligations.
The Carvaka philosophy was a materialist school of thought in ancient India. It held that perception is the only valid source of knowledge and denied the existence of anything beyond the material world such as God, soul, or life after death. The Carvakas viewed pleasure as the highest goal in life and were essentially hedonists. While criticized for their views, the Carvakas made contributions to Indian philosophy by challenging other schools of thought and questioning assumptions around sources of knowledge and metaphysical concepts.
The document discusses the Upanishads, which are part of the Vedic literature in Hinduism. It outlines three key components for spiritual knowledge: a guru, sacred texts, and experience. It then summarizes several important Upanishads, explaining their philosophical teachings and dialogues. The Upanishads seek to understand existence, life, death, the soul, universe, and God through mystical experiences and questions. They form the foundation of Hindu philosophy and theology.
The Yoga Sūtra of Patañjali is a collection of Sanskrit sutras (aphorisms) on the theory and practice of yoga - 195 sutras (according to Vyāsa and Krishnamacharya) and 196 sutras (according to other scholars including BKS Iyengar). The Yoga Sutra was compiled sometime between 500 BC and AD400 by the sage Patanjali in India who synthesized and organized knowledge about yoga from much older traditions.[1][2][3] The Yoga Sūtra of Patañjali was the most translated ancient Indian text in the medieval era, having been translated into about forty Indian languages and two non-Indian languages: Old Javanese and Arabic.[4] The text fell into relative obscurity for nearly 700 years from the 12th to 19th century, and made a comeback in late 19th century due to the efforts of Swami Vivekananda, the Theosophical Society and others. It gained prominence again as a comeback classic in the 20th century.[5]
The document provides background information on the Upanishads, including their origins, key concepts, authors, and the 10 principal Upanishads. It notes that the Upanishads express the striving of the human mind to understand reality and set forth fundamental conceptions. They contain lofty ideals and poetry that have moved great minds.
The Vedas are a collection of ancient religious texts composed in India between 1500-1000 BCE. They are considered sacred texts of Hinduism and include hymns, prayers, myths and formulas for rituals. The core Vedic texts are divided into four collections - the Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda. The Upanishads were composed later between 800-500 BCE and discuss philosophical and spiritual ideas such as karma, samsara, dharma and the concept of Brahman as the ultimate unchanging reality.
The document provides an overview of Buddha's life and teachings. It discusses how Buddha sought enlightenment from many teachers but found no satisfaction until looking within. It then summarizes the Four Noble Truths about suffering and the Eightfold Path to end suffering. The document also examines Buddhist philosophy, including dependent origination, karma, impermanence, and the lack of a soul. It outlines the major schools of Buddhist philosophy and how Buddhism spread and evolved, forming the Hinayana and Mahayana traditions with ideals like the Bodhisattva.
Introduction to upanishad (mundaka & mandukya upanishad )muskaan maurya
The Upanishads are philosophical texts considered to be an essential part of the Vedas. They discuss meditation and spiritual knowledge aimed at guiding students to the truth about ultimate reality. Two key Upanishads are discussed - the Mundaka Upanishad and the Mandukya Upanishad. The Mundaka Upanishad presents a dialogue where the teacher explains the concepts of lower knowledge focused on rituals and higher knowledge focused on realizing the imperishable truth of Brahman. The Mandukya Upanishad emphasizes the oneness of the individual self and Brahman, and the realization of non-duality as the goal to overcome suffering.
Ten Upanishads are considered as major texts in view of their indepth coverage of the specific aspects, the mentioning of these works by many spiritual masters.
This Darshana was written by Kanaada. Kanaada was the son of Aulukya Maharshi of Kashyapa Gotra. Hence Kanaada was called ‘Aulukya’, so also the Vaisheshika Darshana is also known as Aulukya Darshana. Kanaada :- As Kanaada satisfied Maheshwara by eating Kanas (Paramanus/Atoms), he was popularly known as Kanaada.
Jainism was founded by Mahavira in the 6th century BCE. According to Jain tradition, Mahavira was the last in a line of spiritual teachers called Tirthankaras. Mahavira practiced extreme asceticism and taught non-violence and non-attachment. He achieved liberation after 12 years. Jainism believes in reincarnation and karma and that individuals must renounce worldly attachments to achieve liberation from the cycle of rebirth. The religion is divided into the Svetambara and Digambara sects and emphasizes non-violence, fasting, and pilgrimage. Today there are approximately 4 million Jains worldwide.
The document discusses the key doctrines of Jainism. It states that according to Jain science, the universe is comprised of six universal substances - soul, matter, space, time, dynamic medium, and stationary medium. It describes the Jain view of reality as a combination of soul and matter. Karma is said to occur due to ignorance and is the cause of bondage for souls. The ultimate goal in Jainism is to free the soul from karma through rational perception, knowledge, and conduct. The five main vows of Jainism - nonviolence, truthfulness, non-stealing, sexual purity, and non-possession - are also summarized.
Nyaya Darshana was propounded by Akshapaada Gautama.
Gautama was popularly known as ‘Gotama’ and ‘Akshapaada’.
Akshapaada means the man who has eyes in the Paada (sole).
Vyasa was the disciple of Gautama, once Gautama got anger towards Vyasa and rejected to see Vyasa with his eyes. After so many requests Gautama reduced his anger and agreed to see Vyasa. Then he created eyes in his sole and with the help of those eyes he used to see Vyasa. Hence he was popular as Aksha Paada.
Padartha Vijnana means the science which deals with the substances in the universe, its relationship with the living being in terms of their properties, functions; methods of understanding them etc.
Generally the subject Padartha Vigyan is considered as tough in the field of Ayurveda. But, it is the most useful subject than any other in Ayurveda.
The topics dealt in it are the fundamental concepts of Ayurveda on which entire chikitsa stands.
Understanding the elements in the universe is mandatory before studying the body. In this book, the subject matter is discussed with the help of different darśana and other shastras which are correlated with Ayurveda System.
Hence this will be a good guide for the BAMS students; as it includes all the subject matters in according to the revised syllabus prescribed by NCISM, 2021.

The document summarizes research on brain activity during yoga nidra meditation as measured using PET scans. Key findings include:
1. Subjects were able to achieve a very deep, conscious and controlled meditative state during yoga nidra as shown by EEG measurements.
2. PET scans showed specific regions of the brain were activated sequentially according to the different stages of yoga nidra, demonstrating conscious control.
3. "Concrete" experiences like focusing on the body activated visual and tactile centers similarly, while "abstract" experiences like happiness activated language centers more.
4. The research provides the first evidence that one can experience deep conscious awareness and control brain activity simultaneously through meditation.

The philosophical foundations of Hinduism are based on the Vedas, direct personal experience through meditation, ethics for social order, and the belief that suffering stems from ignorance of the eternal self. Samkhya philosophy sees reality as having two aspects - Purusha, the pure self, and Praktiri, the material source. Advaita Vedanta claims there is only one reality of Atman/Brahman appearing separate due to Maya. Yoga uses spiritual disciplines like breathing, postures, and meditation to achieve self-knowledge or union with Brahman. The yoga described here differs from modern Western yoga by focusing more on spiritual goals rather than solely physical fitness.
This document provides guidance on developing assertive communication skills. It discusses how assertiveness allows one to set boundaries, speak up confidently, and establish credibility and a professional image. The document outlines key aspects of assertive communication, including distinguishing it from aggression. It provides tips on communicating assertively in different situations while maintaining influence rather than confrontation. Nonverbal communication and consistency are emphasized as important for credibility. Recommended resources on further developing assertiveness skills are also included.
Assertiveness is a healthy communication style that allows people to express their needs and wants while also listening to others. Passive communication does not allow people to have their needs met, while aggressive communication is one-sided and can damage relationships. Assertive communication involves standing up for oneself and others, using "I" statements honestly while also listening, and finding solutions. Being assertive takes practice but has benefits like gaining respect, resisting pressure, feeling good about oneself, and getting needs met without hurting others.
This document provides an introduction to assertiveness and how to be more assertive. It defines assertiveness as standing up for yourself without being aggressive. It discusses the differences between passive, aggressive, and assertive behavior. Assertiveness involves expressing your feelings, needs, rights, and opinions while respecting others. Two assertiveness techniques taught are the "broken record" method of repeating what you want, and scripting out conversations in advance. The document also outlines 10 "Rules of Assertion" that people have a right to follow, such as respecting themselves and making their own opinions known.

These are 2 different Baby Ganesha sitting on the Lap of Lord Shiva and Mother Parvathi vintage bazaar post cards of 19th Century in my collection.

The document provides an overview of the Upanishads and analyzes the Isha Upanishad mantras. Some key points:
- Upanishads represent a quest for truth and contain higher spiritual knowledge revealed to sages. The Isha Upanishad discusses attaining immortality by escaping rebirth.
- The mantras describe the nature of the eternal Self or Brahman as pervading all yet distinct from the mind and senses. Seeing one's own Self in all beings ends hatred.
- Interpretations of vidya and avidya, which are referenced in mantras about worship, differ. Vidya generally means spiritual knowledge while avidya means ignorance, but opinions vary on their precise definitions.
Diversity is visible only in space, and this space is in the Self, which in turn projects it at the moment when differentiation starts although it is not then clear. Rama! Look within.
|
• What you perceive as space within is the expanse wherein all creatures exist, and it forms their ‘Self’ or consciousness.
• What they look upon as space is your ‘Self’.
• Thus, the ‘Self’ in one is space in another, and vice versa.
• The same thing cannot differ in its nature.
• Therefore there is no difference between space and ‘Self’ - which is full and perfect Bliss-Consciousness.
The strongest fetter is the certainty that one is bound. It is as false as the fearful hallucinations of a frightened child. Even the best of men cannot find release by any amount of efforts unless his sense of bondage is destroyed.
The document summarizes key aspects of major Upanishads. It discusses three essential components for acquiring spiritual knowledge: a spiritual mentor, sacred texts, and personal experience. It then provides brief overviews of 10 principal Upanishads, highlighting their central teachings around concepts like Atman (soul), Brahman (ultimate reality), karma, rebirth and the path to enlightenment. The document concludes by emphasizing that Brahman is beyond senses, mind and speech, and is the true object of knowledge and worship, not temporary material things.
The document provides an overview of the Mandukya Upanishad. It discusses that the Upanishad contains 12 verses that describe the four states of consciousness - waking, dreaming, dreamless sleep, and a fourth transcendent state called Turiya. Each state is represented by a letter of the sacred syllable AUM. The waking state corresponds to A, the dreaming state to U, and dreamless sleep to M. Turiya, as the unmanifest absolute reality, corresponds to the whole of AUM. Realizing the oneness of individual consciousness and absolute consciousness in Turiya leads to liberation.
Basic Spiritual Primer 9 (Path of Knowledge)Pardeep Sehgal
Is it possible to know something which can lead to the knowledge of all things at the same time Generally, such a thing is not possible. If you know one thing, you will know only that thing. It appears to be a supernatural question raised by sage Saunaka. But it turned out to be a simple question for sage Angiras, leading to an answer which is the entire Upanishad.
My concrete form is the eternal couple - the Supreme Lord and Energy - always in undivided union and abiding as the eternal consciousness pervading the three phenomenal states of waking, dream and sleep, and reclining on the cot whose four legs are Brahma (the Creator), Vishnu (the Protector), Siva (the Destroyer) and Isvara (Disappearance) and whose surface is Sadasiva (Grace) which is contained in the mansion known as 'fulfilment of purpose' enclosed by the garden of 'Kadamba' trees in the jewel island situated in the wide ocean of nectar surrounding the cosmos and extending beyond.
|
Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, Isvara, Sadasiva, Ganesa, Skanda, the gods of the eight quarters, their energies, other gods, celestials, serpents and other superhuman beings are all manifestations of myself. However, people do not know ME because their intellect is shrouded in ignorance.
I grant boons to those who worship ME. There is no one besides ME worthy of worship or capable of fulfilling all desires.
The document discusses reincarnation from Buddhist and other spiritual perspectives. It provides an overview of Buddhist cosmology, which describes 31 planes of existence divided into the sense-sphere realm, fine-material realm, and immaterial realm. Each realm contains beings at different stages of spiritual development experiencing various levels of suffering. It also describes the cosmology presented by spiritual teacher Adi Da Samraj, involving progression through subtle planes after death. The document argues that reincarnation could be "re-engineered" to help beings avoid past mistakes and reconnect with spirituality through counseling children who remember past lives and guiding souls toward auspicious rebirths.
This document discusses what happens to the soul after death. It begins by discussing how people of all backgrounds, from scientists to great leaders, have wondered about what occurs after death. It then summarizes various religious and spiritual beliefs about the afterlife, including the Hindu concepts of reincarnation and realms for departed souls. The document emphasizes that understanding the afterlife can reduce the fear and sorrow of death, and encourage spiritual practices to overcome death and attain immortality.
The document discusses what happens to the soul after death, drawing from scriptural texts and meditation. It states that there is an eternal consciousness underlying all names and forms, which is God or Brahman. It encourages seeking God through selfless service, renunciation, prayer and meditation in order to attain liberation from rebirth. It also seeks to remove the veil of ignorance around death and reduce the fear and suffering it causes.
The document discusses what happens to the soul after death according to Hindu scriptures and the teachings of Sri Swami Sivananda. It states that there is an eternal, unchanging consciousness (Brahman or God) that underlies all names and forms. Upon death, one's consciousness leaves the physical body and journeys to different realms until ultimately realizing Brahman. The goal of spiritual practices like yoga and meditation is to face death without fear and attain liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
Basic Spiritual Primer 8 (Inward Contemplation of Reality)Pardeep Sehgal
We always think in terms of something. That something is what we call life, or at least an aspect of life. We never see at any time our own mind contemplating its own self. The inward contemplation of Universal Reality is the theme of this Primer.
Human body is the battlefield where this perpetual inner war is going on between the gods representing the spiritual or restraining forces and the demons representing the material bound natural inclinations. The seeker of Truth has to win this war if he has to regain his unity with the Universal Reality.
The Upanishads are sacred Hindu scriptures composed between 800-500 BCE that discuss the ultimate nature of reality. They teach that [1] Brahman is the single, eternal, unchanging reality beneath the illusion of multiplicity. Atman, the true self, is identical to Brahman. However, due to [2] avidya or ignorance, humans experience [3] samsara, the cycle of rebirth governed by [4] karma. The goal is to attain [5] moksha or liberation from samsara through enlightenment of the identity of Atman and Brahman.
The document discusses several ancient Eastern philosophies including Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and Confucianism. It provides overview information on key figures like Buddha, Lao Tzu, Confucius, and concepts like Brahman, Tao, karma, and the Four Noble Truths. The philosophies discussed emphasize unity, non-duality, harmony with nature, morality, social relationships and virtue.
True religion is universal love and remembrance of God. All religions ultimately aim to foster love - for God and His creation. However, people have forgotten this fundamental truth and instead focus on superficial differences, sowing division. True saints and sages embrace all of humanity with love, seeing past outward distinctions to the shared essence within. Love is the true religion taught by masters across traditions.
Hinduism originated in India and has no single founder or centralized authority. It developed over time as a family of related beliefs influenced by Aryan invaders who entered India around 2000 BCE. The Aryans worshipped male gods and their sacred texts were the Vedas, which were orally transmitted. Later philosophical works called the Upanishads explored concepts like Brahman, Atman, Maya, Karma, Samsara and Moksha and emphasized liberation from the cycle of rebirth. Hindu society was traditionally organized by a caste system which determined one's social status and duties according to their occupation.

Savitri Talks - The Book of Birth and Quest - Talk 16 (Part 2)savitricircle
The document discusses various levels or "ranges" of spiritual mind and consciousness, including the Overmind, Higher Mind, Illumined Mind, Intuition, and Truth-Force. It describes each level as having different characteristics such as a cosmic thought that encompasses vast knowledge, vasts of vision, or intuition's lightnings that reveal hidden truths. The highest level discussed is the Overmind, which is described as a superconscient cosmic mind in direct contact with the supreme consciousness. It links the lower levels of knowledge with the greater truth while also veiling it from view.
This hymn is addressed to Dakshinamurthy, a manifestation of Shiva as a teacher. It describes Dakshinamurthy as the supreme self and teacher who:
1) Perceives the universe as existing within himself through the illusion of self, and sees only himself upon awakening.
2) Manifests the differentiated universe through his will, like a magician or yogi.
3) Is the source of all reality and illumination, directly awakening devotees through the Vedic saying "That thou art".
4) Flows through the senses like a lamp illuminating a jar, making the whole universe shine through the consciousness "I know".
Every person want to fulfill something in his or her life. But success is coming to those people who are moving forward to implement some action instead of just thinking. Success is coming to those who think properly with proper and dedicated planning.
Every person has infinite potential within him/her. These 18 principles are useful as how a person use his infinite potential to succeed in life.
I prepared this power point presentation and i hope many people will benefited with this presentation to succeed in their Goals and Life. All the best to the readers those who study and implement these principles.

It also outlines the development of Hinduism, including the caste system, key beliefs like karma and reincarnation, major gods like Brahman, Vishnu, and Shiva, and how Hinduism is also known as Sanatana Dharma.
Hinduism originated in India in approximately 1500 BC. It has no single founder but is known as Sanatana Dharma. Hindus believe in reincarnation and karma. The three main Hindu gods are Brahma the creator, Vishnu the most powerful god, and Shiva the destroyer. Hindus can follow the path of devotion, knowledge, or works. Daily rituals include offerings, prayers, and meditation. Festivals celebrate the gods. The caste system and stages of life are important social structures. Some criticize depictions of Hinduism that are seen as demeaning.
The document discusses the importance of maintaining and promoting Vedic culture. It outlines that Vedic culture encompasses spirituality, philosophy, religion, rituals, arts, and culture. It provides profound insights into life's purpose. The document calls on Brahmans and the Hindu community to take leadership in educating about Vedic values and passing traditions to younger generations. Actions proposed include community building programs, exposure to Vedic philosophy, and participation in spiritual practices and ceremonies. The overall goal is to protect Vedic culture from attacks and for it to be accessible to all.
Hinduism is one of the oldest religions in the world originating between 4000-2000 BC in India. It has no single founder but is based on the Vedas, the oldest scriptures. Hindus believe in concepts like dharma, karma, samsara, moksha and worship gods like Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva. Major festivals celebrate various gods and harvest seasons. The religion also has diverse philosophies like Advaita, Vishishtadvaita and six schools of thought.
The role of Hindu Dharma & Our role in Hindu Dharma Dokka Srinivasu
Hinduism is also known as Sanatana Dharma or the eternal principles of righteousness. Dharma refers to the universal principles and laws that sustain natural order and bring peace, harmony, and progress. It includes morality, ethics, justice, and is based on experiments and experiences over thousands of years, making it a super-scientific knowledge system. Dharma sustains individuals and society through upholding virtues like fortitude, forgiveness, self-control, non-violence, purity, and wisdom.
Mohandas Gandhi, known as the Mahatma or "Great Soul", led successful non-violent protests in India that ultimately forced the British to leave and allow India to govern itself. Through non-cooperation strategies like boycotting British goods and producing their own cloth and salt, Gandhi and his followers disrupted the British economy and drew international attention to their cause. Despite facing repeated imprisonment, Gandhi continued his non-violent campaigns until India achieved independence in 1947 without the use of weapons or violence.

Hinduism originated in India around 1500 BCE and has over 800 million adherents, making it the third largest world religion. It is considered polytheistic as it involves worship of multiple deities including Brahman as the supreme being, as well as gods and goddesses. However, it also has elements of monotheism by recognizing Brahman as the single, divine entity of which all else is a part. The ultimate aims of Hinduism are to achieve moksha, or liberation from the cycle of rebirth, by following dharma and attaining union with Brahman.
The document provides an overview of key concepts in Hindu teachings, including the Vedas, Upanishads, concepts of reincarnation and karma, various spiritual paths like bhakti yoga and karma yoga, major figures like Krishna and teachings like the Bhagavad Gita, philosophical systems, and contemporary Hindu practices. It explores the origins and evolution of Hinduism over thousands of years through ancient scriptures, stories, and spiritual figures.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

2. Vedas
• “Veda” – Sankrit for “wisdom” or
“knowledge
• stem from oral tradition – rishis
• written down when ??? 2000 BCE?
3. Use of the term “Veda”
• “narrow sense” refers to the Samhitas and
specifically the books Rig, Sama, Yajur &
Atharva
• “wider sense” refers to all the different
genres: Samhitas, Brahmanas,
Aranyakas, & Upanishads
4. Genres within the Vedas
• Samhitas – hymns, mantras to the Vedic
deities
• Brahmanas – manuals for rituals and
conduct
• Aranyakas – explore philosophy behind
rituals
• Upanishads - philosophy
5. Vedic Deities
• On one level roughly comparable to
mythologies in Greece, Rome, etc.
• On a deeper level (as explained in
Aranyakas and elsewhere) are
representative of fundamental powers in
the universe and in the human being
• Examples: Varuna, Indra, Agni, Soma, etc.
6. Vedic Metaphysics
• Underlying monism (see Hymn of Origins)
• What of deities? Polytheism? Pantheism?
Henotheism? Panentheism?
• Rita – impersonal force or intelligence
governing nature
• Purusha – the cosmos or creation
personified
7. Hymn of Origins
2. In the beginning there was neither existence nor
non-existence;
Neither the world nor the sky beyond.
What stirred? Where? Who protected it?
Was there water, deep and unfathomable?
2. Then there was neither death nor immortality,
Nor any sign of night or day.
THAT ONE breathed, without breath, by its own
impulse;
Other than that, there was nothing at all.
8. 3. Then there was darkness, concealed in darkness,
All this was undifferentiated energy.
THAT ONE, which had been concealed by the void,
Through the power of heat-energy was manifested.
5. Who really knows? Who here can say?
When it was born and from whence it came – this creation?
The Gods are later than this world’s creation;
Therefore who knows from whence it came?
7. That out of which creation came,
Whether it held together or did not,
He who sees it in the highest heaven,
Only He knows – or perhaps even He does not know?
9. Upanishads
• “upanishad” – from Sanskrit “to sit near,”
as students sit at the feet of a teacher
• Move away from ritual and social duties to
“philosophy”
• Philosophy of the Upanishads known as
“Vedanta” (lit. “goal or end of the Vedas”)
• Not “philosophy” strictly but collections of
sayings, metaphors, stories, parables, etc.
10. Central Questions of the
Upanishads
• What is the true nature of reality?
• Who am I at the deepest level of
my existence?
11. Brahman
• From root meaning “to burst forth” or “to
grow”
• The Upanishads affirm that there is one
eternal and unchanging reality behind all
apparent things – Brahman
• “In the heart of all things, of whatever is in
the universe, dwells the Lord [brahman]”
12. Brahman (cont.)
• “Self-luminous is that Being, and formless.
He dwells within all and without all. He is
unborn pure, greater than the greatest,
without breath, without mind.”
• “ The Imperishable is the Real. As sparks
innumerable fly upward from a blazing fire,
so from the depths of the Imperishable
arise all things.”
13. Brahman (cont.)
• Because Brahman is ultimate, eternal,
without limitation, etc. it cannot be
adequately conceived of or described.
• “Invisible, incomprehensible, without
genealogy, colorless, without eye or ear,
without hands or feet, unending, pervading
all and omnipresent, that is the
unchanging One whom the wise regard as
the source of all beings.”
