 ======================================================================= ======================================================================= MANDUKYA UPANISHAD MANTRAS-12. “It HOPS Like a FROG” ========================================================================= Thursday, October 27, 2022. 07:00. 1.Introduction : ========================================================================= A PECULIAR CHARACTERISTIC of this Upanishad is that its thought “hops about”  rather abruptly between the four Quarters around which the theme is centred. The  Quarters are like the four corners of a room in which a frog is trapped. The frog goes on  hopping from one corner to the next. That is what this Upanishad does. It is why it gets its  name – ‘Mandukya’ (pronounced ‘Maandookya’) means “like a frog”. Another reason for the appropriate name is that frogs keep silent and reserved for  nearly nine months of the year, and then when the rainy season appears, they su...
