Mandukya Upanishad Immersion
Swamini Atmaprakashananda Saraswati
Sunday-Friday 8:00-10:00am ET
Course Description:
Of all the Upanishads (sacred Sanskrit texts of Vedanta), the Mandukya Upanishad is the shortest — consisting of just 12 mantras.
However, it is considered the most direct and the most powerful Upanishad.
The Mandukya Karika, composed by Gaudapada Acharya 1,500 years ago, is regarded as the highest text of nondual Vedanta.
Its goal is nothing short of transcendence of sorrow and the attainment of unshakeable serenity by the direct intuition of your own nondual nature.
