Bhāratavarṣa is known for its unique perspectives on various streams of knowledge. The upanishads have been the backbone of our culture, its essence and existence. The ten principal upanishads are the most famous and commented. Along with them, there are several other upanishads such as Shakta, Shaiva, and Vaishnava upanishads that are listed and published. In this list, we find 20 Yoga upanishads as well.
The upanishads are beyond technicalities and focus on the soul of it. These 20 upanishads on Yoga take us beyond asanas and pranayamas and enlighten us on the ultimate purpose of our lives. Yoga as the crux of our life style requires the tenets of Yoga Upanishads.
Advaya-taraka Upanishad is a part of Shukla Yajurveda and is the first amongst the 20 yoga upanishads. It deals about three types of lakshya, taraka, its definition and types, shambhavi mudra and characteristics of acharya and sadhaka. In a series of lectures, we shall explore all the mantras and their subsequent commentary composed by Upanishad Brahma Yogin in English.
