Description

The Upanishads in themselves contain the essence of the Vedas. The philosophy taught by them has been a source of solace for many, both in the east and the west. There are men in the West with whom the Upanishads serve as constant companion.

The idea behind the present play is that the sublime Truths propounded by the most ancient books of Knowledge, the Upanishads, may be brought within easy grasp of even the busiest man. So that, even as a book, it may serve its purpose; the cream of the Upanishads is extracted and presented in a homely style.

Sri Swami Sivandadji Maharaj had been, throughout his writings, stressing upon the value of practice as contrasted with mere theory in spiritual realisation. He had taken pains to express in easy and intelligible language the abstruse portions of the text so that the most valuable teachings can be readily understood by one and all. The songs he had introduced bear the mark of his personality and are vivid and vigorous. They are soul stirring.

The songs of the drama condense the entire teaching and, if got by heart, will furnish material for the meditatively inclined to ponder over the instructions.
