The Second Step

Svadhyaya / Self-Study

This monsoon, we will all self-study (svadhyaya) one of the most potent Upanishads — the Mandukya Upanishad.

Each week, Gurudev's commentary (Karika) on the Mandukya Upanishad will be shared with the Sadhaks for self-study, reflection, and contemplation.

"Self-study (svadhyaya) of the scriptures is a potent sadhana for the purification of the mind — the chitta. And it is only through this purification that the doors of deeper sadhana open for a sadhak."

— Gurudev Sri Anish
