Paramaartha-Saara classes

[Jaishankar Narayanan]

Namaste,

Recently I came across the Prakarana grantha Paramaartha-Saara authored by Adi Sesha and is supposed to predate even Gaudapada Karikas. In just 85 verses in Aaryaa Chandas this text deals with all the topics in Advaita - explaining with different analogies which were also used by Shankara later. 

This text is also referenced in Vidyaranya's Jeevanmukti Viveka, where it is called Aaryaa-panchaasheeti (85 verses in Aarya chandas / metre). Abhinava Gupta who is a great acharya of Kashmiri Shaiva Darshana adapted this text, and expanded it, while retaining the original title, to form a manual of the Pratyabhijna Shaiva marga. You can read this text at

I am going to conduct online classes on this text in English over zoom. The classes will be conducted every Sunday, starting 27th of Apr 2025, from 07.30 AM to 08.30 AM IST. Those who want to attend the classes can message your request to the number +919710946652

with love and prayers,

Jaishankar
