The Concept of God in Hinduism by Swami
Krishnanada
1. The Chhandogya Upanishad says that this entire Universe is Brahman Manifest in all its states of manifestation. It regards objects as real aspects of the one Subject known as the Vaishvanara-Atman. It also holds that the Supreme Being is the Infinite, or Bhuma, in which one sees nothing else, hears nothing else and understands nothing else except the Self as the only, existence.
‘The Principal Upanishads’
by Subhamoy
Das
The Chandogya Upanishad is the Upanishad that belongs to the
followers of the Sama Veda. It is actually the last eight chapters of the
ten-chapter Chandogya Brahmana, and it emphasizes the importance of chanting
the sacred Aum and recommends a religious life, which constitutes sacrifice,
austerity, charity, and the study of the Vedas while living in the house of a
guru. This Upanishad contains the doctrine of reincarnation as an ethical
consequence of karma. It also lists and explains the value of human attributes
like speech, will be thought, meditation, understanding, strength, memory, and
hope.
