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.

  • A Translation of the Vijñāna-Bhairava-Tantra (Complete but Lacking Commentary) ©2017 by Christopher Wallis Aka Hareesh
    A translation of the Vijñāna-bhairava-tantra (complete but lacking commentary) ©2017 by Christopher Wallis aka Hareesh Introductory verse (maṅgala-śloka): “Shiva is also known as ‘Bhairava’ because He brings about the [initial awakening that makes us] cry out in fear of remaining in the dreamstate (bhava-bhaya)—and due to that cry of longing he becomes manifest in the radiant domain of the heart, bestowing absence of fear (abhaya) for those who are terrified. He is also known as Bhairava because he is the Lord of those who delight in his awesome roar (bhīrava), which signals the death of Death! Being the Master of that flock of excellent Yogins who tire of fear and seek release, he is Bhairava—the Supreme, whose form is Consciousness (vijñāna). As the giver of nourishment, he extends his Power throughout the universe!” ~ the great master Rājānaka Kṣemarāja, c. 1020 CE Like most Tantrik scriptures, the Vijñāna-bhairava-tantra (c. 850 CE) takes the form of a dialogue between Śiva and Śakti, here called Bhairava and Bhairavī. It begins with the Goddess asking Bhairava: śrutaṃ deva mayā sarvaṃ rudra-yāmala-saṃbhavam | trika-bhedam aśeṣeṇa sārāt sāra-vibhāgaśaḥ || 1 || . 1. O Lord, I have heard the entire teaching of the Trika1 that has arisen from our union, in scriptures of ever greater essentiality, 2. but my doubts have not yet dissolved. What is the true nature of Reality, O Lord? Does it consist of the powers of the mystic alphabet (śabda-rāśi)?2 3. Or, amongst the terrifying forms of Bhairava, is it Navātman?3 Or is it the trinity of śaktis (Parā, Parāparā, and Aparā) that [also] constitute the three ‘heads’ of Triśirobhairava? 4.

  • Untouchables in Hindu Tantric Literature
    Journal of Indian and Buddhist Studies, Vol. 52, No. 2, March 2004 ( 45 ) Untouchables in Hindu Tantric Literature Hiroki WATANABE 1 It is well known that what is called Hindu Tantrism, on the assumption of the concept of the corruption of the Kali Age (kaliyuga), denies caste discrimination and makes the practice of its doctrine open to people of all castes and that it reveals a new and easy way by which even the people in this age can attain moksa or final emancipation from transmigration.1)We can generally recognize in Tantric practices some aspects that are inherited from traditional Brahmanism or Hinduism and at the same time other elements different from them .2) Each of Hindu Tantric works, the number of which is enormous, includes various ideas or thoughts. We can sometimes find contradictory ones even in a single text. Moreover, many written sources of Hindu Tantrism to be directly based on yet remain to be edited critically in the strict sense of the word. Then the purpose of this paper is, taking up comparatively popular texts considered to belong to the Sakta or the Kaula that have several editions respectively : the Mahanirvanatantra (=Mnt), the Kularnavatantra(=Kt), the Jnanarnavatantra(=Jt), and the Rudrayamala- Uttaratantra (=Ry-Ut)3), to consider what they describes concerning what is called untouchables. 2 As to the view on the varna-system, first of all, it must be noted that in addition to the traditional four•\that is, brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, and sudra•\Mnt acknowledges the fifth varna called samanya for the Kali Age when humanity is held to become corrupted.') -910- ( 46 ) Untouchables in Hindu Tantric Literature (H.

  • Yajur Veda to Vaisampayana, the Sama Veda to Jaimini and the Atharva Veda to Sumantu
    Introduction to Vedic Knowledge second volume: The Four Original Vedas Samhitas, Brahmanas, Aranyakas and Upanishads by Parama Karuna Devi Copyright © 2012 Parama Karuna Devi All rights reserved. ISBN-10: 1482598299 ISBN-13: 978-1482598292 published by Jagannatha Vallabha Research Center PAVAN House, Siddha Mahavira patana, Puri 752002 Orissa Web presence: http://www.jagannathavallabha.com http://www.facebook.com/ParamaKarunaDevi http://jagannathavallabhavedicresearch.wordpress.com/ When, How and by Whom the Vedas Were Written In the previous chapters we have seen how Vedic knowledge has been perceived in the West and in India in the past centuries, and which misconceptions have developed because of the superimposition of various influences and motivations. We have also seen how Vedic knowledge transcends time and applies to reality itself, and how at each age it is again presented in the modalities and in the dimensions required to cater for the needs of the people of that age. Therefore when we speak of Vedic scriptures we refer not only to the original manuscripts that bear witness to the great antiquity of Hinduism in this age, but also to the previous versions of which we do not have copies, and also to the later texts compiled by self-realized souls that explain the original knowledge in harmony with the same eternal conclusions. For example in the case of the Puranas ("ancient stories") we see that the original version is presented and elaborated by a series of realized teachers. In the Bhagavata purana the two most prominent speakers are Sukadeva and Suta; Suta had received the knowledge of this Purana from Sukadeva when Sukadeva was speaking to King Parikshit and the Parama Karuna Devi other great sages assembled on the bank of the Ganges, and later he transmitted it to Saunaka and the other sages assembled at Naimisharanya.

  • Vivekananda Setu 1 Vivekananda Setu
    Vivekananda Setu 1 Vivekananda Setu Vivekananda Setu Vivekananda Setu Crosses Hooghly River Locale Bally-Dakshineswar Total length 880 metres (2,890 ft) Opened 1932 Coordinates 22°39′11″N 88°21′12″E Vivekananda Setu (Bengali: বিবেকানন্দ সেতু also called Willingdon Bridge and Bally Bridge) is a bridge over the Hooghly River in West Bengal, India. It links the city of Howrah, at Bally, to its twin city of Kolkata, at Dakshineswar. Built in December 1932, it is a multispan steel bridge and was built to provide road cum rail link between the Calcutta Port and its hinterland. It is 2,887 feet (880 m) long.[1] The construction of bridge was done by famous Kutchi-Mistri contractor and Industrialist Rai Bahadur Jagmal Raja Chauhan. His nameplate can still be seen on each girder of the bridge. The construction of bridge started in year 1926 and was completed in year 1932. The fabrication of the bridge was done at works of Braithwate & Company, Calcutta.[2][3] The Bally Bridge was named Willingdon Bridge after Viceroy of India, Freeman Freeman-Thomas, 1st Marquess of Willingdon, who inaugurated it. The first train that ran across the bridge was named Jagmal Raja Howrah Express by British acknowledging the feat of Rai Bahadur Jagmal Raja. It is said that bridge cost over one crore in those years. The bridge serves both road and rail: • Rail - connects Sealdah Station to Delhi • Road - connects Grand Trunk Road (Howrah side) to Barrackpore Trunk Road (Kolkata side) The famous Dakshineswar Temple is situated on the banks of the Hooghly river near the Bally Bridge.

Yoginī and goddess possession in early śaiva tantras* Judit Törzsök Although possession in general and possession by yoginīs in particular is a subject that has often been treated in the secondary literature, the testimony of the earliest śaiva sources of the yoginī cult have never been analyzed in detail. This is due to two main reasons: on the one hand, many of these sources are still available only in manuscript form,1 on the other, studies dealing with these manuscripts concentrated on other issues.2 In this paper, therefore, I intend to present some of the earliest tantric sources teaching the cult of yoginīs, which, at the same time, also deal with deity or yoginī possession. I shall thus attempt to show in what forms and contexts yoginī and goddess possession appears in the tantric sources and how possession comes to be integrated into the cult of yoginīs.
