Podcasts about Katha Upanishad

Veel spirituele geschriften zijn geschreven in talen die wij niet dagelijks spreken: Sanskriet, Pali, Chinees, Arabisch of Grieks. Daarom zijn we afhankelijk van vertalingen. Maar wie verschillende vertalingen naast elkaar legt, ontdekt al snel dat ze soms behoorlijk van elkaar verschillen.Welke vertaling is dan de juiste?In deze podcast onderzoek ik de relatie tussen taal, betekenis en ervaring. Aan de hand van voorbeelden uit de Katha Upanishad, de Bhagavad Gītā en de Ashtavakra Samhita kijken we naar woorden die zich niet eenvoudig laten vertalen. Wat betekenen begrippen als śoka, het verdriet of de verwarring van Arjuna? Wat gebeurt er wanneer een vertaler kiest voor "beheersen", "opgaan in" of "tot rust laten komen"?Maar misschien is de belangrijkste vraag niet: "Wat betekent dit woord?" Misschien is de vraag: "Wat probeert deze tekst met dit woord in ons wakker te maken?"Een gesprek over vertalen, begrijpen, ervaren en herinneren. Over de gekleurde bril waardoor wij allemaal kijken. En over levende teksten die, net als muziek, steeds opnieuw tot leven komen wanneer wij er met aandacht naar luisteren.

In the Katha Upanishad, young Nachiketas is sacrificed by his father Vajasravasa to Yama, Lord of Death, and earns three boons after waiting three nights without hospitality; he uses the first two for his father's peace and a heavenly fire ritual, then insists on the third—knowledge of what happens after death—rejecting Yama's temptations of wealth, long life, and pleasures. Yama then teaches him the eternal nature of the Self (Atman), its unity with Brahman, the cosmological ladder rising from senses through mind, intellect, and the Great to the ineffable Quiet Person, and the path of meditation, yoga, and inner realization that liberates one from death and leads to immortality. Here we explore how these concepts tie in with various religious theological themes. Sections: 0:57 Intro 1:41 Nachiketas and His Father 29:24 The Cosmological Ladder – Into the Quiet Anatman 41:13 One Deity – Who arises with the Cosmic Seed 42:59 Brahman – Devas Worship – Manifold Forms – The One Person 49:29 The Cosmic Tree is Also Brahman, the Bright 53:24 Cosmological Ladder – Ineffable 58:41 Conclusion Download MP3 and PDF: https://tinyurl.com/ycx5u9ww Links: Podcast (apple): https://goo.gl/CM4TmV Podcast (android): https://goo.gl/ovLmps Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bridgingbeliefs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BridgingBeliefs9 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bridgingbeliefs9/ X: https://x.com/BridgingBeliefs The Official Bahá'í site: http://www.bahai.org/ No videos on this channel are monetized nor are for commercial purposes.Support the show

Have you ever told yourself you were "letting go" when you were actually just running away? Maybe it was a hard conversation you kept postponing. A responsibility that felt too heavy. A relationship where showing up demanded more than you wanted to give. You called it detachment. But beneath that word, something more honest was happening. You were tired. Or afraid. Or protecting yourself from the pain of an outcome you could not control.Shri Krishna addresses this exact human tendency in four of the most structurally brilliant verses in the Bhagavad Gita. And what he reveals about the sacred wheel of yajna and its only exception will challenge everything you think you know about spiritual surrender.In this episode, you will discoverWhy Shri Krishna says the person who refuses to participate in the yajna cycle does not merely live a sinful life but a meaningless one, and what the word mogham reveals about the emptiness at the center of a pleasure-driven existence.The stunning exception that Shri Krishna introduces immediately after this warning. Who are the self-realized souls that have no duty, and what makes their withdrawal fundamentally different from the avoidance most of us practice?The five koshas, or sheaths of consciousness, and how they map the journey from body-level identification all the way to the atman, giving you a clear picture of where you might be on the spiritual path right now.The critical difference between asakti, which means clinging attachment, and asakta, which means inner freedom. These two words sound almost identical but describe opposite conditions of the heart.How the Isha Upanishad's teaching of "enjoy through renunciation" captures the living paradox of karma yoga. We give up ownership, not enjoyment. We release the grip, not the gift.And the single most practical instruction Shri Krishna offers in these verses. Perform your duties always, without attachment, and through that practice, attain the Supreme.Here is what struck me most deeply while studying this passage. Shri Krishna does not ask Arjuna to become perfect before he acts. He does not demand that Arjuna resolve all his confusion first. He says, act now. Act fully. And let go of the result. That is the mercy hidden inside this teaching. The sacred wheel of yajna does not wait for us to be ready. It invites us to participate as we are, and the participation itself becomes the purification.Think about your own life for a moment. Where are you withholding your energy because you are afraid the outcome will not match your hopes? Where are you refusing to contribute because you have decided in advance that it will not be worth it? That refusal, Shri Krishna says gently but firmly, is what makes a life empty. Not the absence of success. Not the absence of pleasure. But the absence of offering.And then consider the opposite. What would it feel like to give your full effort to something, your full care, your full presence, while genuinely releasing the need for the result to prove your worth? That gap between "I did my best" and "I need this to work out for me to feel okay" is exactly where karma yoga lives. It is where the sacred wheel of yajna and its only exception becomes not a philosophy but a lived experience.The Katha Upanishad promises that when all the desires dwelling in the heart finally fall away, the mortal becomes immortal. That falling away does not happen through force. It happens through sustained, honest participation in the cycle of offering. One act at a time. One released expectation at a time. One moment of remembering that even this body is a temporary gift from prakriti.May your action be full. May your grip be light. And may the sacred wheel of yajna carry you steadily toward the Self that was always shining within.krsnadaasa (Servant of Krishna)Contact Krsnadaasa - Pragmatic Bhagavad Gita

In this timeless tale from the Katha Upanishad, a wise soul, Nachiketa, meets Yama—the Lord of Death—and asks the ultimate question: What survives when all else fades?Through deep inquiry, courage, and stillness, Nachiketa uncovers the nature of the true Self—birthless, deathless, and eternal. Anand Ji guides us through this sacred dialogue, revealing how the fire of longing (mumukshutva) and the path of wisdom (shreya) lead to inner freedom.Let this story awaken something eternal within you.For more meditative wisdom, knowledge and integrative teachings visit : www.instagram.com/theanandmehrotra/www.sattvaconnect.com sattvayogaacademy.com#Liberation #storytelling #YogVedantic #AnandMehrotra #meditation #self-realisation #awakening #wisdom #consciousness #growth #unity #sattvayogaacademy #sattvaconnect #knowledge #yoga

Yoga is a group of physical, mental, energetic and spiritual practices which originated in ancient India, aim to still the mind and reduce human suffering (Duḥkha). Yoga can even include sexual energy in its practices. Yoga-like practices were first mentioned in the ancient Hindu text known as Rigveda. Yoga is referred to in a number of the Upanishads.The first known appearance of the word "yoga" with the same meaning as the modern term is in the Katha Upanishad, which was probably composed between the fifth and third centuries BCE. The Bhagavad Gita describes yoga as “skill in action.” It has to do with the raising of consciousness, the discovery of dysfunctional thoughts and perceptions, the reduction of suffering, and the discovery of inner peace. One of the keys to healthy aging, peace of mind and terrific sexuality for men is yoga, partly as it aids in maintaining muscle strength, flexibility and balance. Join Dr. John in an arousing conversation with Thomas Gloor, a yoga teacher for men. He has taught for several decades and his wisdom is inspiring. Some topics covered include:The difference between the energetic body and the physical body.Tantric yoga and sexuality.The difference between orgasm and ejaculation.Transforming emotional energy into spiritual energy.If you like what you've heard at The Evolved Caveman podcast, support us by subscribing, leaving reviews on Apple podcasts.

Find out why everything you know about yoga might be wrong." That's a bold statement, but in the newest episode of Mind Muscle, we're tapping into reliable sources and diving deep into the disputed history of modern yoga practice. We're not here to disqualify the benefits of yoga, but to present a different origin story and unravel the truths behind its evolution.Our journey waltzes back to the Katha Upanishad in 300 BCE, exploring the role of influential figures like Pantanjali in the adaptation of yoga, and how its transformation was affected by cultural shifts, societal views, and the rise of physical culture. We question the influence of individuals like Eugene Sandow and dive into the origins of modern yoga, which had a surprising amount of cross-cultural influences and trends. Brace yourself for some jaw-dropping revelations: yoga as we know it was actually formulated in the late 1960s in Canada and has since been co-opted and commercialized.In the final stretch, we'll serve up a discussion about the horseshoe appeal of yoga and alternative medicine that surprisingly unites people from opposite ends of the political spectrum. We'll share insights from an ayahuasca ceremony, and an intriguing look at how alternative medicine and yoga blur political lines. Remember, yoga is more than just a fitness trend—it's a journey of understanding and a practice that evolves over time, much like our understanding of its history. Join us as we challenge preconceived narratives and debunk prevalent yoga myths! Tune in to Mind Muscle and let's get this knowledge workout started.Producer: Thor BenanderEditor: Luke MoreyIntro Theme: Ajax BenanderIntro: Timothy DurantFor more, visit Simon at The Antagonist

Katha Upanishad as its santi form is sounded is actually something beyond all material calculation. It can't be understood. It is revealed knowledge. In other words, it talks about the spiritual existence. It talks about our relationship with God. It talks about death and what is after death. And finally, it talks about the human spirit and the actual origins and nature of consciousness and experience. NEW!

Sandeep Maheshwari is a name among millions who struggled, failed and surged ahead in search of success, happiness and contentment. Just like any middle class guy, he too had a bunch of unclear dreams and a blurred vision of his goals in life. All he had was an undying learning attitude to hold on to. Rowing through ups and downs, it was time that taught him the true meaning of his life.

The Katha Upanishad is a dialogue with death. The meaning of Katha with the dot under the T, the ordinary Katha without the dot means like stories, past times, instructions even, or things that were done, you know, like histories in the past. But Katha with the dot underneath it, when it's pronounced properly, it means distress. I had to dig deep into the Sanskrit dictionaries to find this. It means distress, but it's also a name of Shiva. So Shiva is death. NEW!

Putting space in your life and letting go of what doesn't matter will give you the energy to focus deeply on what does." -@HeyCoryAllen on IG"Fulfillment of desire is a natural consequence of knowing the Self.   For example, the Kena Upanishad points out that, "thorough the Self one gains strength" (atmana vindate viryam).  The Sanskrit word for strength is viryam, which also means 'vitality', or 'energy'.  When the Self is realized through direct experience, the individual enjoys a state of contentment in which desires are no longer experienced as unfulfilled needs that cling to the heart. Then whatever the individual might require for the maintenance of life will be produced through the creative power of his or her own nature. The Mundaka Upanishad explains how desires are fulfilled in an effortless manner for one who knows the self:'Whatever world a man of purified nature sees clearly in his mind,and whatever desires he desires, that world and those desires he wins.He who knows Brahman dwelling in the secret place, in the field of the transcendent, wins all desires together with Brahman, the all-knowing.'The Katha Upanishad expresses the same idea:'This imperishable indeed is Brahman.This imperishable indeed is the Supreme.For one who truly knows this Imperishable,whatever he desires, is his.'"-Excerpt from  'Upanishads' (A New Translation) Vernon Katz and Thomas Egenes"A lot can happen in a month.

Welcome to the podcast everyone! Have you ever wondered about reincarnation, your coming death, or the meaning of life? Have you ever pondered the eternal question: Who am I? If so you'll really dig this episode where I read one of the sacred texts of India, called the "Katha Upanishad." This is the story of a young boy, a brahmin, who gets the chance to have three wishes granted by the lord of death, named Yama. The Boy, Nachiketas, asks Yama, in his third wish, to reveal the secrets of what happens to us when we die. This is a story packed with universal wisdom, about the different paths we can take in life. It is a Vedantic teaching, steeped in a wisdom that transcends time, and which can be used to soothe a busy, fragmented mind.  The text can be listened to as a meditation, a yoga nidra, or even as a bedtime story.The reading of the text begins at: 27:20 The Intro is extremely useful and has some great backstory that can help open one's imagination for the text. However, skip to the actual poem, if you wish to interpret teaching for yourself.  The Jai Sugrim Method Podcast is sponsored by Commons CBDI use commons cbd daily to reduce exercise induced inflammation, as well as for good sleep.You can order Cannabis Products from Commons with my ambassador link:www.commons.co/with/jsugrimThe Show is also sponsored by WHOOP, your personal digital fitness tracker: Order your whoop strap with Jai's Unique Link:https://join.whoop.com/376818To train with Jai, and learn about his yoga classes and massage therapy treatments:www.jaisugrim.comTo Join The Art of Aging Book Club:https://jaisugrim.com/book-club/To support this podcast go to patreon:patreon.com/jaisugrimEnjoy and share this episode!May it bring You Insight!

Vedic mythos, or storytelling, is often laced with humor to get a point across. In this episode of the podcast, Thom recounts a tale from the Katha Upanishad, of a Sergeant and a General. It's a scenario that wouldn't look out of place in an episode of “The Office” or any other workplace sitcom. Having a character take credit for someone else's idea and then retelling it back to them is a pretty common gag, but in the Upanishad, it's much more than just a tool for a cheap laugh. It's a profound lesson which, once learned, can be a source of empowerment and a tool for living a more deliberate life.Episode Highlights[00:56] Katha Upanishad[03:19] A Friend in the Sky[05:27] The Breaking of Unity[07:31] "You see that hill there?"[09:57] An Amazing Idea[11:44] A Source of Thoughts Deep Inside of Us[14:11] A Wave is Nothing but Ocean[16:44] Desire[19:12] I Am Totality[21:28] A Parody on Praying to God[22:39] An Unnecessary Step[23:52] We Just Say Yes[26:53] Permitted to Act Useful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

A reading of the Katha Upanishad translated by Juan Mascaró. The Katha-Upanishad is probably the most widely known of all the Upanishads. It was early translated into Persian and through this rendering first made its way into Europe. The text presents a dialogue between an aspiring disciple, Nachiketas, and the Ruler of Death regarding the great Hereafter. Music by Maok - https://www.maok.sk/homepage

What IS death? What "dies" exactly? Do YOU end when the body ends? Socrates described philosophy as "preparation for death", Nachiketha learned the secret of life in Death's house in the Katha Upanishad, the Shakyamuni Buddha pointed out that as much as we like to pretend otherwise, impermanence is a fact of life. But impermanence of what?To celebrate today's Pluto Retrograde and the Scorpio Full Moon, we explore the deepest questions of philosophy and find profound answers from Advaita Vedanta (Hindu Non-Duality), answers that not only free us once and for all from the fear of death but also give us tools to meaningfully overcome grief and loss. For more videos and instruction, visit me at patreon.com/yogawithnish

All spiritual traditions prescribe some form of self-abnegation in the name of purifying the vessel:Jesus fasted in the desert,the Islamic mystics called themselves "Fakirs" (Poor Ones),Nachiketha jumped into the fire in the Katha Upanishad...and yet, the Buddha spoke against severe austerity in favor of the "Middle Way", the path of moderation.What is austerity, really?  In this video we explore the esoteric principle behind purification practices and I suggest a few indispensable techniques to incorporate into your spiritual life right away.  Also, we have a lengthy discussion on what the REAL purpose of spiritual practice is; we diagnose why it might be that despite all the meditating and attending Vedanta lectures, we might still not be "manifesting our divinity in each movement of life."
