This paper argues that the Rigveda, Mandukya Upanishad, and Patanjali's Yoga Sutra are interconnected in their teachings on realizing the supreme reality (Paramatma). The Mandukya Upanishad analyzes consciousness through waking, dream, and dreamless sleep states and uses the syllable AUM as a meditation symbol. The Yoga Sutra prescribes surrender to Ishvara through the sacred word Om. The authors propose that these texts together provide a practical guideline for spiritual seekers, drawing on Vedic philosophy, meditation, and yoga practice, and claim this interconnectivity has not been previously explored in detail.
