About
Shaivism is a path to discover the nature of reality, the mysterious relationship between what is finite and all that is infinite, and who we really are, the essential Self. Shaivism reached its pinnacle in Kashmir as a non-dual – Advaita – approach to Tantra Yoga, embracing all that exists as essentially spiritual. Everything is consciousness.
“Shiva” means the “good one”, the benevolent, the kind. In the Indian tradition Shiva is the aspect of divine that reveals Itself, that unveils the Truth and sets you free.
What you will learn
This course embarks on that path step by step, unfolding the cosmology and symbolism of Kashmir Shaivism as the basis for many practices and initiations on this Liberation Way.
You will be initiated — among many other topics — in the following:
- Spirituality in daily life
- Methods to awaken Consciousness
- The mysteries of the 36 essential aspects of manifestation (tattvas)
- Initiatory and practical study of certain fundamental treatises of the Kashmir Shaivism: Shiva Sutra, Spanda Karika, Vijnana Bhairava Tantra etc.
- Sanskrit as a sacred alphabet
– The mysteries of the phonemic divine energies (of the creative divine Logos) - The Essential paths to spiritual liberation:
– the path of the Limited Being — Anavopaya
– the path of the Deifying Energy — Shaktopaya
– the path of Shiva — Shambavopaya; the Supreme Path (or the Path without steps) —Anupaya - Full revelation, from an efficient, practical perspective, of the 112 major direct methods of enlightenment contained in the esoteric treatise Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, which confer the revelation of the Immortal Supreme Self (Atman) and ecstatic, full union with God.
