Dear Ones,
Majority of the seekers are not aware of what is Brahma Vidya. What is Brahma Vidya? there is no consensus. Visit ..
http://ramanuja.org/sri/Web/BrahmaVidya
Brahma Vidya means … 32 vidyas or 32 meditations… Those Masters who were well versed with these 32 meditations or Vidyas and understood the essence of Brahman clearly alone will be called as God Realized One otherwise not.
Brahma Vidya
A Brahma Vidya is a path of contemplative meditation taught in the principal Upanishads. The passage of time has largely obscured the nature and culture of these meditations, and subsequent discussions of them are largely academic, drawing on the texts and their subsequent treatment in the Brahma Sutras. Scholars eventually identified the extant meditations as 32, though there is debate over the exact Upanishadic text serving as the basis for some of them.
The said Upanishads are
Chandogya Upanishad, Brhadaaranyaka Upanishad, Taittiriya Upanishad, Anandavalli, Katha Upanishad, Kaushitaki Upanishad, Mundaka Upanishad
