Our scriptures define Maya in many words and stories, using parables and analogies. This world is just an appearance. It is a seeming projection. Even though most of us have heard it and commonly use the word MAYA, we do not really know what it is and thus overcoming it is out of the question. This book attempts to throw light on this subtle reality in carefully chosen words that are easily understood, and perhaps point a way for the serious seeker who is struggling to escape its clutches.What is Maya???1.    It is neither Truth 2.    Nor is it unTruth3.    And it is neither bothPonder...ponder…ponder… Let us read between the lines to arrive at: 1.    Maya is not Truth – replace Truth with its synonym Existence. This sentence becomes Maya <> TruthMaya <> Existence

Bhakti is a very special attitude. It is a rare kind of lifestyle. It requires tremendous guts, large-heartedness and purity of vision. Narada was an adventurer from long ago, who exemplified the qualities of a Bhakta.We have heard the famous quote – Beauty lies in the eyes of the Beholder. This is what Narada lived. To him each and every one was divine, so he extended his hand to the cruelest sinner and to the most benevolent king. He went out of his way to have a dialogue with serpents and goblins - braving harsh mountains and rough weathers - demons and despots, commoners, officers, soldiers, saints and children.Narada exuded such warmth and caring, he brought such innocence and spontaneity in his wake, that he not only infused his surroundings with vitality, but also imparted a measure of grace.This is the story of the values he lived, that an ancient sage penned down. It has come down to us as priceless nuggets evoking awe and inspiration. It has the charm of taking us on a journey to freedom.For the students of Sanskrit grammar, copious notes giving the case of each word have been clearly listed.

Time and Space is all we live by. Is there anything more?Most of us have experienced the Divine. That is definitely something more than space time. And what about the Thoughts? What are they? Certainly divine they are too. Guruji and Sudarshan Kriya, Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita all are Divine to culture the mind.

Mundaka Upanishad is from the Gopatha-Brahmana of the Atharva Veda. Whereas its Samhita portion survives in two recensions, after sages Paippalada and Shaunaka, the Brahmana portion available today is only of sage Gopatha.

Mundaka Upanishad gets its name from “a head shaved of all heavy botheration”. By the sincere study of this Upanishad, one’s mind resolves all troubles, difficulties seem trifles. It quenches the thirst of the sincere seeker and in beautiful verse satiates the heart of the ardent aspirant.

Mundaka is especially written for the man who is willing to rise above the crowd, whose performance in daily life is extraordinary, who is willing to work harder than his colleagues. It is for the soul who uses his talents to be creative and productive, and is at the same time thirsting for the Unknown.

na tatra sūryo bhāti na candratārakaṃ nemā vidyuto bhānti kuto'yamagniḥ । tameva bhāntamanubhāti sarvaṃ tasya bhāsā sarvamidaṃ vibhāti ॥ 2.2.10

2.2.10 There no sensory light reaches, that is fathomless, silent and still. There is no distinction there, no features of any sort even when examined under the blazing sun or the cool moonlight or even the farthest star. Purity is a seamless whole, that the light of intellect does not grasp, nor does lightening illumine. Then how could our small candle flames or fancy torches or puny ego reach there?

By Brahman is the functioning of men and machines,By it is governed the tempest and the breeze.All is made brilliant by its kindly light, all of us touch glory under its shade.Any victory or fame is due to its grace. Any win is its will.All powerhouses are powered by it, Man becomes a king or saint due to its kindness.

For the Sanskrit grammar enthusiast, each verse is given in original Devanagari with a Latin transliteration and Padacheda. Anvaya and Cases are listed for many verses.
