The text has been explained in English in the book ‘Sri Padukasahasram of Sri Vedanta Desika by D Ramaswami Iyengar, which has been published by the Kuppuswami Sastri Research Institute.

Manisha Panchakam

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

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.

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

Brahma Sutras, Vedanta Sutras, or Shariraka Sutras are a collection of 555 sutras arranged into four chapters that form part of the Nyaya Prasthana part of Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma, to be studied, traditionally, after having studying the Bhagavadgita, Smriti Prasthana, and the Upanishads, Shruti Prasthanas. The sutras, aphorisms of the Brahma Sutras analyse different Upanishadic statement to understand their true import. The aim of the Brahma Sutras is to remove the ignorance that clouds one’s true nature and realise the ultimate reality, Brahman. The Brahma Sutras have been authored by Badarayana Vyasa, traditionally considered to be the same person who classified the Vedas, wrote the Puranas, the Mahabharata, and the Bhagavata. In this series of lectures, Swami Narasimhananda, explains the Adhyasa Bhashya, Adi Shankaracharya’s introduction to his commentary on it with emphasis on their relevance in the present-day.
