About The Product

Panchadashi, the famous composition of Shri Bharati Tirtha and Swami 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 Panchadashi.

Deriving its name from the number of chapters in it, the Panchadashi is classified into three sections:

(1) The first five chapters termed Viveka-panchakam, deal with Existence or Sat, the discrimination of the real.

(2) The second five termed Dipa-panchakam, deal with Self as pure Consciousness or Cit.

(3) The last five termed Ananda-panchakam deal with the blissful nature of Brahman.

The five volumes of Panchadashi contain detailed lectures in English.
