The newly graduated boy Shwetaketu thinks he has learnt whatever was there to learn. But his father Uddalaka disagrees. He points out that whatever he studied in school was only worldly science. But there is more to it. And that ultimate knowledge is gained through spiritual science. He takes Shwetaketu systematically from worldly science to spiritual science, through the process of observation, experimentation and inference - the hallmarks of science. He arrives at the ultimate truth after knowing which "there is nothing else to know"!

These are some of the highly insightful stories from the 5000-year-old Indian Upanishads, part of Vedas. They not only provide you ways to attain those truths through experiential path but also expound them in the most scientific manner

For listening convenience, the original book containing these stories, namely "Mom! Who is my father?: Simple Upanishad stories that reveal profound truths" is divided into 4 parts, each corresponding to one chapter of the book. Each part describes a highly intriguing story, conveying deeply philosophical truths.

These parts are titled

1. Simple Upanishad stories that reveal profound truths - Story 1 : Mom! Who is my father?

2. Simple Upanishad stories that reveal profound truths - Story 2 : What happens when one dies?

3. Simple Upanishad stories that reveal profound truths - Story 3 : Do you love your family?

4. Simple Upanishad stories that reveal profound truths - Story 4 : Worldly science – Spiritual science

These parts are independent of each other and can be listened to in any order.

The book is also available as all 4 chapters combined into one book.

The present book discusses chapter 1 of this book.
