Commentaries on the Isha Upanishad Since January 2008
Detailed study of Isha Upanishad.
These weekly classes on Sunday have been led by Sraddhalu Ranade since January 2008 in M.P. Pandit House in Pondicherry when another major class on the reading of Savitri was over. The Upanishadic expression takes Symbolic Truth of Veda into a form that begins to touch the mind. The very name Upanishad means to sit near by, to sit in closeness. Literaturely, in its deeper sense it represents an inner communion with the Truth that seen, sensed, perceived, felt and remain in that closeness and communion.

These classes are helping to create a new atmosphere in Auroville, and are deeply inspiring to many people. We feel honoured that Savitri Bhavan has become the venue for these very special sessions.
