- Upanishads constitute the pinnacle of the vedic philosophy and the vedanta literature. Consequently, over the course of more than two millenniums, many philosophers have explored Upanishads and have provided their interpretations. Undoubtedly the most significant of them was the Adi Shankara (Adi Shankaracharya).
One of the defining philosophers of the ancient India, Adi Shankaracharya belonged to 8th Century CE. The most influential exponent of the Advaita Vedanta, his commentary on Upanishads is considered to be the most authentic one . His commentary on Upanishads led to the classification of the 10 major Upanishads, as well.
In this second installment of the series on Upanishads, Prof. V. Kutumba Shastri takes an overview of Adi Shankara's commentary on Upanishads. In doing so, he gives us an elaborate glimpse of the Advaita Vedanta.
Prof. V. Kutumba Shastri is a great scholar of Sanskrit. He has served as the Vice Chancellor of "Rashtriya Sanskrit Samsthan" in the past. He currently is the Infosys chair at Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute.

British Satanic God is RAM ♈ it's ROMAN GOD LUCIFER
More people need to see this. I am thankful to Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute for making this knowledge accessible for everyone.
Yes, I agree
Watch Swami Sarvapriyananda’s Advaitha Vedanta videos on TH-cam. They talk much deeper.
@@austin426512 thanks
I wish they offered lessons for children.
🙏 adi shankara is shiva's gift to mankind. I'm floored with nirvana shatakam alone, his storams or songs are so deep, guess its just a water bubble we have seen, underneath hes a ocean of knowledge.
Note - During the lecture while speaking on the subject of levels of consciousness the speaker has inadvertently mentioned the source to be the Mundaka Upanishad. Kindly note that the source is "Manduky Upanishad".
There are no levels of consciousness, there is only one consciousness, but the difference is our experience levels and during all those experiences, consciousness is same as Turiya
@@aikyabharatha288 I also follow swami sarvapriyananda . But nothing is waste, please encourage everyone.🙏
Such a clearcut explanation how can go waste? If one is in negative outlook none can help. Posives imbibe and from negative also if we treat in healthy point of view nothing will be waste. Even in our mundane life if black is not how can one see white? Can one's intellect work without discrimination?
@@austin426512 I agree with your comment. However, sopaadhika-chaitanya can afford to have levels also, as we experience them. Rather, four states of consciousness may be more appropriate. The nirupaadhika-chaitanya cannot be discussed either.
@@austin426512 ABSOLUTELY RIGHT,
Very interesting . These basic information is very important to know before we try to read a single chapter of Upanishads . Thank you.
Absolutely great talk by Prof.Shastriji. Infinite thank u BORI for making this series on Upanishads & Vedanta. Feel Blessed.
It clears the clouds of religion prevails today l Many many thanks for this initiative.
Very beautifully explained!! No words to appreciate the efforts taken by all.. Thank you very much😊
Congratulations for releasing these series which gives the treasure and wealth of knowledge.
Actually I was looking to get guidance for systematic study and learning of veda and upanishads .thanks for giving the direction to me and to many like me.
Thank you again.
A much needed session. This will definitely set the framework for people to understand further sessions.
This is series should be made mandatory for everyone.
Mandatory - Nah ..... there are some aspirants - who work in practice - of Yogic elements only - and may be far ahead - of all words and words - and have absorbed the very spirit of Yoga - and are certainly on - the journey 'Towards Infinity'. These -as other aspirants - we also respect, not so ? Fare thee well.
@@user-hy9nh4yk3p noted and accepted.
Thank you for another wonderful video, slightly heavy but that's Ved for us.
It'd be even better if this episode was in the form of a conversation (like the previous one), looking forward to the next one!
Exactly. Last episode was very interesting.
I just discovered your channel am so deeply honoured to hear these exlanations. Kindly explain all the upnishads. I a reminded of Schopenhauer who would have certainly applauded your efforts. I think schools should have a mini introductory course on the upanishads.
Children have no idea about these beautiful texts and they are such a treasure trove of knowledge, that this must be made mandatory not as religious texts but as tools of self discovery.
Listening to the discourses of Upanishads. So easy and so difficult to comprehend. So much of contradictions ! Sir, your discourse is very helpful to comprehend the Vaidic literature. Regards.
A great exposition of Advaita phylosophjy in shortest period. Such great scholars are really the jewels of our great Nation as also this we hoke world!
Hari Om
Amazing clarity in thought and articulation Sir, Thank you to you, TH-cam and BORI for introducing us to your vision..🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this series. There is much to learn and gain
Only Shri kutumbha sastrigaru could give such a simple explanation of the most precious and massive and difficult subject of upanishads. My reverential namaskarangal
Absolute satsang that is very much needed for ignorant people like me. Thankyou sir 🙏🙏🙏 looking forward for continuation of these classes that will take us to absolute peace. Om shantih shantih Shanti. 🙏🙏🙏
Subhodayam, it's extremely relevant to understand the basics before, being introduced to vedic knowledge.
Dhanyavad 🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely brilliant..thanks for making a beginner's guide for the common man to grasp the vedas
Much grateful to BORI and the speakers. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creating awareness on Veda and Upanishad. Extempore speech shows the knowledge Prof. Shashtriji has on the subject. Episode 1 too was very interesting! I'm eager to watch other episodes 🙏
Thanks Shastriji to help us to understand Sri Sankara's interpretation in perspective. So much is there for us to learn as lay people from scholars like you. Thanks for your SEVA
सादर प्रणाम,

Bhagavatpada's ability to satisfactorily explain the seemingly contradictory statement s seen in the various Upanishads well explained, by the Cahaya.BORI's efforts in unveiling the essence of the great vedic literature is quite appreciable.Thanks.

Very relevant lecture series from an authentic institute like BORI. 🙏🚩🚩🚩
Great commentary on overview of vedas. I always wanted to know how they are connected and progressive. It's hard to find elsewhere.
Superb.must have been very difficult to cull out just enough to give a glimpse of a vast and complex topic. The translations make the Sanskrit quotes accessible.just learnt of your channel and it’s good!
महोदय,हिंदी मे होने से भारतीयो को ज्ञानका लाभ मीलेगा।
Excellent presentation Sir. Clarity is coming as we listen..Regards
Beautifully explained,
Thank you for this. BORI is a national asset.
एक चांगला उपक्रम सुरू केला याबद्दल आपले सर्वांचे अभिनंदन व धन्यवाद. हार्दिक शुभेच्छा.
Thank you very much for enlightening us!
Work to be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Thank you very much!
నమస్కారం కుటుంబ శాస్త్రిగారూ. నాకు ఈవిషయంలో చాలా ఆసక్తి. మీరు తెలుగులో కూడా ఇలా వివరించిన విడియోలు ఉంటే చెప్పగలరు. నాకు ఇంగ్లీషు అర్థమవుతుంది కానీ ఇటువంటి విషయాలు తెలుగులో మరింత స్పష్టంగా తెలుస్తుంది. ధన్యవాదాలు.
With understanding of this lecture human being can move to next stage that is aranyaka and upnishad.and enjoy eternal bliss.inetead of getting stuck in karmkanda and reaching nowhere.
Was good explanation, I came here expecting a translation of various verses. Hope BORI will be able to make more detailed videos translating individual verses.
Brilliant insights
Great presentation.
Very very nicely explained.Thank you so much
Amazing Series. Please keep at it :)
We need more explanation in simple way.thank you for al your efforts
I consider Sri Adi Shankara’s period is during before BC. This is what Kanchi mutt has established.
But, I don't think that dating is accepted by Sringeri Mutt supposed to be established by Sri Adi Shankara, which dates his timeline to be around 8th century AD. Very difficult to establish the accurate dating of Sri Shankaracharya but we can be sure he came later on after Buddha's time.
Namaskaram 🙏. Thank you so much. Very helpful videos...
Very enlightening
Wonderful explanation
How do we start studying on Vedas and Upanishads.
What all books to read for amateurs.
Please guide.
Because many concepts are new but would like to study them.
Wonderful effort :)
बहुत धन्यवाद 🙏
Dhanyawad 🙏
Thank you💐
great content
Very difficult to comprehend. But nicely explained.
Sir its very clear thank you so much
That's why Madhvacharya proposed पंच महा भेद ... out of which one भेद is clear distinguishing jeevatma and paramatma. Thereby establishing द्वैत सिद्धांत.
That all said, Shankaracharyas contribution to world is adwaita and अद्वितीय.🙏
द्वैत = davaita, correct? Or should that be "DVAITA"?
Thankyou very much
Pranamam !
Does Apaurusheya applies to Adi Shankar's work too? No agency on his part?
Highly illuminating.Thanks to BORI for introducing this series of lectures.
Interesting and welcome talk. But I'd hope that, in modern times, organisers of such discourse, which highlight our ancient intuitions and wisdoms, make an attempt to juxtapose these with modern scientific knowledge. That may help draw closer the two dichotomous branches of seeking - Science and Religion. Such an attempt will be unique and has the potential to set the trend for a new kind of inquiry, which can illuminate the minds of many - who would otherwise may not be able to connect the past with the present.
For a beginner like me it was going overhead a bit. Perhaps if it was in the Q A format, like the first episode, would have been easier to understand. All the same great!!
