The Amritabindu Upanishad (Sanskrit:अमृतबिन्दु उपनिषद्) is one of the minor Upanishads of Hinduism.[2] It is one of the five Bindu Upanishads, attached to the Atharvaveda,[3] and one of twenty Yoga Upanishads in the four Vedas.[4][5]
The text is notable for condemning "bookish learning" and emphasizing practice, as well as for presenting a six limbed Yoga system which match five stages of the eight stage Patanjali's Yogasutras and offering a unique, different sixth stage.[6]
The Amṛitabindu is listed at number 20 in the serial order of the Muktika enumerated by Rama to Hanuman in the modern era anthology of 108 Upanishads.[7] The text sometimes appears under the title Brahmabindu Upanishad or Amritanada Upanishad, in some anthologies.[6][8] It shares over 20 Vedanta-philosophy related verses with Amritanada Upanishad in compilations where these two texts are separated into independent Upanishads.[8]
