AdvaitaPañcaRatnam (also known as ĀtmaPañcakam) is a short text attributed to Ādi Śaṅkarācārya that unfolds vision of Vedanta through the succinct presentation of several key teachings:
- Ātma-anātma-viveka – the discriminative discernment between the self and non-self
- Adhyāsa – the nature of ignorance-born self-confusion
- Śabda-pramāṇa – the necessity of gaining knowledge from a teacher and the efficacy of language to remove self-ignorance
- Mithyā – the dubious reality of the experienced world
- Māyā – the creative power that manifests the world of multiplicity
Each verse resolves with the contemplative assertion Śivo’ham – I am Śiva, the most auspicious.
Resident AVG ācārya Swami Muktatmananda will also be presenting a series of talks addressing “Meditation on the Meditator” during the retreat.
Attend in person at the Arsha Vidya Gurukulam in Saylorsburg PA or online.
