[Advaita-l] Does praNava upAsanA leads to brahmaloka?

[Sujal Upadhyay]

Thank you Sri Bhaskar Prabhuji,

Please can you know the opinion about mANDukya Upanishad (12 verses) in
simple words. It may help me understand praNava upAsanA better.

I will also wait for others to respond.

Kind Regards
Hari Om
