  • 006 - Third Mundaka - Second Khanda

    006 - Third Mundaka - Second Khanda
    Feb 25 2026
    The term Upanishad (upa-ni-shad) evokes the image of students gathering around a teacher for deep discussion and learning. With over 200 Upanishads known, many have faded into obscurity, preserved only through references in other texts. For centuries, these profound teachings were shared orally as Shlokas—verses from the Vedic Anustubh meter. The Mundaka-Upanishad, part of the Atharva-Veda, takes its name from Mundaka, meaning shaved, symbolizing the knowledge that liberates one from ignorance. This poetic text, comprised of 64 verses arranged as mantras, focuses not on rituals but on deep spiritual truths. Divided into three parts with two sections each, it is believed to be post-Buddhist, although its exact dating is debated. Among the 11 principal Upanishads noted by Sankara in his commentary on the Vedanta-Sutras, this work is a cornerstone of Vedanta philosophy. The Upanishads transcend religious boundaries, representing timeless wisdom free from dogma. Notably, German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer hailed them as the epitome of human wisdom.
