Talks on the Mandukya Upanishad, by Swami Narasimhananda, the editor of Prabuddha Bharata, at Advaita Ashrama, Mayavati, District Champawat, Uttarakhand, India, a branch centre of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission.
Month: December 2024
Manisha Panchakam is a set of five verses by Adi Shankaracharya in response to the two questions asked by a Chandala, whom he encountered on his way out of a bathing ghat in Varanasi. Shankaracharya, though the proponent of Advaita Vedanta, forgot the immanence of Brahman, and due to his cultural training, wanted the Chandala to move away from his way. When confronted with these questions, Shankaracharya understood his mistake and prostrated before the Chandala and replied in five excellent stanzas called Manisha Panchakam, considered to be the essence of Advaita Vedanta.

Onam Celebration
Onam is the grand annual festival of Kerala. It was on this day that the Vamana avatara or incarnation of Lord Vishnu visited King Mahabali, affectionately called ‘Maveli’ and gave him moksha or emancipation. According to the blessing of Lord Vishnu, every year King Mahabali visits his subjects in Kerala during the Onam festival, the main day of the festival being the day of Thiruvonam. On this occasion, elaborate flower decorations or flower rangolis are prepared. They are called ‘pookkalam’ in Malayalam. Though there were no grand celebrations in the ashrama due to the Covid-19 pandemic the pookalams were made by the employees and devotees.
