Today's view of history cannot account for ancient anomalies, such as the Pyramids and advanced knowledge contained in India's Vedas. But in 1894, an Indian sage gave us an explanation not only for our hidden past but for the trends of today and for our future enlightenment - the 24,000-year yuga cycle.

Story
These 1028 poems, grouped as 10 ‘Circles’ (mandalas), have variously been called hymns, poems or songs by Sanskrit scholars. The Rik (so pronounced by the ancient Angirases clans, or Seer-Priest families) was an experiment with sound. The emphasis is always on sounding the words perfectly. The focus tends to be on the ideas rather than on the authors in Vedic literature, they are largely religious in nature, reflecting the world view and spiritual preoccupations of ancient India.

The author Sri "M" is an extraordinary individual. His uniqueness lies not only in the fact that at the young age of 19 and a half, he travelled to snow-clad Himalayas from Kerala, and there he met and lived for several years with a "real-time" yogi, Babaji, but also that he should undertake such an unusual and adventurous exploration, given his non-Hindu birth and antecedents. The metamorphosis of Mumtaz Ali Khan into Sri "M", a yogi with profound knowledge of the Upanishads and deep personal insights, is born of first-hand experiences with higher levels of consciousness....

On the surface, this is a biography of an accomplished seeker who mastered the practices of yoga and brought a system for understanding the mysteries of body, mind, and spirit to students in the West. But, like the life of Swami Rama, this audiobook offers more than a sequence of astonishing events. As you read the stories of authentic guru-disciple relationships Swami Rama had both with his master and with his own students, you will see how the spiritual wisdom is transmitted through generations. This book also serves as a guide to advanced practices of yoga and tantra not commonly understood in modern times.

Wish it had a better narrator

Publisher's Summary
Upanishads are mankind's oldest works of philosophy, predating the earliest Greek philosophy. They are the concluding part of the Vedas, the ancient Indian sacred literature, and mark the culmination of a tradition of speculative thought first expressed in the Rig-Veda more than 4,000 years ago.
Remarkable for their meditative depth, spirit of doubt and intellectual honesty, the Upanishads are concerned with the knowledge of the Brahman, the Ultimate Reality, and man's relationship with it.
The name Upanishad is derived from the face-to-face mode of imparting knowledge - in the utmost sanctity and secrecy, to prevent its trivialisation or perversion. Composed in Sanskrit between 900 and 600 BC, the Upanishads presented here are by far the oldest and most important of those that exist.
Max Muller’s classic translation of the first 12 Upanishads have been extensively revised by Suren Navlakha, who provides an entirely new translation of the 13th, the Kaushitaka Upanishad. The recording opens with an extended and informative introduction to the Upanishads, setting the background to the genre, and each Upanishad is prefaced with a brief introductory passage. The Indian actor Sagar Arya gives an idiomatic reading.

Golden words, well narrated
Wealth of knowledge, well narrated, clear words. Vedas n Upanishads don't spoon-feed. They are cryptic in many instances. To understand them better i would suggest the reader to not hear it like a full story, but hear a chapter and digest in mind/read notes made, then move to another chapter in sometime. Hearing at one shot will become overwhelming. Breaking into parts can greatly help understanding. Loved the book and narration. Thanks!

Brahman Brahman Brahman ... where is Brahma , where is Brahmana that's why something better understand in proper decoding of Sanskrit and Atharvaveda is written thousands n thousands of years after other vedas by Maharishi Vedvyasa Author of Epic Mahabharat and other his finest devotional work in which that great seer praises n praises leela of Bhagwan after that he get ultimate peace and announced bhakti with desire or no desire is only give mental and physical peace and strength. And that work is well known as shrimad bhagavat mahapuran... okay decode Mahapuran it's not sanskrit it's hindi ... if only this you decode you come to know greatness of our sages and seers

Decently good, issue with highs/tone mix tho
I liked everything but the audio tone mix. Most ‘s’ sounds where high and very uncomfortable for my ears. I had to adjust my in-car tone mix to the max -10 for audio highs for it to be barable. In-ear/headphone mix was better/bare able tho. 👍🤷♂️
Also, thick accents by the readers. Not rly a bad thing, but it does take some acclimating at first to be able to understand ever word clearly.
