Dr. Sarvepalli Anantha Padmanabha Rao, M.S., distilled the wisdom of Vedas, and Upanishads by discovering “Panchama MahaVakya” or 5th Great Aphorism that states “Tat Asmi PrabhO.” India’s great teacher Adi Shankaracharya composed a single verse, “Eka Shloki” in Sanskrit to capture the essence of the “Four Mahavakyas” (MahaVakya Chatushtaya), Upanishadic Aphorisms. Dr. Sarvepalli went ahead to encapsulate Knowledge and Wisdom or ‘Upadesha’ of Great Guru Shankara in one short, brief, and a precise statement which in Indian tradition can be called the ‘Fifth or Panchama MahaVakya’.

FIFTH MAHAVAKYA – TAT ASMI PRABHO – FUNDAMENTAL DUALISM
Aphorism refers to a short, concise statement of principle. The ‘Upanishads’ are commentaries on texts called Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda, and Atharva Veda.
