Upanishad Ganga | Hindi TV Serial On DVD

हिरण्यमयेन पात्रेण सत्यस्यापिहितं मुखम्। तत्त्वं पूषन्नपावृणु सत्य धर्माय दृष्टये॥
Meaning: O Sun God, The Golden Vessel has concealed the Truth within, open it for me so I can explore it!

The Hindu culture and mythology is definitely the great one. It always lead one towards the path of Dharma (in broad meaning), Krama and Truth. It is the culture which always encourage the people use their wit and ask questions, rather than following anything unknowingly. The greatest treasure of knowledge for the mankind – Shrimad Bhagvad Geeta (aka Geeta) – is also a questionnaire between Krishna (pronounce: Krushna) and Arjun. It is the culture which always respected the inner voice of a person, the curiosity to know the truth and follow the truth and only the truth. Based on the great values of the culture – even the modern day Republic of India have the slogan – Satyamev Jayate (Truth Only Triumphs) on the national symbol.

The Indian literature have the history of thousands of years. The Vedas, Puranas and Upanishadas are full of knowledge, wisdom tales, and other forms of literature. Sagas like the Mahabharat, the Ramayan are in the poetic forms. Sanskrit ( Pronounce: Sanskrut) is one of the richest language in terms of literary and linguistic aspects. The remarkable amount of knowledge is consolidated in these books.

That is why we wrote the first lines – “it is concealed”. One need to perform a treasure hunt to know it!!!
