What if the secret to the entire universe—your universe—was hidden in just twelve verses? Not a hundred, not even twenty. Just twelve. This is the Mandukya Upanishad, the shortest and most mysterious of the ancient texts, yet the one that dares to say it holds the key to everything. In this immersive six-hour workshop, Swami Sarvapriyananda guides you through six profound lectures that peel back the layers of waking, dreaming, and deep sleep—only to reveal what lies beyond them all. He doesn’t just teach it; he lives it. And when the lectures end, the silence begins—not empty silence, but the living silence of sacred chanting, as the Mandukya Upanishad is spoken aloud in its original form. It’s not just something you hear. It’s something that starts to hear you. So here’s the question: can twelve ancient verses really wake you up from the dream you call your life?
