'''Panchagnividyā''' ([[Sanskrit (संस्कृत)|Sanskrit]]: पञ्चाग्निविद्या) deals with the essential principle of how life is seen in [[Sanatana Dharma (सनातन धर्म)|सनातन धर्म || Sanatana Dharma]].  Every aspect of life is a Yagna or divine activity, not just an action or labour.  Yagna is a continuous activity offered to divinity on a moment to moment basis. ''Panchagni vidyā'' is a specific kind of ''[[vidyā|विद्या || vidyā]]'' taught by the royal sage, [[प्रावहन  जैवली| Prāvāhana Jaivali]] to [[श्वेतकेतु|Svetaketu]], the son of [[Aruni|Uddālaka Āruni]].

The activity of creation (or of manifestation of any object) begins with the birth of the child (or with the production of an atom or molecule) whom the cosmos produces and not parents alone, then the child’s presence is felt everywhere mainly because the universe is intimately inter-connected. The ''[[Shastra|शस्त्र || Śāstras]]'' teach that the macrocosm is in the microcosm; each manifestation is the quintessence of every particle of ''[[Prakṛti|प्रकृति || Prakrti]]'', and that ''Prakrti'' on its own accord takes care of each manifestation or birth and withdraws those manifestations as a part of the operation of the universal laws. This is the philosophical background of this ''vidyā'' which deals all events of manifestation not merely as the birth of a human child alone, and which ''vidyā'' is the contemplation of the mind in perceiving the reality that is transcendent to the visible parts of the inner sacrifice.

While Panchagni Vidya is a part of Creation in Brahma Vidya as explained by the Chaandogya Upanishad, Chap 6, Naasadiya Sukta of the Rig veda explains more about the Creation of the Universe.
