The Taittirîya Upanishad: With the commentaries of Sankarâchârya, Suresvarâchârya and Sâyana (Vidyâranya)

The Taittiriya Upanishad, accompanied by commentaries from Sankaracharya, Suresvaracharya, and Sayana, elucidates the path of Brahmavidya, emphasizing salvation through knowledge. Opening with Sankaracharya's introduction to Brahmavidya and the Upanishad's divisions, the text delves into various aspects of contemplation. Lessons encompass invocation, phonetics, and reflection on Samhita. Chapters explore Brahman's role as Creator, the nature of Jiva, and different states of consciousness. Subsequent discussions address Brahman's presence in external phenomena, its relationship with joy, and the aspirants who attain it. Further exploration extends to Brahman's boundless bliss, its manifestations, and the concept of the Self, stressing the principle of non-duality. The book concludes with an examination of the unconditioned Brahman and liberation beyond actions in the section titled "Investigation of Brahman." It offers methods for exploring Brahman, insights applicable to daily life, and emphasizes the inevitability of wisdom and liberation.
