Shvetashvatara Upanishad | Wikipedia audio article
This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:
Shvetashvatara Upanishad
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Shvetashvatara Upanishad (Sanskrit:श्वेताश्वतरोपनिशद or श्वेताश्वतर उपनिषद् , IAST: Śvetāśvataropaniṣad or Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad) is an ancient Sanskrit text embedded in the Yajurveda. It is listed as number 14 in the Muktika canon of 108 Upanishads. The Upanishad contains 113 mantras or verses in six chapters.The Upanishad is one of the 33 Upanishads from Taittiriyas, and associated with the Shvetashvatara tradition within Karakas sakha of the Yajurveda. It is a part of the black Yajurveda, with the term black implying the un-arranged, motley collection of content in Yajurveda, in contrast to the white (well arranged) Yajurveda where Brihadaranyaka Upanishad and Isha Upanishad are embedded.The chronology of Maitrayaniya Upanishad is contested, but generally accepted to be a late period Upanishadic composition. The text includes a closing credit to sage Shvetashvatara, considered the author of the Upanishad. However, scholars believe that while sections of the text shows an individual stamp by its style, verses and other sections were interpolated and expanded over time; the Upanishad as it exists now is the work of more than one author.The Shvetashvatara Upanishad opens with metaphysical questions about the primal cause of all existence, its origin, its end, and what role, if any, time, nature, necessity, chance, and the spirit had as the primal cause. It then develops its answer, concluding that the Universal Soul exists in every individual, it expresses itself in every creature, everything in the world is a projection of it, and that there is Oneness, a unity of souls in one and only Self. The text is notable for its discussion of the concept of personal god – Ishvara, and suggesting it to be a path to one's own Highest Self. The text is also notable for its multiple mentions of both Rudra and Shiva, along with other Vedic deities, and of crystallization of Shiva as a central theme.The Shvetashvatara Upanishad is a Principal Upanishad of Hinduism, commented by many of its ancient and medieval scholars. It is a foundational text of the philosophy of Shaivism, as well as the Yoga and Vedanta schools of Hinduism. Some 19th century scholars initially suggested that Shvetashvatara Upanishad is sectarian or possibly influenced by Christianity, hypotheses that were disputed, later discarded by scholars.

Nirvana Shatakam - Sounds of Isha
Vairagya literally means transparent. Just as clear flowing water in the river acquires the color of the soil beneath, one who is transparent has no color of his own. Color is a product of the breaking up of light, the basis of our ability to see. Vairagya is an unbroken or free-of-all-distortion state that can light the world. It is only in a state of vairagya one can see as It Is.
Essentially, vairagya means to be as the Creator intended -- not bound to any particular aspect of life, the only bond with the Beyond, the source of Creation. Vairagya is the second album in Sounds of Isha's Mantra Series, and consists of chants sung by Isha Brahmacharis.
Brahmacharya means the path of the Divine. Isha Brahmacharis live with a burning intensity and commitment to realize their Ultimate nature, offering themselves as instruments to transmit technologies of wellbeing to all. Initiated by Sadhguru, and infused with the fire and Grace of Adiyogi, they strive to maintain and perpetuate the sanctity of the spiritual process, holding it above their own life.
Yogi, mystic and visionary, Sadhguru is a spiritual Master with a difference. His life and work serve as a reminder that yoga is not an esoteric discipline from an outdated past, but a contemporary science, vitally relevant to our times.
Vairagya consists of five chants, each with its own unique hue. First, the Nirvana Shatakam is an outstanding composition by Adi Shankara, embodying the essence of vairagya. This chant is regarded as synonymous with the path of brahmacharya. The Guru Paduka Stotram is a devotional tribute in gratitude and praise of the sandals of the Guru. Brahmananda Swarupa (the image of the Creator's ecstasy) is a consecrated mantra which one can chant throughout the day to connect to Sadhguru's energy and Grace. Aum Namah Shivaya, known as the Maha Mantra is a very powerful arrangement of sounds which forms an integral part of a Brahmachari's sadhana. It is also the highlight of the Mahashivaratri meditations at Isha Yoga Center. Shambho (the auspicious one) is a very gentle and beautiful manifestation of Shiva who readily responds to those who call upon Him. It is chanted daily by Brahmacharinis during pradakshina of Dhyanalinga.
Sounds of Isha is Sadhguru's own home grown, anomalous group of 'musicians'. A fusion of music from different parts of the world, traversing effortlessly across boundaries and cultures. Whilst the music of these songs soothe our minds and their melodies enthrall us, their true potential is in their ability to instill in us an element of the eternal silence that touches the core of the human being .
Isha Foundation is a non-religious, not-for-profit, public service organization, which addresses all aspects of human well being. From its powerful programs for inner transformation to its inspiring projects for society and environment, Isha activities are designed to create an inclusive culture that is the basis for global harmony and progress. This approach has gained worldwide recognition and reflects in Isha Foundation's special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations.

Untangling the Knots of Life | Sadhguru
How to untie the knots of life? Sadhguru wonders, with both ends of life’s thread fixed, how did you get so knotted up? Both knots and unknotting are made up in the distorted mirror of the mind, he explains. When you become too entangled with your own creation, you are bound to miss the creator’s creation.

Kishore's father and his friend were murdered by the notorious Anantram who now wears a mask to hide his true identity and continues manufacturing spurious medicines and also passes as Nutan's uncle. The firm employing Kishore is run by Anantram and his two henchmen Sevakram and Bihari. Anantram goes to murder Kishore in the hospital, but drops his monocle which makes Iftekhar suspicious.

How old is The Orthodox Faith? Miracle in the Orthodox Church: The Ceremony of the Holy Light in Jerusalem
The Divine Music Project
This website contains more than 6000 pages of Byzantine music in Western and Byzantine notation in the style of chanting used on the Holy Mountain.
The scope of this project covers the liturgies of St. John Chrysostom, St. Basil the Great, St. James, and the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts, as well as various doxologies, and hymns for Vespers, Orthros, the Mysteries, and the Menaion. The words of the hymns are provided in Elizabethan English, Modern English, and Greek. Click on the ten orange buttons below to access these hymns.
NEW ADDITION: An online tutorial has been added for learning Braille Byzantine Music Notation.
St. Anthony's has done a great service for the church musicians of our Archdiocese! The Divine Liturgies Music Project is a wonderful and comprehensive resource that belongs in every chanter's and choir director's library! It opens windows into the ancient hymnology of our Church, and shows us its beauty and breadth. Its innovative formatting makes the music, the translations, and the reference materials easily accessible.
—Dr. Vicki Pappas, National Chairman
National Forum of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians
This is undoubtedly a very important work with great historical significance. This fine book preserves the living, unbroken, 1000-year tradition of Athonite psalmody, which is a steadfast guide to interpreting Byzantine chant. Another great accomplishment of this book is that the genuine melody is written, not just the dry metrophonia.
—Dr. Gregorios Stathis
Professor of Byzantine Musicology and the Art of Chant, University of Athens
What a wonderful collection of transcriptions! This book will be completely accessible to the uninitiated, and a wealth of hymnography for the established cantor. This is truly a good work for the Orthodox Church!
—Dr. Stephen Butler
Professor of Music, Westmont College, California
In this prodigious compilation, St. Anthony's Monastery has succeeded in bringing the glory of Byzantine hymnology to the English-speaking world. Previously inaccessible treasures of Byzantine chant have been meticulously translated and transcribed so that they may become the precious currency of English-speaking Orthodox parishes, enabling worshipers to partake of its mystical power. This volume will leave a lasting legacy to the Orthodox world.
—Dr. Constantine Kokenes
Chanter, Atlanta, Georgia
What a rich blessing for the Eastern Orthodox Church! This tremendous spiritual and musicological work, diligently spearheaded by Father Ephraim, is a monumental labor of love nothing short of a masterpiece, and we recommend it to all for use in the parishes.
+Father Nicholas Kastanas
Professor of Byzantine Music, Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, Boston
