Pañcadaśī Chapter 1 – Tattva Viveka with Swami Sakshatkrtananda
Pañcadaśī is a great text written by Swami Vidyaranya, one of the greatest ācāryas of the Vedānta tradition and one of the Pontiffs of Sringeri Math (1377-1386 AD). It has 15 chapters, and the first chapter is an enquiry into tattva, the truth of life. This masterful text provides an unparalleled analysis of the nature of the self as pure consciousness, the nature of ignorance and its effects, the underlying logic of the śruti, and the stages in assimilating self-knowledge.
Bhagavad Gita 9.34 with Swami Muktatmananda
This verse is essentially Krishna’s concise instruction on how to orient one’s whole life toward God.
“May you become one whose mind is committed to Me,
who is devoted to Me, who offers rituals unto Me and
may you surrender to Me. Having yourself prepared in
this way and being one for whom I am the ultimate end,
you will reach Me, the self alone.”
