Sanatsujateeyam

Commentary by Sri Apparusu Vijaya Rama Rao

 

Mahabharat is a quintessence of all Srutis and spiritual

literature. Mahabharat is known as Panchama Veda. There is nothing

that is not mentioned in Mahabharat and nothing happened which is not

mentioned in Mahabharat. " YADI HASTI TADANYATRA YANNE HASTI NATAT

QUACHIT. "

 

Sanatsujateeyam is an extract from the great epic Mahabharat.

Sanatsujateeyam comprises of the Chapters 41 to 46 in Udyoga Parvam

of Mahabharat. It is the Brahma Vidya taught by Brahma Putra –

Sanatsujata. Dhrutarastra was given the knowledge about the

importance and the greatness of Brahmacharya and on the details of

the Parabhrahma and the ways and means of self realization.

Dhrutarastra was enquiring for information. He was fond of knowledge

but never practiced even an iota of it. The knowledge of

Sanatsujateeyam is profound. It is an eye opener to Mokshagaamis. Adi

Sankara wrote Bhashayam on Sanatsujateeyam.

..

Vishnu Sahsra Nama was taught to the Satvik Dharmaja. Bhagavad-Gita

was taught to Rajasik Arjuna. Sanatsujateeyam was taught to Tamsik

Dhrutarastra.

 

Sri Apparusu Vijaya Rama Rao is well known to readers of Sivananda

Bharathi for his excellent commentaries on Principal Upanishads. In

Sanatsujateeyam Vijaya Rama Rao garu presented the subject in a very

easy to understand way. He has given good explanation on Mounam and

Brhamacharyam. His cross references from Katopanishad, Bhagavad-Gita,

Srutis, Patanjali Yoga Sutras etc., covers full gamut on this topic.

The book is indeed a treasure for the Sadakas. One must read this to

understand the Sankara Bhashayam on this subject.
