Nārāyaṇa Upaniṣat
Unfolding the importance of the famous mantra for contemplation and japa – oṃ namo nārāyaṇāya – the Nārāyaṇa upaniṣat holds a prime place in the recitation of pañca sūktam pārāyaṇa – the practice of reciting 5 important hymns together. It is recited like the glorious pendant of this garland of Sūktams.
Course objectives
At the end of this course, students will learn
- To recite the Nārāyaṇa upaniṣat with full understanding of the Vedic phonetics involved.
- Understand a high level meaning of this text.
- Use the material provided for continued practice after course ends.
The Nārāyaṇa upaṇiṣat unfolds the upāsana (meditative means) of reaching Nārāyaṇa and asserts that all humans, ṛṣi-s (visionary poets) and all beings are born from and resolve into Nārāyaṇa. Nārāyaṇa created Prāṇa, senses and the mind. Nārāyaṇa created all the elements, all gods, the Veda. A very enjoyable and meditative chant to learn!
