Question from Kishore:

Any one knows why Mandukya Upanishad is called so?

 

Neither Karika nor Sankara touches this aspect.

 

Chinmayananda in his commentary talks of this, though in a round

about way, explaining some philosophical meaning given by

a 'mahatma'he has met in a roadside dharma sala.

 

On the other hand, I think the Upanishad is attributed to

Varuna, who taught it in the form of a mandooka (toad)or the Sage

ManduKHa Any reply is much appreciated.

 

Swamiji's response :

 

I like to take it from the root MANDU, joyous, pleasing, agreeable.

The discussion of the various aspects of the Self is so pleasing, it

makes the listener joyous.
