SHADRIPU - THE SIX ENEMIES OF OUR SOUL

SHADRIPU - THE SIX ENEMIES OF OUR SOUL

Shadripu (Sanskrit: षड्रिपु meaning the six enemies)

The shadripus have been listed as

1. Lust (Sanskrit: Kama)

2.Greed (Sanskrit: Lobha)

3. Anger (Sanskrit: Krodha)

4.Pride (Sanskrit: Mada)

5. Attachment (Sanskrit: Moha)

6.Covetousness (Sanskrit: Matsarya)

These bind the soul to the process of birth and death and keep it confined in this material world (confines of maya or illusion). Especially the first three are said to pave the way towards hell.

THE ONE WHO FREES HIMSELF FROM THE CLUTCHES OF THESE SIX ENEMIES ONLY FINDS THE PATH TO HIS FINAL ABODE - MOKSHA

AUM NAMAHA SHIVAY
