Today's verse

19 October 2026

श्वेतकेतुर् हारुणेय आस । तं ह पितोवाच श्वेतकेतो वस ब्रह्मचर्यम् । न वै सोम्यास्मत् कुलीनो ऽननूच्य ब्रह्मबन्धुर् इव भवतीति

Harih, Om. There lived once Svetaketu Âruneya (the grandson of Aruna). To him his father (Uddâlaka, the son of Aruna) said: Svetaketu, go to school; for there is none belonging to our race, darling, who, not having studied (the Veda), is, as it were, a Brâhmana by birth only.'

Chāndogya Upaniṣad 6.1.1, translated by F. Max Müller
