About this episode
In this discourse, Swami Sarvapriyananda covers only the part of the Upanishad called "Yajnavalkya and Maitreyi Samvada (Mantras: 2.4.1 to 2.4.14)"The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, one of the oldest and most foundational Principal Upanishads of Hinduism, is being taught in this lecture series by Swami Sarvapriyananda. Belonging to the ?ukla Yajurveda and forming the concluding portion of the ?atapatha Br?hma?a, its name means “the great forest.” The text comprises six chapters organized into the Madhu, Y?jñavalkya (Muni), and Khila k???as, and is tenth in the traditional canon of 108 Upanishads. Renowned for its profound nondual philosophy, it includes the celebrated dialogue between Y?jñavalkya and his wife Maitreyi, where all love is shown to be ultimately directed toward the Self (?tman), whose realization as identical with Brahman leads to immortality and infinite bliss.
