Dissertation Advisor: Parimal G. Patil Benjamin Luke Williams ABHINAVAGUPTA’S PORTRAIT OF GURU: REVELATION AND RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY IN KASHMIR ABSTRACT This dissertation aims to recover a model of religious authority that placed great importance upon individual gurus who were seen to be indispensable to the process of revelation. This person-centered style of religious authority is implicit in the teachings and identity of the scriptural sources of the Kulam!rga, a complex of traditions that developed out of more esoteric branches of tantric "aivism. For convenience sake, we name this model of religious authority a “Kaula idiom.” The Kaula idiom is contrasted with a highly influential notion of revelation as eternal and authorless, advanced by orthodox interpreters of the Veda, and other Indian traditions that invested the words of sages and seers with great authority.

The rewriting of a Tantric tradition: from the Siddhayogeśvarīmata to the Timirodghāṭana and beyond* Judit Törzsök The earliest surviving scriptural sources that teach the Hindu tantric worship of goddesses and female spirits (yoginīs), the Siddhayogeśvarīmata and the Brahmayāmala (composed around the 7th century CE), belong to a corpus of texts called Bhairavatantras.1 The main rituals they prescribe have the same structure as those of the śaiva Siddhānta and Tantras teaching the cult of Bhairava; but their pantheon, their mantras and some of their additional rituals are different, all of them involving mantra goddesses as opposed to male deities. These texts also teach the worship of numerous female spirits, yoginīs or yogeśvarīs, some of whom are goddess-like beings, others are rather human witch-like figures.

  • Indian Philosophy Encyclopædia Britannica Article
    Indian philosophy Encyclopædia Britannica Article Indian philosophy the systems of thought and reflection that were developed by the civilizations of the Indian subcontinent. They include both orthodox (astika) systems, namely, the Nyaya, Vaisesika, Samkhya, Yoga, Purva-mimamsa, and Vedanta schools of philosophy, and unorthodox (nastika) systems, such as Buddhism and Jainism. Indian thought has been concerned with various philosophical problems, significant among them the nature of the world (cosmology), the nature of reality (metaphysics), logic, the nature of knowledge (epistemology), ethics, and religion. General considerations Significance of Indian philosophies in the history of philosophy In relation to Western philosophical thought, Indian philosophy offers both surprising points of affinity and illuminating differences. The differences highlight certain fundamentally new questions that the Indian philosophers asked. The similarities reveal that, even when philosophers in India and the West were grappling with the same problems and sometimes even suggesting similar theories, Indian thinkers were advancing novel formulations and argumentations. Problems that the Indian philosophers raised for consideration, but that their Western counterparts never did, include such matters as the origin (utpatti) and apprehension (jñapti) of truth (pramanya). Problems that the Indian philosophers for the most part ignored but that helped shape Western philosophy include the question of whether knowledge arises from experience or from reason and distinctions such as that between analytic and synthetic judgments or between contingent and necessary truths. Indian thought, therefore, provides the historian of Western philosophy with a point of view that may supplement that gained from Western thought. A study of Indian thought, then, reveals certain inadequacies of Western philosophical thought and makes clear that some concepts and distinctions may not be as inevitable as they may otherwise seem.

  • Tantraloka Notes
    Tantraloka Notes 1. ONE Tantraloka by george barselaar Of all the philosophical systems emanating from the east, Kashmir Shaivism stands alone in its subtle elucidation of the theory and practice of spirituality. Aptly labeled ‘the mystical geography of awareness’, the agamas(1) of Shaivism describe in microscopic detail the development of human consciousness from the grosses state of ignorance to the subtlest state of universal God consciousness. Drawing from these ancient scriptures–many of which are now lost–the great Shaiva master Abhinavagupta (10 CE), fashioned the monistic tradition known as Trika Rahasyam(2). After attaining God realization, Abhinavagupta states that out of curiosity he sat at the feet of many masters and like an industrious bee collected the nectar of the prominent philosophical traditions of his time. Completing this venture he returned to his own disciples and spontaneously sang thirty-seven philosophical hymns in the same number of days. This encyclopedic text became Abhinavagupta’s greatest philosophical work entitled Tantraloka. In thirty-seven chapters he unfolded the petals of his heart lotus of knowledge explaining the process of creation and evolution of the universe in term of the expansion of Shiva’s consciousness. He laid bare the secrets of the monistic system know today as Kashmir Shaivism. In his first chapter Abhinavagupta states clearly that he was impelled by Lord Shiva, his masters, and his closest disciples, to compose Tantraloka. In verse 284 of that same chapter he states: “That person who has read, achieved and understood the depth of these thirty-seven chapters becomes one with Bhairava-Lord Shiva.” ~Swami Lakshmanjoo In composing Tantraloka, Abhinavagupta drew inspiration from the Malinivijaya tantra(3), a text so cryptic in places that scholars of that time were at a loss to understanding it.

  • Besides Editing the Major Portion of the Work, Dridhabala Also Reconstructed, Possibly from Agnivesa, the Last Two Sections of the Charaka Samhita Which Had Been Lost
    News, Notes and Queries DERMATOLOGICAL WRITINGS OF ANCIENT INDIA THIS paper is concerned with a glimpse into the wealth of ancient Indian medical literature. A small sampling of the general knowledge and thoughts of these ancients will be presented along with an attempt to place their leading texts into some historical perspective. Following this, emphasis will be placed on some of the writings of what may be called 'Ancient Indian Dermatology'. Most modern physicians are not aware of the richness of the medical literature of ancient India. Even most monographs and textbooks on the history of medicine include only cursory references to medicine in Ancient India. In addition, English translations ofthe original Sanskrit texts are usually available only in certain specialized libraries. The leading prominent texts available to these ancient medical practitioners were the Atharva-Veda,"'2 Charaka Samhita," and the Sushruta Samhita.4'5 A brief summary of their contents is given below: ATHARVA-VEDA SAMHITA The Atharva-Veda is one of the ancient scriptures (vedas). The vedas are among the world's oldest literature. Estimates of the dates of composition of the vedas range from 3000 B.C.-lO00 B.C. The vedas contain much of the knowledge of the age. Of the four vedas, the Atharva-Veda is by far the most important source ofearly references to medicine. Although the Atharva-Veda is basically a religious text, in it we see the foundation of the future system of medicine. The book contains over 700 hymns consisting of about 6,000 stanzas. Of these hymns, 114 are devoted to medical topics.

Shivanandanagar, Distt. Tehri-Garhwal, Uttaranchal, Himalayas, India PUBLISHERS’ NOTE Sri Swami Sivanandaji. Maharaj was a healer of the body in his Purvashram (before he entered the Holy Order of Sannyasa). He was a born healer, with an extraordinary inborn love to serve humanity; that is why he chose the medical profession as a career. That is why he edited and published a health Journal “Ambrosia”. That is why he went over to Malaya to serve the poor in the plantations there. And, strangely enough, that is why, he renounced the world and embraced the Holy Order of Sannyasa. He was a healer of the body and the soul. This truth is reflected in the Ashram which he has established in Rishikesh. The huge hospital equipped with modern instruments was set up and the entire Ashram where all are welcome to get themselves healed of their heart’s sores and thoroughly refresh themselves in the divine atmosphere of the holy place. Sri Swamiji wanted that all systems of healing should flourish. He had equal love and admiration for all systems of healing. He wanted that the best of all the systems should be brought out and utilised in the service of Man.

Çréà! O Potenza del Vento! Yaà! Nel cuore la Potenza d’Incantesimo è Signora del Sütra. Nel corpo elementale tramite la Madre vien generato il corpo sapienziale. Tramite il fuoco l’Attorta si mostra qual genitrice del Compiuto. Per la Sapienza vien generato nel mondo il Re della Danza. 1 1 Cfr. Mahäsvacchandatantra, cit. da AVALON, Il Potere del Serpente, p. 102: “I grandi dichiarano, o Regina, che la Tua forma beata si manifesta in Anähata, e che è sperimentata dal mentale introverti- to dei Beati, i cui capelli stan dritti e gli occhi piangono per la gioia”. Ora, Anähata, il cakra della regione del cuore dove si ode il “suono senza percussione” (anähataçabda), è il cakra di Väyu, cioè del Vento, il cui béjamantra è Yaà. Çréà è invece il mantra di Lakñmé (Çré), simile al cui beneamato (Viñëu) diviene colui che sul loto del cuore medita, il quale altresì “diviene (simile al) Signore del Linguaggio” (Ñaöcakranirüpaëa, in AVALON, cit., pp. 292 e 290).
