- Yajnavalkya was a philosopher from ancient India during the Vedic period. He was born in a Brahmin family in Mithila, a region known for intellectual and spiritual thought, now part of Bihar. From an early age, Yajnavalkya showed a deep thirst for knowledge, studying the Vedas and philosophy, which were considered the highest form of education at the time.
Teacher and Break from Tradition
Yajnavalkya studied under Guru Vaishampayana, a prominent Vedic scholar. However, Yajnavalkya's progressive thinking led to disagreements with his teacher. He believed in going beyond the scriptures and traditional rituals to explore deeper truths. This clash with Vaishampayana resulted in Yajnavalkya leaving his teacher and following his own path.
Unique Personality and Philosophy
Yajnavalkya was known for his calm and humble demeanor, setting him apart from other sages of his time. His philosophy was rooted in the idea that ultimate knowledge (Brahm) could not be captured by definitions-a principle known as Neti-Neti, meaning "not this, not that." He taught that the truth transcends words and categories.
Key Dialogues
Yajnavalkya’s interactions with various thinkers and leaders demonstrated his philosophical depth:
With Gargi: Gargi, a woman philosopher, asked him profound questions about the nature of existence and Brahm. Yajnavalkya responded that the world rests on an invisible force beyond physical matter.
With King Janaka: In a philosophical competition at Janaka's court, Yajnavalkya displayed his intellectual dominance, outwitting other scholars and explaining the connection between the self (Atman) and liberation (moksha).
With Maitreyī: When Yajnavalkya decided to renounce worldly life, his wife Maitreyī asked if wealth could grant immortality. This prompted a conversation where Yajnavalkya explained that true immortality lies in realizing the eternal self, not in material possessions.
Concept of Atman and Brahm
Yajnavalkya emphasized that the Atman (individual self) and Brahm (universal reality) are identical. He taught that the physical world is an illusion (maya), and recognizing the eternal nature of the Atman is the path to liberation. Just as waves rise and fall on the surface of an ocean while its depths remain undisturbed, the Atman remains unchanged despite life's challenges.
Karma, Free Will, and Moksha
According to Yajnavalkya, moksha (liberation) is achieved through self-knowledge, not through rituals. His karma theory focused on responsibility and awareness, not just reward and punishment. Though our actions influence our future, we always have the free will to choose how we act in the present. Awareness of the Atman helps us transcend the ups and downs of life and find peace.
Comparison with Other Philosophies
Yajnavalkya's teachings align with Vedanta’s later thinkers but differ slightly:
Adi Shankaracharya expanded Yajnavalkya’s non-dualism (Advaita), explaining the world as an illusion (maya).
Ramanuja emphasized a personal connection between the individual soul and Brahm, giving rise to Vishishtadvaita (qualified non-dualism).
Yajnavalkya's thoughts also contrast with Buddhism’s anatman (non-self) philosophy. While Yajnavalkya taught that recognizing the Atman ends the cycle of rebirth, Buddha emphasized dissolving the ego and desires to achieve nirvana.
Application in Daily Life
Yajnavalkya’s teachings remain relevant even today. Understanding that roles (like student, parent, or professional) do not define us helps in reducing stress and achieving inner peace. His Neti-Neti principle encourages detachment from limiting identities, while mindful actions based on awareness-not just outcomes-lead to a more peaceful life.
Through self-reflection and spiritual awareness, Yajnavalkya’s philosophy guides individuals towards freedom from emotional burdens and a deeper understanding of themselves.
Conclusion
Yajnavalkya's timeless wisdom teaches that the journey to truth lies within. His insights inspire self-inquiry and help people achieve inner peace by recognizing their true identity beyond external roles and possessions. Whether in ancient India or the modern world, Yajnavalkya’s philosophy offers a path to freedom and fulfillment.

My interest arise,when i started practicing meditation, where cosmic consciousness has impact my thoughts pattern, ....so i found that enlightenment is a constant awareness of oneness with the truth n all truths mainly describe as philosophies,..I also read some books like Zayn yoga, conquest of suffering, geeta, n i listen some spritual masters e.g,swami Vivekanda , osho,buddha ,jidu Krishana murti, n some western philosophy like socrates, Pluto,seneca... And I also understand that philosophy is not just the subject, it's has a linked with spiritualism....
