| Feb 23, 2016 at 15:56 | comment | added | Surya | @Keshav Lol, ''this'' refers to Vamadeva saying, "I am Manu, I am Surya." I specifically remember that dialogue. | |
| Feb 23, 2016 at 11:40 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @Surya When you said Karunakaracharya said "this", what did he say? | |
| Feb 23, 2016 at 5:48 | comment | added | Surya | I think Karunakarachariar said this in one if his discourses - but it's likely that it was removed from YouTube due to copyright. | |

| Jan 5, 2015 at 8:04 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @SwamiVishwananda I'm not denying that the wisdom that Yajnavalkya is imparting in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad comes from a disciplic succession originating with Vishnu himself. But that doesn't mean that the exact words of the Upanishads are words that Vishnu told to Brahma. There's a difference between the Upanishads, where rishis give answers to students' questions based on wisdom that originally comes from a divine source, and the actual Samhitas of the Vedas, which arose by rishis hearing mantras from a divine source directly by means of Tapasya. But certainly both deserve our reverence. | |
| Jan 4, 2015 at 6:16 | comment | added | Swami Vishwananda | @KeshavSrinivasan also another reference as to this Upanishad being the revealed word of God and not composed by Yajnavalka is Brihadaranyaka II. vi. 1-3. and IV. vi. 1-3. Clearly states this. | |

| Dec 23, 2014 at 1:39 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @Sai The reason that I'm asking this question is that if I were to read these verses without referring to the Upanishads, I would assume that the speakers were Indra and Chandra. But these two Upanishads were composed by the wise sages Yajnavalkya and Aitareya, so it's vanishingly unlikely that they're wrong. So I'm hoping to be persuaded that their interpretation of the verses makes more sense than mine. | |
| Dec 23, 2014 at 1:32 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @Sai I want to know whether anyone has made any arguments for why it must be Vamadeva rather than Indra and Chandra. It would be nice if there were some ancient writer who refuted sage Shaunaka's claim that the verses in Hymn 26 are Indra's atmastuti. Or failing that, I'd even be fine with a modern writer who refuted the claims of Western Indologists that the speakers are Indra and Chandra. I'm just trying to find some defense of the Upanishads' interpretation. | |
| Dec 22, 2014 at 23:18 | comment | added | Sai | keshav are you asking 'why' they are interpreting it that way? or 'why' not the other 2 way? or any other scriptures which also identify it as Vamadeva? It would help look for an answer if it is clearer what exactly are you looking for as an answer? Thanks | |

| Dec 20, 2014 at 9:09 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @SwamiVishwananda It's Brihadaranyaka Upanishad Adhyaya 1, Brahmana 4, Verse 10. (It's the verse that contains the famous Mahavakya "Aham Brahmasmi.") As for the Aitareya Upanishad quote, it is Aranyaka 2, Khanda 1, Verse 5 (or verses 13-15 if you go by the Aranyaka's traditional verse numbering). | |
| Dec 20, 2014 at 8:31 | comment | added | Swami Vishwananda | What are the chapter and verse numbers of the B and A Upansihads you are quoting? | |
