Taittiriya Upanishad - A Journey from the Gross to the Subtle

The Upanishads are a collection of texts which contain the central philosophical concepts of Hinduism. They explore the concepts of Brahman (Ultimate Reality) and Atman (Soul, Self), which are the spiritual core of Hinduism.

MATRU DEVO BHAVA (May your mother be a god for you!)
PITRU DEVO BHAVA (May your father be a god for you!)
ACHARYA DEVO BHAVA (May your teacher be a god for you!)
ATITHI DEVO BHAVA (May your guest be a god for you!)

These golden principles, deep “sanskaras” or social and cultural conditioning of Hindus, have always been cornerstones of the Hindu way of living.

These principles are laid down in the Taittiriya Upanishad, which is 7th amongst the 10 “Mukhya” or Primary Upanishads. There are several unique, yet familiar lessons in the Taittiriya Upanishad, including the above principles of respect and hospitality.
