Amritabindu Upanishad

A Drop of Nectar from the Ocean of Self-Knowledge

Amritabindu Upanishad by Santonu Kumar Dhar

“The mind is the cause of both bondage and liberation.”
With this profound assertion, the Amritabindu Upanishad distills the timeless wisdom of the Vedas into a concise and powerful message: true liberation lies within.
