Ashrama Journal Upanishad

The word Upanishad is a little mysterious. It refers to the transference of wisdom that takes place between the one who knows and the one who seeks to know. It also commonly means a particular spiritual text.

Upanishad is a word for that special current of clarity and influence that informs the spiritual journey at the very heart of Advaita Vedanta.

From the long text of our Ashrama journal the spiritual encounters between student and teacher are being compiled into an Upanishad text. Some short samples of that writing are provided here
