“MANAMANTHAN” OR “RIPUDALAN”
In Hindu theology, Sshadripu (Sanskrit: meaning the six enemies) are the six enemies of the mind, which are: Kama (Desire/Lust), Krodha (Anger), Lobha (Greed), Mada (Ego), Moha (Attachment), and Matsarya (Jealousy) . In Hinduism, these 6 traits are considered negative characteristics that prevent humans from attaining Moksha
According to Hindu scriptures-Veda, Bhagavad Gita these traits bind the soul to the cycle of birth and death and keep it confined in this material world (confines of Maya or relative existence). Especially, the first three are said to pave the way towards hell. The first two bring about difficult experiences we face in our lives.
The Mada or Ahankar, the false ego, all our actions in the world are for selfish ends. Hence there is no other factor causing the illusory duality of differentiation between ‘us’ and ‘them’ and the repeated pain and delusion it entails than the psychological ego-sense. When the materially identified ego has sided with the materialistic forces of creation (Maya), it is said to have the following faults: Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Mada and Matsarya. Also called evil passions, man’s spiritual heritage constantly gets looted by these internal thieves (and their numerous variations),
causing him to lose knowledge of his True Being, it’s also create hindrance to achieve Mokhsha.
If a person is virtually a prisoner of the six internal enemies, then his life is completely governed by destiny. As a person moves ahead on the path of Self-Realization, the grip of destiny over him loosens and he gets more and more leverage to change his destiny.
When a person identifies himself with the Self, then he becomes part of the power of destiny
According to Hindu belief, without experiencing these Shadripu at the fullest a person cannot understand the meaning of the soul. These enemies of mind pull the human from all the sides away from the soul and make the life of the human miserable. To overcome this misery every human needs to experience all these Shadripu’s and understand the consequences which later teach the person the importance of love and divinity. A human who controls all these Shadaripu even at some of the extent later enjoy the power of peace and is called as sag, true man or holly man.

The Famous Chhau Guru of Nichuapada Uttar sahi Chhau Nrutya pratisthan Late Guru Sri Ramani Ranjan Mohanta first time bring “Sadaripu” in Chhau dance That time the Dance was only 15m. But this time , the above mentioned Gurus turn this dance iteam into a dance drama form.This is a very good attempt to aware people about the six
enemies of human being. Kama,Kradha,Labha,Maha, Mada and Mascharya are called Sadaripu or Six enimies of Mana . They are very corelated and one brings the other. They drugged to do all the evils and destruction .Mada ( ego or Garba) and Mascharya (jealousy or Ershad) are working like the two parts of a coin . Once one fall in ego all are came together . These Sadaripu drugged people far away from “Makhya”or goodness or Only aquaring of knowledge (Gyana ), keep meditation (Dhyana) and Love (Prema) one can defeat them. Here Love doesn’t mean ‘Kama”. Kama is the destruction but love is the solution.
