Mandukya Upanishad is one of the principal Upanishads, and one of the most important texts of Advaita Vedanta. In its twelve verses, it pithily delivers an extremely scientific model of reality through the Sanskrit syllable AUM, revealing its depths and rich, multilayered meaning in the process.
The Upanishads are now more important than ever, but even more important is the guidance which helps you navigate through them. While the ancient scriptures may have endured the test of time, throughout the ages man has interpreted them for his own advantage, which has ultimately lead to corruption and delusion. A touch of purification is needed.
These commentaries with Acharya Prashant shed light to these verses and the mystical AUM, and provide the seeker with strong fundamentals of Vedantic understanding, and the correct utility of such knowledge in the contemporary context and everyday life.
