		The Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upanishad is one of the older, "primary" (mukhya) Upanishads commented upon by Shankara.
		It is contained within the Shatapatha Brahmana, and its status as an independent Upanishad may be considered a secondary extraction of a portion of the Brahmana text.
		This makes it one of the oldest (if not the oldest) texts of the Upanishad corpus, possibly dating to as early as the 9th century BC.

	An introduction to the Upanishads
		The Upanishads constitute what we call the Vedanta (Veda-anta), the end of the Vedas, not merely because they constitute the last part of them, but above all because they are their ultimate teachings, reaching to the highest metaphysical state, beyond which is the realm of Silence.
		The Upanishads are the first scriptures where the law of Karma first appeared as taught by Yajnavalkya (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad).
		Upanishads are the work of different authors and, apart the ‘great Upanishads’ belonging to the sruti and which are in prose, we cannot say that they constitute a strictly speaking system of philosophy, some of them being connected to certain particular sects, such as the cult of Shiva, Vishnu, Durga, Ganesha, Surya, etc.

		The Upanishads are wisdom teachings that explore the deeper, internal meaning of sacrifice.
		The Upanishads were dialogues between gurus and their students, and they emphasize the esoteric dimension of sacrifice.
		“Upanishad” can mean either “to set down side by side” (e.g., the correspondences between microcosm and macrocosm), or “to sit down side by side” (i.e., near a teacher).

	Spirituality, Hinduism, The Upanishads (Vedanta)
		The Upanishads were so called because they were taught to those who sat down beside their teachers.
		The major Upanishads were largely composed between 800-200 BCE and are partly prose, partly verse.
		Central to the Upanishads is the concept of brahman; the sacred power which informs reality.

		Upanishads are a part of the trilogy of scriptures which Vedanta (a school of Hinduism) is based on.
		This Upanishad also claims that what our eyes cannot see, our ears cannot hear, our nose cannot smell, or our mouth cannot taste, etc., namely what exists behind our five senses and uses them is our real self, and that this self is both transcendental and immanent, and is never born or dies.
		Mandukya Upanishad deals with three philosophical problems; the nature of consciousness, the nature of subjective and objective experience, and the nature of causality, mainly from the point of view of the Vedantic concept of the "three bodies".

		Upanishad means "additional sitting near a teacher", and these texts often take the form of a dialogue between a teacher and a pupil who seek to go beyond the Vedas in their search for ultimate wisdom.
		There are many contradictions among the numerous upanishadic texts, yet one message binds them: Not only is there a Universal Soul, or Brahman, but the innermost essence of a person, the atman, or spiritual self, is one with Brahman, the Self.
		The third selection, also from the Brihadaranyaka, describes the state of consciousness of a person who is on the verge of attaining release from the cycle of rebirth and union with Brahman.

	The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad
		The opening passage of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, in which the horse-sacrifice is treated as a symbol, would serve as an example of how a ritualistic symbol and material is used as a cosmological concept for purpose of religious contemplation and philosophic meditation.
		The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad belongs to the Shukla-Yajurveda group and is the most elaborate of them all, touching on almost every issue relevant to human life, and rising to such heights of philosophic genius as may rightly be considered as the greatest achievement of the human mind in history.
		The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad is a veritable research reservoir and may be taken up for intensive study by those who are pure in heart, sincere in their aspirations, and wholly devoted to a Godly life.

	ATMA JYOTI ASHRAM - Meditation
		The upanishad continues with the exposition of Om as the power of fulfillment, saying: "Verily, this Syllable is of assent, for whenever one assents to anything he says simply 'Om.' What is assent is fulfillment.
		A little later the upanishad returns to the power of Om to fulfil desires, saying: "He obtains wishes by singing [intoning], who knowing this, meditates on the udgitha8 [Om] as the syllable.
		To reinforce this, the upanishad goes on: "One should meditate on the breath in the mouth as the udgitha, for it is continually sounding 'Om.'"13 The upward-moving prana which manifests as the breath is continually sounding "Om" in the subtle levels.

	Tattvamasi in the Upanishads
		The Upanishadic literature is regarded as the source of the six Indian orthodox schools (Shad Darshana) of salvation, which were developed during the classical period of Hinduism.
		The Upanishadic literature is consistent to affirm that only by removing the veil of ignorance, the human true nature can be accessed, so that Brahman be experienced at personal level.
		The Upanishads define in essence the ultimate nature of existence by the conclusion of the four great sayings (Mahavakyas) in which Tattvamasi appears to be their own conclusion.

	The Hindu : Book Review : Upanishad commentary
		THE BRIHADARANYAKA Upanishad is one of the larger Upanishads.
		This particular Upanishad is of special significance for Visishtadvaita philosophy as it expounds the concept of the Supreme Soul residing in every one and acting as the inner ruler.
		Granting that it is one of the less esoteric of the Upanishads, the author has to present a translation and commentary that would make some sense to the modern reader.

	Introduction to the Second Volume
		Elucidation of the meaning of all the Upanishads, Sarvopanishadarthânubhûti-prakâsa, confines himself likewise to those treatises, dropping, however, the Îsâ, and adding the Maitrâyana-upanishad, of which I have given a translation in this volume, and the Nrisimhottara-tapanîya-upanishad, the translation of which had to be reserved for the next volume.
		It is more difficult to determine which of the Upanishads were chosen by Sankara or deserving the honour of a special commentary.
		Some of the sacrificial technicalities, and their philosophical interpretations with which the Upanishads abound, may perhaps in time assume a clearer meaning, when we shall have more fully mastered the intricacies of the Vedic ceremonial.

		In Patanjali’s Yogic terms or in the terms of Taittiriya Upanishad it is also called Svadhyaya, self-study, to study about the Self and to contemplate on it, to listen about it and then eventually to meditate upon it.
		Even according to the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad there are 33 Divinities or Gods, but they are the manifestation of one single God, Supreme Lord.
		The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad states that when somebody tells you “worship him, worship him” always keep in your mind that it is this Supreme Truth that has become all these, all these are his creation.

		Finally, it is even the taraka, the actual one who himself carries men across to the other shore, the one and only 'ferryman', manifested in manifold ways in fhe form of all those rishis, mahatmas, gurus and buddhas, who throughout history have themselves been awaken and in turn awake their brother-men.
		As long as we remain at the level of signs, the best-signs for us are normally those among which we first awoke as men, and as men devoted to God, even if later on those signs have to he purified and freed from their limitations and particularity.
		For a Hindu the initiation to sannyasa belongs to the series of rites which mark the stages in the life of a the dvija (twice-born) from his conception to his being carried to the funeral-pyre.
