Isopanishad Online

A daily series of 30-minute Zoom presentations on the classic Bhakti text, Sri Isopanishad, with reading and discussion.
The Isopanishad is comprised of 18 verses, the most revered of the 108 Upanishads, which we might call the “headlines” of the Vedas, Upa-nisa—“coming closer”, isa—[to] the “Supreme”.
Isopanisad begins with a general description of the Supreme, then gets more and more intimate, ending with a heartfelt plea, “I love you, I wish to serve you, please do not forget me.” It is the condensed life of a devotee, from head to heart, from external to internal, identifying the three categories of transcendental knowledge: samvit, abhedeya, and prayojana. Knowledge of the nature of the Supreme and the individual soul, knowledge of the nature of the relationship between them, and knowledge of the goal of their relationship.
Isopanishad is available online at vedabase.io/en/library/iso/
