Pancadashi Chapter 5 – Mahavakya-viveka-prakarana – Understanding the Great Saying (Video Pen drive)

Pancadashi, the famous composition of Sri Bharati Tirtha and Svami Vidyaranya, is a compendium of 15 Foundational Texts or prakarana-granthas. This epic text is a singular treatise on the philosophical teachings of Advaita-vedanta, composed with an intention to dispel the ignorance of seekers by bringing to them an overall and complete grasp of the essentials of Vedanta. Truly, any study of Advaita-vedanta is incomplete without a thorough study of Pancadashi.

The fifth chapter titled Mahavakya-viveka-prakarana, describes the four mahavakyas: “prajnanam brahma,” “aham brahmasmi,” “tat tvam asi,” and “ayam atma brahma.”
