Taittiriya Upanisad-Swami Muni Narayana Prasad-DKPD-9788124600238
The Upanishads
capture the quintessence of Indian spiritual wisdom — unfolding deep-set,
highly perceptive reflections on human existence and how it is related to
cosmic mystery. Authored by enlightened seers, at different times, during
1500-200 b.c., the Upanishadic message inheres neither a promise of heaven,
nor scare of hell. Rather, it is a magnificent vision that raises human
consciousness to sublime heights. The Taittiriya —appended to the Krishna
(Black) Yajur Veda —is one of best among
the principal Upanishads. And, schematically, is offered in three
chapters, entitled: (1) Shiksha Valli, (2) Brahmananda Valli, and (3) Bhrigu
Valli —which each Swami Muni Narayana Prasad treats singly, superbly revealing
the invisible thread that goes through all of them. With origjnal Sanskrit
text, its Roman transliteration and easy-to- understand English paraphrase,
this stimulating, at once analytical commentary grows from Swami Muni
Narayana Prasad’s prolonged reflections on the Taittiriya Upanishad, coupled
with the insights he acknowledges to have gained from Nataraja Guru’s
discourses on different Upanishadic themes, Narayana Guru’s
mystico-philosophical poems, and numerous sessions of intellectual interaction
with different groups of scholars. |
