About The Book: The Mandukya Upanishad is a concise text that explores the nature of reality, focusing on the concept of the ultimate reality, Brahman, through the symbolism of the syllable AUM. Gaudāpada's Kārikās provide an extensive commentary, emphasizing the non-duality (Advaita) of existence and challenging conventional perceptions of the world. Gaudāpada argues that the world is an illusion (Māyā) and that the ultimate truth is the unchanging, eternal self. Shankara's Bhāshya further elaborates on this, reinforcing Advaita philosophy, asserting that all dualities and distinctions are ultimately unreal, and that realization of the self leads to liberation (Moksha).
