"Maya Panchakam" means "Five Verses on Maya"
– A set of five concise yet profound verses composed by Adi Shankaracharya.
Maya Panchakam was born from a heartfelt intention to make India’s timeless spiritual insights both accessible and meaningful for today’s seekers. Initiated under the visionary guidance of Hiten Bhuta and nurtured by Sakar Trust, this project began as a focused exploration into one of Adi Shankaracharya’s most striking works on illusion and self-realization.
What started as a small circle of contemplation has unfolded into a transformative journey across five powerful sessions, offering seekers a rare blend of Advaita Vedanta, meditation, and scientific inquiry.
The vision of Maya Panchakam is simple yet profound: to help individuals see through illusion, awaken to their true nature, and experience the deep stillness of the Self.
Sakar Culture Appreciation Project (S-CAP) is a cultural revival movement committed to preserving and celebrating India’s spiritual and philosophical heritage. Maya Panchakam is a focused initiative under this mission—bringing to light the subtle wisdom of Adi Shankaracharya on the nature of illusion (Maya) and self-awareness.
Through this initiative, we aim to:
Offer free weekly reflections on the verses of Maya Panchakam.
Publish simple, accessible commentaries to support deep understanding.
Create multimedia content that resonates with today’s global audience.
Honor and revive India’s oral, artistic, and contemplative traditions.
Maya Panchakam continues S-CAP’s vision of making eternal wisdom accessible, practical, and alive for modern seekers.
