One day #MahaPeriyava described #MandukyaUpanishad the one among the 108 Upanishads. The root of Mandukya is sometimes considered as Manduka in Sanskrit meaning frog. The version of many pundits is that since this Upanishad does not directly tell the meaning and it jumps here and

there and tells the meaning it is called as Manduga Upanishad but Mahaperiyava has a different view. The frog is in the habit of jumping from the first step to the fourth step. Having this in mind Sri Maha periyava says that the word Om is divided into four parts. Three parts are

in the form of sounds and one is without sound. The parts of sounds are A karam, Oo karam, M karam so A, Oo and M are together Om. The fourth position is ‘Thuriyam’. Atma is Brahma and is divided into four parts. When Atma is attached to physical body it is called as Vishvan. It

is the active form. When Atma is attached in subtle form it is called as Thaithachan. This is Atma's second part. The third stage is when Atma it's attached to our physical body then it is called as ‘Pragyan’ where it enjoys ignorance and happiness. This is the same third form.

Fourth stage of Atma is called as Thuriyam. It is attached to our knowledge and it is attached to a physical body. The three forms of Atma Vishwan, Thaithachan and Pragyan are unstable but Thuriyam form is stable. Shri Maha periyava says that when this Atma travels from first

form to the fourth form this is called as Mandugya Upanishad. Though this Upanishad has only 12 slokas yet it is very famous Upanishad. It is assigned to Atharvana Veda.
