Upanishad Ganga Study Group – Session 3 at Ashram

“It’s old, yet new it’s meant for you”
‘Upanishad Ganga’ – a tele-serial – was conceptualized by Swami Tejomayananda – Head of Chinmaya Mission Worldwide, with a vision to take the message of the Upanishads to the masses. Upanishad Ganga covers the entire gamut on Indian culture, heritage, philosophy and wisdom spanning more than 5000 years.

Swami Chinmayananda inspired by the flow of the Ganga from the Himalayas to the ocean, blessing and nourishing mankind on her way, strongly felt that he too, must ‘take this divine Knowledge to the heart and hearths of each and every man, woman and child of India…’ The Upanishads contain universal knowledge – which is relevant at all times, appeals to all people and is applicable at every stage of life. Just as Mother Ganga generously graces the plains, the perennial flow of purity, nobility and wisdom is now captured in a contemporary style to enrich the human mind and nourish the eternal values of life.

A unique and riveting feature of this dedicated and mammoth serial is that it employs three mediums – theatre, storytelling and television. Through the innovative Great Indian Theatre, the ancient Indian wisdom is shared in a style which synergizes the traditional with the modern. The invaluable insights into culture, right living, the four goals of human life, glory of human birth, ethics and much more are delivered in Hindi, in a simple yet engrossing manner, through 52 episodes. The depth and clarity of concepts, the practical applicability and powerful depiction leaves the viewer wanting to delve deeper to transform one’s life.
