About the Book

Gaudapada, having touched the highest peaks of realization, saw that the ultimate Reality can neither be born nor die, and with the support of the Principle-Naryana was able to reveal for the first time to human beings the Teaching already present in the Sruti: Ajativada, the doctrine of "non-generation", and the Asparsayoga, the yoga of "no-support "or "no-relation". In order to enounce the Ajativada and the Asparsayoga Gaudapda chose to comment the Mandukya Upanisad. This Upanisad deals with the three states of Being (Virat, Hiranyagarbha, Isvara) and the Fourth state (Turiya) which represents the absolute Reality. Because of its doctrine and philosophy, it is the most meaningful and profound Upanisad of the Advaita Vedanta and represents by itself the very foundation of metaphysical realization. The Mukti Upanisad says: "If the goal is the attainment of the supreme Truth, the Mandukya Upanisad is altogether sufficient".Gaudapda divided his commentary (karika) into four chapters. He states that there is an unchangeable Reality, eternal, in act, with no generation and extinction, free of cause-effect and time-space, devoid of contradiction, One-without-a-second. And, as Reality is constant and perfect Unity, all differentiation, multiplicity, impermanence and change cannot be the supreme Reality but only appearance, representation, which acquires reality only when viewed from the standpoint of "opinion"."The supreme truth is this: there is neither birth nor dissolution, nor aspirant to liberation nor liberated nor anyone in bondage". (Mandukyakarika, II, 32).RAPHAEL is an author and a teacher in the western Metaphysical Tradition as well as in the Vedanta. He has written several books on the pathway of non-duality (Advaita). He has also translated and commented a number of key vedantic texts from the original sanskrit. His entire work represents a conscious reunification of Western and Eastern Traditions in the One Tradition of Metaphysics.After more than 60 years of teaching, both oral and written, Raphael has withdrawn into mahasamadhi.Truth
