The panis are the materialistic people and enemies of wisdom who envy the jnanis. Living in the materialistic world, trying to exploit the society, going in the name of socialism -- these are asuric and destructive energies.  Many mantras of the Rg veda prove that Panis were the original residents of Bharatavarsha, though the Aryan myth claims that the panis were chased away by the Aryas.

The society or the world is generally filled with Anaryas—those who are like Panis or Dasyus. Dasyus are traders like Pani. It comes from the root word: “Dus” those who take business as their goal. The alternative word given by Yaska in Nirukti is: “dasaha dassyathe upadasayathi’. The point is that business and farming or transactions is required and not to be viewed in negative sense. But the purely materialistic attitude with business only for personal profits, without connection to the jnana of the other world:“para” is not a Vedic practice. Therefore Panis who hinder the advancement of Consciousness in Spiritual realm, are viewed with contempt as seen in Rig Veda mantras. Therefore vedas rather than speaking from a historical perspective alone, are establishing an eternal truth. And this indicates that since times immemorial jnana shakti is constantly in war with ajananis or unintelligent people. Panis could be from any kula or race or any civilization, but that is not an important consideration for the Vedas.

Panis exist in the present society also. Panis do not indicate just the community, but are the people or their actions and behaviour. When our spiritual knowledge is kept in darkness it gives rise to wrongful transactions and ||nasthik (atheism).

Sadly, Panis exist in the present society also. Panis do not indicate just the community, but are the miserly intentions of people or their actions and behaviour. When our spiritual knowledge is kept in darkness it gives rise to wrongful transactions and ||nasthik (atheism).
