Recently i had a privilege of attending a discourse on mundakoupanishad. To attend such type of discourse you need a seperate mindset. Bascially, to be a vedantik it is not that easy because these studies transcends our common "KNOWLEDGE"(BTW are we knowledgeable? ) Who cares man? This upanishad is a must for persons who are renouncing the worldly desires certainly, I'm not that one? This upanishad is found in the fourth veda i.e. atharvana veda. Basically, all upanishad are in the form of question and answer format(PROUD TO BE A HINDU YOU CAN QUESTION YOUR DIVINE SOULS WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE IN OTHER RELIGIONS WHERE IT IS REGARDED AS A BLASHPHEMY) it takes place between shishya and Guru. The primary task of any guru is to dispel the darkness of shishya's ignorance.
Btw, the phrase which is embossed in our national embelem "SATYA MEVAJAYATE" is found in this upanishad . Moreover, this upanishad is interspersed with parables. there is one parable which has the shades of Adam and eve story but, in this story humans were not involved in that story , the plot of the sory spun around two birds one represents paramatma and the other one represent jivatma.
You may wonder why I am not discussing about the upanishad in detail because this involves brahma vidya .I am sorry I know only one vidya who is residing next door. I don't have a calibre to discuss about this treatise. If I say anything on this then it would look like a half-baked case.
