At the beginning\, Sage Aṅgiras is asked by Śaunaka\, “What is that one thing\, knowing which everything gets known?” The sage replies that there are two types of knowledge to be gained: parā-vidyā and aparā-vidyā – knowledge of the absolute truth\, i.e.\, Brahman\, and knowledge of the world. Both the finite and apparent nature of the world must be known to develop dispassion for the world and pursue the absolute truth. Swamiji will unfold the glories of the upaniṣad with the masterful bhāṣyam of Śrī Ādi Śaṅkarācārya. \nKena Upaniṣad with bhāṣyam:\nLike all upaniṣads\, Kena Upaniṣad is in the form of a dialog between teacher and student\, and begins with a question: “kena iṣitaṃ patati preṣitaṃ manaḥ?” “Willed by whom or in whose presence does the mind land upon its objects?” There follows an exploration of the witnessing consciousness behind the mind\, as the “eye of the eye” and the “ear of the ear.” Swamiji will continue his unfolding of this upaniṣad\, which began last year. \nSCHEDULE:\nAll Times Are Eastern Time (ET\, UTC-4) \nTuesday\, July 7 \n8:00-9:00 pm ET- Orientation and Introductory Satsang by Swami Sakshatkrutananda\nSaraswatiji (Virtual) \nWednesday\, July 8 to Monday\, July 20 \n7:00 – 7:30am: Guided Meditation by Swami Jnanananda Saraswatiji\n9:00 – 10:00am Mundaka Upanishad with Bhāṣyam by Swami Sakshatkrutananda Saraswatiji\n(Hybrid)\n11:00 – 12:00pm Kenopanishad with Bhāṣyam by Swami Muktatmananda Saraswatiji\n5:00 – 6:00pm Kenopanishad with Bhāṣyam by Swami Muktatmananda Saraswatiji\n8:00 – 9:00 pm: Satsang (Q&A) by Swami Sakshatkrutananda Saraswatiji & Swami\nMuktatmananda Saraswatiji (Alternating each day) \nTuesday\, July 21 – Retreat Concluding Day \n7:00 – 7:30am: Guided Meditation by Swami Jnanananda Saraswatiji\n9:00 – 10:00am: Kenopanishad with Bhāṣyam by Swami Muktatmananda Saraswatiji\n10:30-11:30am Mundaka Upanishad with Bhāṣyam by Swami Sakshatkrutananda Saraswatiji\nfollowed by Guru Daksina \nLOCATION: \nArsha Vidya Gurukulam\n651 Route 115\nSaylorsburg\, Pennsylvania
