Description:

  • Mundaka Upanishad - Mundaka literally means "shaving of the head" - because its contents remove the superimposed veil of ignorance obscuring the Atman through direct and penetrating exposition of the higher knowledge like a razor removes the hair from the head. The Upanishad consists of sixty four mantras belonging to the Atharva-Veda. 
  • Upadesha Sara - One of the most popular texts of Vedanta. It propounds the four main prevalent paths to the Truth. They are Karma Yoga (Path of Action), Bhakti Yoga (Path of Devotion), Astanga Yoga (Path of Eight-fold Yoga) and Jnana Yoga (Path of Knowledge).
