5) One who has studies little bhagavadgitha, One whos drunk one drop of Ganga river, who has worshiped Murari(Krishna) once, What mrithyu(death) will do to him?

6) body parts are degenerated. Head has become fruit, In mouth all teeth have fallen, such oldman holding walking stick trembles. But still desire has not left him.

1) Fool(dullard), leave thirst of money accumulation. In mind make to grow development(dsamriddhi,plenty,) and dispassion. By money which you get from your karma dsatisfy your mind.

Second panchakam:

MANISHA PANCHAKAM:

This is very hgh sthothra among hundreds of texts written by sri shankara.’manisha’ means openion,intension,intellect,firm knowledge

(decisive knowledge),viveka jnana .this is second panchaka among panchaka panchakam.

Shloka 1:

Summary:acharya sri Shankara once going to liberation giving piligrimage kasha kshethra taking ganga river bath daily,was doing darshan of vishvanatha

One day shankaracharya taking bath in ganga river and coming on the way sri kashivishvanatha was coming with parvathi as chandala dress wearer.following dogs that chandala came near shankara only.

Then shankara asked him to go away.for that chandala dress wearer paramashiva gave answer to shankaracharya like this.

All human bodies are muscleful anf impure only.

,,,,

Hey Brahmin,you are telling ‘go away ,go away’.you are telling to go away from your annaful(foodful) body to move away to my body.or by seinf sacchidananda form ,conscious form only atma to move away.tell me in detail.

If you are telling body to go away ,body of both are work of seven dhathus.If you say thma(self) to move away,both are athma only ,eternal pure form

Omnipresent.explain in detail and tell me.

,,,,

Shloka 2)(n individual self there is no differentiation of caste and colour:

summary:chandala dress wearer shankara tells shankaracharya like this.to Sun born in ganga river and to sum born in water pit of chandala street is there any difference?In gold pot and earthen pot the same sky exists. is there any difference?you only tell.in waveless sahajananda form(natural bliss) ,who is ocean of joy prathyagathma(individual self) hat is illusion of ‘he is chandala’’he is brahmana’?In pure and sacchidananda form prathyagathma no

Such differences exists.as a high dvija(Brahmin) do you don’t know?

Description:these are words told by shankara to shankaracharya like this:

Prathyagathma means adjunctless(nirupadhika) eternal pure conscious form ,liberated(nithya shuddha Buddha muktha)athma(self).In this athma no differences.to this athma only names like brahma,eshwara,purusha,truth,witness,god-these are all names.This athma is equal in all.not one athma to each one.If difference is seen in adjuncts(upadhies) ,there is no such differentiation in prathyagathma.because athma is only one.,but adjuncts are many.

This is example of sun and sky.sun seen in ganga river to sun in tank water of chandala’s house sun is same only.sky in golden vessel and earthen vessel this sky is same.like this athma is one only.

Like sky athma is eternally pure.this should be known.

,,,,,

Shloka 3: one who knows he is drik(viewer)s form(svarupa) is guru:

Summary:in three stages of awakenness,dream,deep sleep ,consciouful only which athma has filled up,which spirit for only from Hiranyagarbha to ant bodies is filling spilling,which spirit(chethana,chaithanya) is enlighting whole world,such conscious only athma is mtself .to whom this firm(decisive) knowledge exists , I am not these body excetra views(drishyas) whoknows by self experience ,if such person is even if chandala or Brahmin,such person is real guru..this is my manishe(openion)

Description:there is no rule that a guru should be Brahmin.guru has no rules caste,stage(ashrama), community path(pantha) ,traditions excetra no rules of any kind.enough if he knows brahma and has remained brahmanista(sincere to brahma).hoe should he know brahma?this is told in this sloka(stanza).

There are three stages called awakenness,dream, and sleep(deep sleep .though bthese three stages are changing,athma(self) as kutastha(firm,firm like base stone of iron smith)is enlighting all three stages.to him brahma is also name.this perabrahma only athma of gods,humans,demons,to animals insects and micro organisms (krimi) .sIn this athma thathva(principle) no differences at all.one who knows i am brahma byself experience surely is sadguru.even if he is chandala or Brahmin he is called guru.

,,,,,

Shloka (stanza)4 :one who knows ‘i am brahman’(aham Brahmasmi) is guru:

Summary:features of brahmanista( brahma sincere) sadguru is told here.”I am brahma only..all this world is complete brahma only.”who knows firmly like this is sadguru.it’s explanation:this all world is spirit(chethana,chaithanya) form only.but this world which is imagined by thrigunathmaka (three gunas of sathva,raja,thama) ignorance.all these is appearing only in me by imagination.one who has got knowledge that i am high eternal bliss form ,clean brahma only ,such oerson whether chandala or brahmana ,he only is sadguru .this is my openion(manishe).

Description:one who has brahmajnana only should be known as sadguru.such guru’s caste creed community ,colour stages are not important.by brahma knowledge(self knowledge) becomes sadguru.what is form of that brahmajnana?it is told here beautifully.

‘aham brahmasmi’,brahmaivedam brahma,’dvaitham sarvamapi avidyakalpithameva’(all dvaitha is imsgined by ignorance only).who knows like this firmly is called sadguru.this world is parabrahma only.I am also purnabrahma only.

This nanathva(multiplicity) form dvaitha is is done by ignorance only..all this world is born in me,exists imn me,gets destroyed in me only.-one who knows ias sadguru.sadguru means brahmavida(knower of brahma) brahmanista(sincerity to brahma) –it should be known.In sadguru there is no colour,stage(ashrama),caste,path(pantha) differentiation.this only is openion of sri shankara.

All name and form dvaitha world is imagined by ignorance.

,,,,

Shloka (stanza) 5:knowledge of brahma is only by sadguru advice;

Summary;this whole world is changing continuously .it is temporary(temporal).bur parabrahma is always unchanging and eternal(nithya).this secret should be known by advice of sadguru and should be understood by pure mind.sanchitha(accumulated),agami all punya(merit) and sinful karmas will get burnt by fire of brahmajnana (self knowledge) into ashes.

All these prarabdha karmas (karma which has started to give results).should be experienced with joy.one who knows like this brahmanista is sadguru.this is my manishe,means knowledge.

Description:this dvaitha world is always changing getting destroyed thing.this world is not permanent.,not true also.this should be known by pure mind only.advice of sadguru should be understood by listening (shravana)only.

To this world parabrahma is base(support),adhistana(basis,support,abode) and aspada(place).parabrahma is eternal,unchanging,prathyagathma(individual self) form of all.

Description:past and future punya(merit) and sins should be burnt into ashes by brahmajnana(self knowledge).to an athmajnani no punya(merit) nor sin.all punya and sins are is all due to adhyasa(false superimposition) only spiritually (paramartha,adhyathmika,transcendental)no these to athma.knowing this one who experiences all his prarabdhas naturally is real guru.to brahmajnani all karmas will get burnt.by view oof others prarabdha is there to brahmajnani.but by his own view all are parabrahma form only..thhis is openion of sri shankara.

By athmajnana all punyas(merits) and sins should be burnt.

,,,,

Shloka(stanza) 6: one who indulges in brahmanamda ocean himself is sadguru:

Summary:thiryak animals,humans,gods-excetra are which conscious only(chinmathra,pure consciousness) athma only grasp’myself’ ‘myself clearly ;mind,senses,body,sense objects though bthey are jadas(inert,achethana) by themselves ,enlighted light of which chaithanya (spirit) ;enlighted clods excetra things like concealed sun ,feeling that chaithanya (spirit) form only,which yogi is sadanandi(always happy) ,such athmajnani is sadguru.

This is my manishe(openion).

Description:individual self of all jivies(animals,man is also an animal in eyes of god)thma himself knowing as myself ,this valiant becomes’ guru’.thiryak creatures(low creatures),humans,demons,gods know which as ‘myself‘‘myself’

,that itself is parabrahma thathva(principle).this chaithanyathma (spiritual athma) only is called as ‘myself’.original form of myself is brahma.

Mind,senses,prana,body excetra all are achethana things(materials).any of these have no chaithanya(spirit,chethana).but all these appear as appearing as enlighting sense objects.for this brahma is only cause.by light of athma chaithanya only body excetra are doing their work.

But this athmachaithanya(spirit) body excetra adjuncts are closed by trouble of upadhies(adjuncts).clouds which are enlighted by sun light will cover sun only for some time.but enlighting like sun that conscious only form (chinmathra svarupa) athma himself is myself .sadananda(always joyful) form

Athma himself is myself,one who knows as sadananda svarupais ‘guru’.this is shankara’s openion.

Athma is equal in all animals.this we should know.this is openion of shankara.

,,,,

Shloka 7) In front of brahmananda Indrananda is momentary only.

Summary:which brahmananda(brahmajoy) part of part (fraction of fraction),these devendra excetras are are happt,in mind in which all imaginations have melted,having which brahmananda ,brahma sincere(sincerity to brahma)muni is happy ,in which eternal ananda(bliss) ocean making mind to melt brahmanista(brahma sincere),not merely remaining as brahma knower(brahmavida) ,has becomr brahma only ,who is such form (svarupa) only who ever he may be ,such person will be having feet worshipped by(thanked by) devendra also.-this is my openion.

Description:here brahmananda is ocean,divine joys of devendra excetra are piece drops is told here.In epics and histories hiranyagarbha,vishu, maheshwara and devendras joys are expanded to all of them name is divine bhoga sukha(divine enjoyment joy).all these divine seas areone drop in braghmananda sagara(ocean),like a drop one should know.

Brahmanista(one who is sincere to brahma),making his mind mindless(amanassu),in brahma form only, experiences brahmananda(brahma bliss).In brahmananda no thriputies(three differentiations) of anandi,anandya,ananda(enjoyer,enjoyable,enjoyment)uch brahmananda form brahmanista can’t be called ‘brahmavith’.what it means is he will be brahma only.such person even hari hara brahma excetras ,Indra excetra gods will worship,thank,do sthothra(praise).because he is athma of all gods..this is my firm openion.

A viveki do trial of attaining liberation bliss only.

3) panchakam:advaitha PANCHARATHNAM(ATHMA PANCHAKAM)

(SHIVOHAM PANCHARATHNAM):

Summary of all upanishaths itself is advaitha siddhantha.after five shlokas at the end in last shloka athma’s natural form is informed.to this there is name called”ekashloki vedantha”.

Shloka(stanza) 1:

Summary:I am not this body.I an not senses also.I am not mind(anthahkarana,internal sense ),I am not ego(aham),I am not group of pranas,I am not intellect,wife,children,land,money-I am away from them.I am witness,eternal,prathyagathma(individual self),eternal mangala form.

Description:

a liberation desirer(mumukshu) should be always contemplating on his real form.

1)I am not this body:this first lesson in vedantha.how ever much beautiful may be body,how ever much healthy,as it is work of ffive great elements,this is not myself. This one should know.In same way senses,mind,chittha,intellect ego pranas excetras are not myself -thhis a achiever should know.

2)wife,son,house,mata(mutt),land,property ,car,bunglow –these are not related to me.When I am not this body I have no relation of wife and sons.If body is mine wife is mine.,son ia mine,house is mine it becomes?I am not these ,not mine also.then who am I?

3)all witness,eternal,sacchidananda svarupa(form) athma I am.I am complete parabrahma form.

Adjunctless (upadhirahitha) athma only I am- should be known.

As snake.’i am brahma only’as this knowledge is not there jiva feel is appearing.

,,,,

2)by ignorance only jivathva(jivaship) Illusion:

Summary:as there is no knowledge that“this is rope’rope itself is appearing.

In same way as’I am brahma’ is not there jiva feel appears.sby words of father when illusion of snake disappears ,it appears as rope only..by advice of sadguru we will come to know that I am not jiva but brahma(shiva) only.

Description:each man is really parabahma form only.but due to ignorance this secret is not known to him.by advice of sadguru jivatha(jivaship) illusion is removed true secret that ‘I am brahma’ only easily comes to experience.to that rope and servent example is given.

While going in blur dark a man told snaka snake with fear.he was afraid of that snake.nobody tried to make an ebquiry by going near.therefore snake was there.one bold viveki went near and saw there was no snake but only rope.then suddenly that serpent illusion disappeared.he came to know that is not snake but rope only.

Like this jiva feel is also appearing to us due to ignorance.by teachings brahmanista sadguru when ignorance is removed,aham na jjivaha,kim thuu brahmauvasmi this fixed knowledge is produced.what is true is each jiva really sacchidananda form parabrahma only.

By listening advice of sadguru one should posses brahmajnana(self knowledge).

,,,,,,,

Shloka(stanza)3:world is appearing in athma only.

Summary:though dream is appearing in sleep that is false only.not truth.is it not?In same way in sacchidananda athma ,this untrue world is seen by ignorance.but it is not true.myself who is athma form is pure,total,eternal,

Mangala form

Description;by example of dream this world is abhasa(false superimposition) only.this is not spiritual (paramartha,transcendental) truth.sthis is told hhere.dream is in experience of all.In dream hundreds of things appear.In dream those things appear as true at that time.to that time that only is awakenness.but after awakenness we will they are all false..yes,this is experience of all of us

Like this in this awakenness to us dvaitha world appears as though to be true.

But this is notparamartha(spiritual).athma is sacchidananda form.not knowing this only in athma universe is seen.as it is appearing by fascination only false only.If enquired and seen properly this secret is seen by achievers(saadhakas).

If really seen this world is false only.

Athma is pure,total,eternal,one only.to me no differentiation in this spiritual form.I am always shiva form oly..I am mangala form only.-like this who knows by Viveka only is called ththvajnani.

I am Sacchidananda form athma only.this should be know.s

,,,,,,,,,

Shloka 4:Advithiya athma (non dual) only is paramartha.

Summary:leaving me,there is no other world different from me.except me appearing noutside this universe is seen by mere maya only.like things appearing in big mirror ,appearing in me this universe also abhasa(illusion) only.I am advaitha form(svarupa) ,sacchidnanda form athma only.

Description:to ignorents like this name and form this dual world(dvaitha) appears different from us?myself and world everybody knows.apart from himself outside different from him made up of fiveelements world,sun-moon planets excetras man is seing.this is not correct.by ignorance only that means by maya only difference like this is seen.tthis is not paramartha(spiritual,transcendental).there are no two things called myself and world.athma only ignorents have understood as world by illusion.this world is abhasa (illusion) only.leaving athma ,different from him ,truely there is no world.

To this example of mirror:In big mirror elephants,tigers,lionshills,rivers and seas,humans,sun and moon –all appear.true,but they are leaving mirror,different from mirror are not seen.is it not?they are only reflections

(images) appearing in mirror.like this only world is seen in athma only.I am shivasvarupa(form) athma only.

Without attachment of dvaitha world I am athma only .this should be known.

Shloka 5:athma has no birth and death.

I have no doership enjoyership ,joys and sorrows,and dharma and adharmas(religions and non religions).because these are all dharmas of ego(aham) only.five elements are work of nature.,work of these themselves are bodies and minds.none of these are athma. Ego and mind who is enlighting changelessly (nirvikara) to me , no dharmas of non athma things.by ignorance only ignorents have imposed(aropane) dharmas of bodies excetra in athma(self). In athma there is no relation of anathema even a little.pure athma is sacchidananda form only.one who knows such sacchidananda athma is myself .who knows like this is viveki(power of descrition of right and wrong ,good and bad.)

All changeless athma itself is myself.this is to be known.

Shloka 6:Athma has no bondage and liberation:

Summary:when i am not body from where will come birth or death?

If I am not prana how can there be to me hunger and thirst?when I am not chittha from where sorrow nd fascination come to me?when I am not ahankara(ego) ,from where can come bondage or liberation? How?will they come?.I have no bondage and liberation.

Description:when I am not body excetra,after knowing this truth thathva(principle) properly I have no their dharmas is understood.

Body is made up of five elements(panchabhuthas).body is made up of stool and urine.body is made out of seven dhathus.(.........?)body is jada or achethana.related to such body I have know births and deaths.

Prana also is undergoing changes every moment.changes of prana I am enlighting kutastha nithya(eternal firm,firm like base stone of Iron smith).therefore I am not prana also..I have no hunger and thirst’s also.

I am not chittha also.because chittha is matter(view) to me.I am witness form who is enlighting changes of fickle mind.therefore I have no sorrow and fascination which are religion(dharma) of chittha.

I am not ahankara(ego) also.because this ahankara is also matter(view) to me.therefore I have no bondage and liberation which are dharma of ahankara(ego).this an athmjnani knows.hunger,thirst,birth and death ,sorrow and fascination are called shadurmies.

I have no relation of shadurmies.this should be known.

Panchaka 4:MAYA PANCHAKAM:

I n vedantha maya ia a wonderful power imagined byignorence.but wonderful power which has made all to fall into sorrow ocean is mayas without leaving anybody ,having all creatures under it’s control,indescribable power itself is maya.this is under control of god.because god meana mahamayavi(great magician).by grace of god only this ,by brahmajnana only this strong maya can be crossed,no other way.one who crosses maya himself is jivanmuktha(liberated while living).”aghatithaghatana patiyasi maya” means this maya can do aghatitha ghatanas(unhappenable happenings) this is 4^th panchaka in maya panchakam.

Shloka 1:

Summary:incomparable,eternal,partless(fractionless),whole(akhanda),all changeless(vikalpa shunya), conscious only(chinmathra),parabrahma form,in me also this maya has produced differentiation of world,eshwara,jiva;abba,maya is capable in making non happenable happenings! Abba!is not this?maya’s amazing powers,capacities.?

Descriptions:maya has amazing power.this maya can do what is aghatitha ghatana also.(unhappenable happenings ).maya power is beyond guess.because athma is eternal pure,eternal conscious,eternal liberated form.

In athma there is no dvaitha(dual). Athma(self) has no relation of body excetra adjuncts(upadhies).athma is partless, upadhiless(adjunctless,nirupadhika).athma is kevala and non dual(advitheeya).

To such athma no relation of sorrow and trouble of anarthas(meaningless).this athma’s paramartha svarupa(spiritual form,transcendental form),real form.

But what is wonder is :In such athma this maya has produced family bondages.!to athma putting gum of karmas,to him has created flood of birth and death only!abba!what a wonder!In non dual9advithiya) athma it has produced differentiation of jiva,world,eshwara!smaking very much untruth,very much false showing dvaitha (dual)world as true,maya has pushed this athma in ocean of joys and sorrows!what a play of maya is?In athma there is no differentiation of jiva,world,eshwara.but this differentiation maya is showing.

Athma is total (complete)form.this should be known.

,,,,,

Shloka(stanza) 2:even scholars are under control of maya:

Summary:scholars means those having amazing v intellectual abilities.sthey are such who have studied hundreds of shruthies and scriptures deeply great intellects(medhavies).such people also this maya has done animals by desire of money!even scholars also has adultrated(uncleaned) like ordinary animals.! Abba!maya is an amazing power which can do what ever!

Description:In this world there are hundreds of ,thousands of critics,researchers,great intellects scholars are there .these are not ordinary people.they are extraordinary.to their scholarship ,lectures, whole world gets wondered.they are such great scholars.

!these are wondergful nintellects who have digested veda,vedantha,scriptures,smrithi,history,have written hundreds of books .to such people whole world gives respect.,appreciates)praises)!

True,all these are true.! but in front of maya their scholarship,intellectual power,research,intellectual ability –are all waste.sbecause to such scholars also making illusion of female,gold,soil maya makes them like dog,donkey,horse,cow,pig.Inside there is lot of scholarship.true. but such people also for sake of money,female,and house property excetra maya has made them to experience condition of dog!abba!like this maya power is able to do unhappenable happenings!

Even full intelligents will be caught in maya net.

,,,,,

Shloka (stanza)3:maya has as though covered parabrahma also

Summary:joy form(bliss form) ,consccious only(chinmathra)whole(partless),consciousness forn brahma sky,air,excetra formed by five elements(panchabhuthas),binding in this body ;as though illusing in family ocean always, maya has done.abba!maya power is aghatitha ghatana ghatiyasi(makes non happenables to happen).is it not?

Description:maya has made parabrahma to enter into body,suffering in jiva form.how means:upanishath has informed SATHYAm JNANAM ANANTHAM BRAHMA ;vijnanamanandam brahma-excetra.to this parabrahma there is no no relation of family.is it not?because parabrahma is ababda(bliss),whole(akhanda),conscious only(chinmathra), non dual(advitheeya),non family holder(asamsasari),omniscient(sarvajna),omni potent(sarva shaktha),athma of all(sarvathma),independent,omnipresent(sarvavyaptha),unattached(niranjana),adjunct;ess( nirupadhika) non special(nirvishesha)-like this smrithi and shruthies are announcing.this paramathma(god,universal self) also.

But ,such parabrahma also making to reside in body of five elements,like suffering,to become sorrowful,maya has done.thath sristva thadeva anupravishath;god has created this body and he himself has entered in it.shruthi tells like this!Independent parabrahma without keeping quiet ,withoyt happy by itself ,why this body is created?then why did he entered body.beacuse of maya. Maya can do anything!be cautious!

Maya can be won only by viveka.

,,,,,

Shloka (stanza) 4:all varnashrama excetra differentiations are by maya only.

Summary:no differentiation of charectersmcolour,caste excetrabliss conscious only,athma mata has produced self pride(abhimanas) like brahmana,kshathriya ,shudra..to non family holder (asamsari)athmawife, in house mutt,has produced fascination of mine. Maya has produced. Abba!maya produces aghatitha also.

Description:athma(self) means prathyagathma.(individual self),athma is beyond thrigunas. To such athma maya has produced reation of thrigunas called sathva,rajas,thama.;what a wonder?athma has no varnas.I athma there is no varnas like brahmana,kshathriya,vyshya,shudra.but maya has done to know four varnas like brahmana,kshathriya,vyshya,shudra.;abba!what a wonder?brahmcharyadi(celibacy excetra) asramas are also not there in athma.but I am brahmachari(celibent),house holder,vanaprastha,sanyasi( hermit) these ashramas differentiation in athma are only due to maya.

Athma means pure form.In him there are no colours like black and white.when there is no body to him from where colours will come?I body made up of five elements and seven dhathus ,binding athma,the charecters of dirty body are made to attach to athma,this maya!abba!this maya has produced in son,wife,house,vehicles fascination of ‘myself’ this maya has produced.there fore maya will do what should not be done also.this wonderful maya.what is not to happen this maya will make to happen .abba!what a wonder! Be cautious in matter of maya!

By contemplation of brahma svarupa(form) only maya should be crossed.

,,,,,

Shloka(stanza) 5)difference of hari and hara is also due to maya only:

Summary:In whole complete parabrahma,hari,hara,brahma difference this maya has produced!In hari hara maya has made to imagine even in scholars.

Description:even hari hara brahmas are also parabrahma forn only.In parabrahma there are no any differences really.we should not forget that maya has produced that hari,hara,brahma excetra differentiation,this maya has made to imagine.

Vaishnav’a tell hari is great,shaiva’s tell hara is great. Maya has mde to do argument .In shiva,Vishnu,ambika,Ganapathi,sun(surya)in this paramathma only nmaya has made to show differentiation.among these five gods low and high feelings also maya only has produced.If some argue ganapathi is high ,some argue sun only is high.In panchayathana worship system this differencr we see?by this hatred will be produced between one and other.cause of all these is maya.making to imagine non existing differences in brahma later produces hatred towards one another this maya only.power of maya is amazing!

In parabrahma there is no difference among hari hara brahma.this should be known.

7)adhyathmic achievers should listen to vedantha sentences daily through sadgurus.shravana,(listening), manana(recapitulation),nididhyasana are direct means to athmajnana(selfknowledge,brahmajnana).by athmajnana only ignorance (ajnana,avidya) is removed.brahmathmajnana attainment itself is goal of all means(achievements,practices).this should remembered.

Mumukshus should be participating in sathsanga(company of truth).

,,,,,

2)Meaning of vedanthic sentences should be enquired:

Descriptin: In this shloka(stanza) eight steps are told:

1)meaning of vedantha sentences should be enquired well and understood.

2)party (paksha,side) of vedantha sentences which are summary of Vedas should be understood.mumukshus(liberation desirers) leaving siddhanthas of logicians(tharkikas) and atheists (naasthikas) vedantha doctrine only should be understood with sincirity and concentration.

5)prarabdha(karma which has already started to give fruit) fruits of this body should be experienced with joy which has come now.

6)after all these,next in parabrahma form,remaining as brahmanista(sincere to brahma) should be blissful.this itself is jivanmukthi.,this is sadyomukthi also(liberation at the time of knowledge only(immideate liberation).
