Panchadasi is a classical text in the Advaita Vedanta tradition, attributed to the philosopher Vidyaranya. Comprising fifteen chapters, it explores the nature of reality, the self, and the ultimate goal of life, emphasizing the non-dualistic perspective that all is one. The text is structured to guide readers through various concepts, including Brahman (the ultimate reality), Maya (illusion), and the nature of the individual soul, or Atman. It serves as a practical manual for spiritual seekers, providing insights into meditation and self-realization, making it a significant work in Indian philosophy.
