Guest guest Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Adi Sankara was an avatar of Lord Sivamahadeva. On the command of his guru, Sankara wrote commentaries on the Upanishads, the Bhagavadgita anAd the Brahmasutras of Badarayana. And also he wrote several minor works called the prakaranas. All these commentaries are simple and clear and pregnant with deep meaning. There are many hidden meanings that come out every time one reads them afresh. Each prakarana takes up one issue in the Sastras , analyses it threadbare and gives the final view in accordance with Sastras. Out of compassion for those who have neither the possibility not the capacity to study the huge and deep Vedantic literature, Sri Sankara has brought together its essence in more accessible works, such as the Advaitapancharatnam which is also called as Atmapanchakam. In a metre inspired from the Vedic tristup consisting of 4 lines of 11 syllables, the Acharya puts into words the pristine purity of Advaita, or non-dualism, with great authority and dignity. In order to show how distinguish the Self from the non-Self and how to attain the true nature of the Self, the Acharya discards all the false identification with the non-Self one after another, in accordance with the Vedantic negation saying, " Neti Neti " - " The Self is not thus,not thus. " Once negation is achieved the undeniable Self remains. Realisation that common ties do not pertain to the true Self paves path for liberation or Kaivalyam. I request you to listen to Advaita Pancharatnam / Atmapanchakam. http://www.archive.org/details/AdiSankarasAdvaitapancharatnamAtmapanchakam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
