Pujya
Swami Dayananda Saraswatiji gave a series of talks at Rishikesh, November 2011,
on Näțakadīpa
Prakaranam from Śri Vidyaranya's Vedanta Pañcadaśī. This book is the edited version of the transcription
of these talks. It is a long-awaited publication and the first such book of Pañcadasi.
We hope to follow through with more prakaranas from the same source. Śrī
Vidyāranya, a great scholar and teacher
of the Advaita Vedanta tradition, has presented the self by comparing it to a
lamp on the stage of a theatre, while the accompanying instruments represent
the buddhi and the sense organs. The individual, the jīva,
is equated to the prabhu, the organiser of the program. One cannot but
appreciate the imagery of the lamp as the sākși-caitanyam
which is oneself. In his unique way of unfolding the vision of Vedanta, Pujya
Swamiji directly plunges into the topic. To quote him. The tenth chapter of the
Pancadaši begins with a bombshell. If you teach the first nine chapters, you
can glide into the tenth. If not, if you start with the tenth, it opens with
the assumption that you know the vision of the whole śruti'.
Consequently, Pujya Swamiji introduces the topic by first selecting the fifth
verse and goes into great detail to make the understanding complete. Arsha
Vidya Research and Publication Trust is grateful for the help received from Ms.
Janani. Cleary and Swami Ramesvaranada Saraswati for the transcription of the
talks. I am very happy to note that AVR and PT continuously strives to bring
out more and more titles of international standard of Pujya Swamiji's teachings
under the able leadership of Smt. Sheela Balaji.
Nățakadīpa Prakaraņam from Vedanta Pañcadaśī of Śri
Vidyaranya is a prakaraņa text that presents the vision of the Upanişads. A
study of this text can help you gain clarity of the vision of Vedanta.
