Sadhana Panchakam is a prescription of 40 values which are most essential to lead a life of depth and meaning. In this preliminary text of Vedanta, the science of harmonious living, the great revivalist of Advaita Vedanta, Adi Shankaracharya, gives us the direction and milestones of life's journey through five potent and powerful verses.

The discourses are by Swami Chinmayananda, one of the greatest teachers of Vedanta of the modern era, well known for his unique style which vivifies the deep philosophical ideas and uplifts the listener to new heights of clarity and understanding.

In these five masterful discourses, we are prompted to think about the essentials of life-values, concentration, devotion, the need for positive company and the attainment of complete happiness.
