Saturday-Sunday May 24-25, 2008 Memorial Day Camp - Sadvidya of Chandogya Upanishad by Sri Dr. K. Sadananda. All objective knowledge appears to be exhaustive; the more one learns the more ignorant one becomes. He discovers that what he does not know is more than what he knows, in any field of knowledge. It is only the Upanishad teacher makes a daring declaration that by knowing one thing you will know everything that need to be known – Eka vijnAnEna sarva vijnAnam bhavati. Chandogya Upanishad 6th Chapter on Sadvidya focuses exclusively on this statement, analyzing exhaustively and logically how knowing the one (Self), you can know everything – tat tvam asi. It is an ideal chapter with an emphasis on the mahAvakya tomake it easier for the student to understand. We will explore how the knowledge of the Self is the ultimate knowledge to know everything that is needed to be known. For details contact Raja Kirkire 301-774-1022.
