Introduction To Amritabindu Upanishad

Among the 108 Upanishads, 20 are Yoga Upanishads and among these Yoga Upanishads, the Anritabindu Upanishad is one of the most important text.

AmritaBindu Upanishad starts with a description of the mind and its nature . Then it delves deep into the practices of Yoga like Meditarion or Dhyana and its final stage of Absorption or Samadhi . In Nirvikalpa Samadhi the Mind ceases to exist and the self is absorbed in Self.The Self or Atman is in reality one and same as Paramatman if the mind is dissolved .The Paramatman is Brahman or Absilute Reality that is the Truth,Infinite and Eternal.That realisation of the invidual self being absorbed and hence identified as one and the same as Brahman is Liberation or Moksha.

In this talk, Prof. C S R Prabhu will provide a detailed introduction to the Upanishad.
