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. Talks on Manisha Panchakam 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.

How To Live A Purposeful Life

[vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” css=”.vc_custom_1595268070264{background-color: #303030 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]

“Let every man and woman and child, without respect of caste or birth, weakness or strength, hear and learn that behind the strong and the weak, behind the high and the low, behind every one, there is that Infinite Soul, assuring the infinite possibility and the infinite capacity of all to become great and good. Let us proclaim to every soul: Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached. Arise, awake! Awake from this hypnotism of weakness. None is really weak; the soul is infinite, omnipotent and omniscient. Stand up, assert yourself, proclaim the God within you, do not deny Him! De-hypnotise yourselves. The way to do that is found in your own sacred books. Teach yourselves, teach every one his real nature, call upon the sleeping soul and see how it awakens. Power will come, glory will come, goodness will come, purity will come and everything that is excellent will come when this sleeping soul is roused to self-conscious activity.” Swami Vivekananda
