The sophisticated philosophical analysis of human consciousness into four distinct states including Vaishvanara, Taijasa, Prajna, and the ultimate transcendent state of Turiya is explicitly formulated in which Upanishad?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Mandukya Upanishad is celebrated for mapping the structural topology of the self or Om into four levels of awareness: Vaishvanara (the waking state), Taijasa (the dream state), Prajna (the deep dreamless sleep state), and Turiya (the absolute non-dual pure consciousness), representing a major peak in early Indian psychological analysis.
