Synopsis

THE FOREMOST OF THE 108 UPANISHADS The Sankskrit words 'Sri Isopanisad' mean "the knowledge that brings one nearer to the Supreme Person." As such, Sri Isopanishad directly counters the teachings of modern science, which say that at the root of existence lies not a person but merely abstract laws governing the chance collision of subatomic particles in the vast void of time and space. Individually, we rebel at the proposal that we can be analysed into lifeless laws and particles. We feel that personality is the solid foundation and unifying principle of our existence. That intuition is correct, says the Vedic philosophy of ancient India, which loudly proclaims the primacy of personality in every sphere of life and knowledge. The essential Vedic teachings on the universal nature of personality are summarized in Sri Isopanishad, the foremost of the 108 Upanishads.Read more
