Mandukya Upanisad - English | by Sankaracarya, Swami Gambhirananda/ Upanishad Book
Unlock the deepest mysteries of existence with the mandukya upanisad, a profound spiritual text that reveals the ultimate nature of reality and self-awareness.
About the Book:
The mandukya upanisad is one of the shortest yet most powerful upanishads, containing just 12 verses that encapsulate the essence of Advaita Vedanta. By breaking down life into four states—waking, dreaming, profound sleep, and Turiya, the transcendent condition of pure awareness—it investigates the nature of consciousness through the study of AUM (Om). Gambhirananda's translation and commentary on this book offer a perceptive and lucid understanding of the Upanishadic teachings, rendering them comprehensible to contemporary audiences. The non-dual character of the Self and ultimate liberation (Moksha) can be understood through this Hindu literature, which is considered one of the most sacred texts in Hindu philosophy.
