Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Namaste Braulio & Friends, So sorry for long absence. Been ensnared lately by the "reality" of samsara including the fisticuffs of leela and maya.....Lord Ganesha help me! I'm not sure about the original Vedic Sama Veda including the entire Chandogya Upanishads. You may well be absolutely correct about there being more than 108 Upanishads. There is a site somewhere called "Sacred Texts" where complete files can be downloaded. As friends may have noted for a while, my memory is bad at the worst of times. For a couple of months, I've been trying to sink my teeth into the Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam -- over 1000 pages and the head spins from the small print. If our friends here happen to know the answer to Braulio's question, please would you enlighten us? Thank you so much.
