This is Upanishad Ganga, a visually captivating series that vividly depicts our Upanishads' age-old wisdom. Released in Hindi in Doordarshan in 2012 by the Chinmaya Mission, a spiritual and charitable organisation, the series is created by Chinmaya creations. "It (the series) is basically the teachings from scriptures and Upanishads. For us to read and understand them is not possible, so the writings are being presented in the form of a story," points out Vijayshree Raju, chief operating officer and a sevak at Chinmaya Mission.
