This sacred hymn presents the loftiest, non-dual teachings of advaita Vedanta in delightful verses rich with powerful metaphors. Shankaracharya himself is portrayed in this video, reciting his own work.
vishwam darpana drishyamana nagari, they hymn begins, describing how the world projected by God, by Ishwara, like a city seen in a mirror. This profound hymn explores some of the sophisticated concepts of advaita vedanta, such as adhyasa, superimposition, abhimana, identification, ajnana, ignorance, avarana shakti, veiling power, vikshepa shakti, projecting power, pratibimba vada, doctrine of projection, and avaccheda vada, doctrine of limitation. All this establishes the true nature of self, atma, to be saccidananda, limitless existence, sat and awareness or consciousness, cit, that is forever full, ananda.
Swami Tadatmananda is a traditionally-trained teacher of Advaita Vedanta, meditation, and Sanskrit. For more information, please see: www.arshabodha.org/
