Brahma vidya in hindi pdf

A Brahma Vidya is a distinct path of meditation taught in the Upanishads. The passage of time has largely obscured the nature and culture of these meditations, and subsequent discussions of them are largely academic, drawing on the texts and their subsequent treatment in the Brahma Sutras.
