  • Mandukya Karika : Part - 13 : Liberation, Nondoing, Bliss

  • Mandukya Karika : Part - 12 : Unborn, Incomprehensibility, Mind
    What is born and what is unborn? Can something be born out of unborn? Atman is incomprehensible (as an object), does that make it unreal? What is mind, and what is it actually doing? Why do we need it?

  • Mandukya Karika : Part - 11 : Pots, Spaces, Suffering and Reincarnation
    Chapter 3 undertakes the task of establishing non-duality by reason alone. Atman is like Ether, empty space. Is it multiple? Does it become many in the form of many individuals? Does Atman suffer or becomes happy? Will it die and reincarnate? Gaudapada clears up such questions and many beliefs.

  • Mandukya Karika : Part - 9 : Duality in Nonduality
    All other streams of philosophies can be merged in one as subsets or partial views of reality. The nondual is not separate from dual. It is just that, that which is dual is merely an appearance. Nondual is the substratum on which all duality appears in various illusory forms. Reading and discussion on the English translation of the Mandukya Karika by Gaudapada, which is a commentary on the Mandukya Upanishad.

  • Empowerment
    Why does this world appear imperfect and why do we feel a need to improve it? Is there such a need? Who can fix it? Who is empowered to make a change here? What is the nature of such empowerment? Let us try to peel this very complex onion of Maya and the appearance of empowerment.

  • Live : Mandukya Karika : Part -8 : Imagination and Refutation
    Gaudapada gives us the reason behind accumulation of ignorance and then declares all other philosophies as merely imaginations, delusions born out of the ignorance of the true nature of reality. Reading and discussion on the English translation of the Mandukya Karika by Gaudapada, which is a commentary on the Mandukya Upanishad.
