Download or read book Shiva Sutras written by Swami Sukhabodhananda and published by Jaico Publishing House. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ability is an important tool in life. Ability without commitment and awareness is like a vehicle without the engine. The Shiva Sutra enhances one’s awareness in a way one sees an opportunity in a difficulty and not a difficulty in an opportunity. There is an ‘outside reality’ and an ‘inside reality’ of one’s mind. There is also another dimension called ‘spiritual reality’. To harmonize all of them is a great awakening. Ordinary being loves one’s own ‘psycho dramas’ of justification, proving one’s point of view, blaming, being helpless... and this leads one to a state of inner poverty. To free oneself from these lower states of poverty and see them as ‘errors in one’s thinking’ is part of being effective and experiencing inner prosperity. The profound teaching of Lord Shiva introduces us to A Bigger Container where one learns to be charitable to one’s own self. This practice of making A Bigger Container is essentially spiritual. Dive deep into these mystic teachings. —Swami Sukhabodhananda
Download or read book Shiva Sutras written by V. Ravi and published by MANBLUNDER. This book was released on 2011-01-23 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shiva Sutras are the aphorisms of philosophy of Shiva agama. Agama means acquisition of knowledge or traditional doctrine or percept. There are four sources through which knowledge can be acquired. They are perception, inference, comparison and non-apprehension. Advaita philosophy advocates non-dualism, in the sense that the Brahman and soul are not different entities. Soul, in fact is the mirror image of the Brahman Himself. But the Kashmir Shaivism, though typically follows the advaita philosophy, has a peculiar system of its own called trika. Trika shastra means three fold fundamental systems of Reality. Typically, shastra means order, command, percept rule, etc. Compendium of rules of life is also known as shastra. Trika shastra is again divided into three categories, agama shastra, spanda shastra and pratyabhijnana shastra. Shiva sutras come under aagama shastra. Spanda means throbbing or pulsation. It is the pulsation of Shiva causing a spiritual exaltation in the indispensable nature of the divine causing His svatantrya shakti, known as the Supreme Shakti or the Divine Mother, whose gross and subtle attributes are dealt with exhaustively in Lalita Sahasranaama. The third one pratyabhijnana shastra contains arguments and reasoning of identifying soul with Shiva. The present edition explains Shiva Sutras in a simple and easily understandable language. As far as possible, complicated Sanskrit terms have been avoided without sacrificing the intended meaning of those words. Aphorisms are quoted both in Sanskrit and IAST (International Font for Sanskrit Transliteration). IAST fonts are used throughout this book.

Download or read book The Shiva Sutra of Vasugupta written by Gerard DC Kuiken and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-02-08 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shiva Sutra was revealed to and written down by Vasugupta (ca 875--925 CE). The Sutra is considered mystical and of divine origin. For Kashmir Shaivism, it is one of the most important key sources. It outlines the teachings of Shaiva non-dualism, where the focus is on attaining the Ultimate Reality in which everything is created and dissolved. This ultimate state is called Param Shiva and is beyond description. For attaining this state of Shiva for those who remember to reside in their own inherent-self-nature, which is of the nature of Shiva, no effort or no way is needed. For everyone else there are three ways for the attainment of Param Shiva described in the Shiva Sutra. There is no strict order given for meditating on the Sutra. It depends on one's stage of evolution. Translation from the original Sanskrit with notes.
Download or read book The Aphorisms of iva written by Vasugupta and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1992-05-14 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shiva Sutra was revealed to Vasugupta by Shiva in order to counter the effects of dualism. This revelation initiated the hermeneutics of syntheses and exegesis climaxed by the great Abhinavagupta. The Shiva Sutra is the most important scripture in the Trika system of Kashmir Shaivism. As a book on yoga, it explains the nature and cause of bondage and the means to liberation from bondage. Bhāskara is in the direct lineage of Vasugupta. To Bhāskara's commentary, Mark Dyczkowski has added his translation of an anonymous commentary as an aid to understanding Bhāskara's interpretation. This anonymous writer also serves as a bridge between Kṣemarāja's and Bhāskara's commentaries, drawing from both. The commentary on each sutra is thus in three layers. Bhāskara's commentary is first, followed by the anonymous commentary, after which Dyczkowski adds his own exposition and compares Bhāskara and Kṣemarāja. Kṣemarāja's commentary, the Vimarsini, has been translated by Jaideva Singh and published by SUNY Press under the title Siva Sutra.

Download or read book Threads of Transcendence written by Adi Suyash and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2024-04-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Threads of Transcendence" stands as the most profound and comprehensive commentary on the Shiva Sutras to date.

Authored by Adi Suyash, a self-realised mystic of the Kashmir Shaiva order of Tantriks, "Threads of Transcendence" surpasses all existing commentaries. It remains faithful to the heart of this long-forgotten philosophy and bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern understanding. It sheds light on all facets of non-dual mysticism, spanning from philosophy to practical aspect, and covers all possible and accurate interpretations of each Sutra while maintaining simplicity, profundity, and straightforwardness. Using simple parables and analogies, it ensures easy comprehension even for the casual reader.This book is written for devotees who yearn for the nectar-like wisdom of Shiva, who genuinely want to transform their lives; they are the ones deserving of grace, and it is to them that Shiva intended these teachings to reach.
