The later part of the Vēdās contain the knowledge section known as the Upaniṣhads.
Prashna Upaniṣhad is one of the main 11 Upaniṣhads generally studied and comprises, as
usual, of a conversation between student and teacher. In this case, 6 students each ask a
series of questions grouped as six separate chapters. The questions are:

- How did life begin?
- What is a living being?
- What is the nature of a human being, and how is it so?
- What establishes human beings?
- What is meditation, and why meditate?
- What is that which is immortal?
 
This fascinating journey of discovery of the ancient teachings of the Vēdās will continue to unfold weekly online over a series of 1.5hr classes re-starting Wednesday 18 September at 7:30pm. Every class will be recorded with the video, audio and class transcript being made available so that students may revisit the class to increase their understanding. The 2nd block of 7 classes will cost £56.
