SriniGUEST
So, that is what is the entire content of this third chapter.
SriniGUEST
And again, remembering Keno Upanishad, which is called the Pratibodha Viditam, So, Pratibodha Viditam means in all variable thoughts there is the non-variable consciousness.
SriniGUEST
So, in any transaction you always have this consciousness which is available.
SriniGUEST
You don't have to go for looking for a new consciousness because it is always available within you as a self-evident I.

In the Vedas, Uma is the first mentioned in the Kena Upanishad, where she described as Uma Haimavati.
TyaganandaHOST
It is a popular belief in Bengal that Uma comes and stays with the people for three days.
TyaganandaHOST
And so a whole set of songs known as Agamani describing the homecoming of Uma has come into existence.
SriniGUEST
And, uh, Swami P says, "Atma must be remembered as an essential nature, chaitanyam or consciousness." So the knowledge of consciousness is necessary or a prerequisite to understand this Upanishad better.
SriniGUEST
So that is why, uh, this Upanishad is done after doing some fundamental Upanishads like Mundaka Upanishad, Kena Upanishad and Katha Upanishad, what we did already.
SriniGUEST
So you need to have a basic understanding of this chaitanyam or consciousness, so before coming to this Upanishad.
SriniGUEST
So the five features of consciousness must be remembered.

Aaron PettyHOST
By whom is the breath sent forth? That which breathes not by the breath, by which the breath is breathed.
