"Satyameva Jayate" A story of two birds from Mundaka Upanshad.
Today's story is about two birds who perch on two different branches of a tree. The bird which perch on the lower branch is called the "lower bird" and the bird perching on the higher branch is referred as "higher bird".
This is a fascinating story of Aatman and Brahman and how they are connected to each other.
Also from this story we get our national motto - "Satyameva Jayate".

    As a non brahmin the story appears to re enforce the fact that Brahmins placed themselves above all others yet this caste began as nothing more than scribes recording events then expanded into religious thinking. Due to this being a brahmin story then it's best left for them alone ! Ironically the brahmin bull is used by whites who conquered all the Brahmins & others uses this bull to breed for meat to be consumed by them.

    • @StoriesfromUpanishads
      @StoriesfromUpanishads 5 днів тому

      Sir, I think you have to understand Upanishads to the core, before you can comment like this. It is not about any caste specific., Upanishads were mainly formulated by a Guru (teacher) and what he told or taught his students. It was beyond any caste. It was pure knowledge of Brahman, and Aatman and how one can attain that path. Please listen to my podcast series "Stories From Upanishads"

      True Sir, I am an artist also and love hand drawn images over AI, but issue is that to create an episode with complete hand drawn sketches would take lot of time. AI is there to help us to produce faster (may not be the best) and efficiently. Idea is the story, as most of us are forgetting our past, our heritage and traditions. This is my small effort to restore that.

    ~ The symposium of debates between scholars in King Janak's court (*dated antiquity) parallels with the origin of our universe and supporting scientific theories! “kham vayur jyotiraphah prithivi vishvasya dharini’ which means - the universe is borne (supported) by space (Kham), air (vayu), fire (jyoti), water (apah) and earth (prithivi). These elements reconnect us with the nature outside of us and help us to connect to our inner Self."
