On Day 9, Evening session : Shri Gokulmuthu Narayanaswamy spoke on the topic Practical Application of Pancha Kosha Viveka in Everyday Life. Shri Gokulmuthu ji noted that the Panchakosha viveka is one of the prakriyas in the tradition of vedanta. It appears in Taittiriya, Chandogya and other major upanishads. It answers some of the important questions like who am I ? Who is the individual ? Who is the relative individual that I preserve and who is the absolute individual above all this.
