Why Are You Afraid of Death? Learn to Live!
How can we overcome the fear of death and all other fears? The Upanishads give us an understanding of the universe, the soul, and absolute truth that frees us from fear.
Overview
We want to enjoy life—to experience love and fulfillment and to be free from suffering. The teachings of the Upanishads, the later part of the Vedas, can help us, but these secret teachings cannot be learned from a book. Only a teacher can reveal their true meaning, as Swami Rama does in this video series on the Isha Upanishad. Discover how the fear of death and all other fears prevent us from fully enjoying life, and what the best remedy is for fear. Learn how embracing non-attachment opens the door to both love and freedom.
Swami Rama also explains how the universe came into existence, how the Vedas were revealed, and whether it is possible for us today to receive revelations just as the Vedic sages did. Join him as he unveils the secrets of the Isha Upanishad.
