Wisdom of the Upanishads - Part 1: introduction

This is the first part of a series of videos I plan to make, which will hopefully illuminate the otherwise cryptic message of the Upanishads to those who don't have the time, or prerequisite knowledge, to study them.

You should at least pronounce the word "upanishad" correctly. I know it sounds nitpicky, but mispronouncing the name of your topic only undermines what you claim to understand.

Do I make it seem like I'm some sort of authority? I'm just a hobbyist, and I only read about this stuff, so yeah, pronunciation never comes up, since it's not tied to understanding.

so what are the Upanishids? I can't understand this guy. I need some serious documentary on this.

Thank you.

[simex909]

Sorry. I made these videos because there wasn't a "serious documentary" on youtube about the Upanishads.

Upanishads are the philosophical reconciliation of the earlier vedic texts. If you don't know what that means, you need to start at the beginning with something like an introduction to Hinduism.

If you want more specifics about the Upanishads, I strongly suggest that you read the Swami Nikhilananda translations. His introductions and explanations are excellent.

Nice video thanks

the music is a tad too loud. It almost drowns you out.

buddy upanishad is not a hobby

@LeoHareMusic - He has done great job and expanding knowledge of Upanishads to all. Do not criticize him, come up with a better video, if you really care to improve the message. Namaste

[TheManolakis]

@Loki7409 this 'guru' has his entire channel dedicated to the worship of girls feet. definitely a guru fit for the Kali yug

@Claudia2288 try Wikipedia.

@smurfieboo Ever listen to Eckhart Tolle? He makes frequent use of pauses. The point is that the silence is as significant as the speech. In fact, it is far more so, since the purpose of the speech is to indicate the presence of silent awareness. Those who resonate with that method of teaching appreciate the opportunity to practice patience and recollect themselves in the silence.
