Mundaka Upanishad
Swami Guruparananda
Upanishads predominantly occur in the last portion of the Vedas and are therefore, also referred to as, Vedanta. The central theme of all the Upanishads is the same, viz., the underlying oneness of Beings and the Lord. Further, the Upanishads also reveal to us - the qualifications that a student needs to have in order to receive this knowledge; the qualifications essential for a teacher imparting this knowledge; the nature of Liberation; how the world is apparent in nature; and so on. Each Upanishad explains these in its own unique way. Upanishads, thus, form the philosophical portion of the Vedas. They are, in general, in the form of a dialogue between a teacher and a student. One may begin the study of the Upanishads from the Mundaka Upanishad as it is in this Upanishad that the teachings are given in a systematic manner. Accompanying text for Mundaka Upanishad is available for download. The entire collection of Swamiji's talks is available at the Poornalayam website.

Introduction to Vedanta
The final portion of the Vedas is called Vedanta. Veda is a body of knowledge and is the primary means for knowing the true nature of oneself. Vedanta points out the human goal and shows the path that leads to the goal. The first portion of the Veda deals mainly with ethics and rituals, while Vedanta imparts knowledge about the true nature of God, World and Beings. Vedanta reveals to us the imperishable nature of God, perishable nature of the world, and the essential oneness of God and Beings. The 12 talks under this heading explain the main topics discussed in Vedanta and help the listener pursue a systematic study of Vedanta. The entire collection of Swamiji's talks is available at the Poornalayam website.

There are totally 700 verses classified into 18 chapters. Krishna gives the essence of the entire Veda in his teaching. He explains in detail various disciplines like Karma Yoga, Devotion, Values, Meditation, and so on. Lord Krishna also imparts knowledge about the true nature of God, World and Beings and clearly points out the underlying oneness of God and Beings. In these 322 classes, all the 700 verses of the Bhagavad Gita are explained word by word, in keeping with Shankaracharya's commentary. These classes will help the listener in gaining a thorough knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita. The summary of Bhagavad Gita - Chapter 13, given by Swami Paramarthananda, is available for download. This chapter is called Ksetraksetrajnavibhaga-yoga, since the main topic of this chapter is the discrimination between the entire objective universe (ksetram) and the conscious principle that illumines the objective universe (ksetrajna). Another highlight of this chapter is the enumeration of some important values that prepare the mind to gain self-knowledge.
