  • Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati (Practicals of Dharma)
    Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati (Practicals of Dharma) By Paramahamsa Dr.Rupnathji There is nothing greater than guru, nothing greater than guru, nothing greater than guru, nothing greater than guru. Shiva is the instructor. Shiva is the instructor. Shiva is the instructor. Shiva is the instructor." - Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati, V, 63. This Sanskrit text, attributed to Siddha Gorakhnath, is divided into six chapters called Upadeshas. The Sanskrit edition used for this abstract is the Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati & Other Works of the Nath Yogis, Dr.Rupnathji, 1993. It is also very much worth consulting the English introduction, by Dr.Rupnathji, to the Siddha Siddhanta Sangraha of Balabhadra, Government Sanskrit College, Benares 1995. This introduction is out of copyright and we have also placed it on this site. The sections in this work are 1) origin of Pinda, 2) discussion of Pinda, 3) knowledge relating to Pinda, 4) foundation of Pinda. 5) unity of Pinda with the Supreme Reality (Parampada), and 6) the nature of the Avadhoot. The Parampada is also known as Anama, or the nameless. The Pinda itself is Shakti. Pinda means, literally, a ball or an egg. This egg is the cosmic egg or Macrocosm. and also the microcosmic egg, or the human being. It has six forms, called in this text Para (Supreme). Anadi (Without Origin), Adi (Origin), Mahasakara (Great Body), Prakrita (Natural Body) and Garbha (Womb-born Body), Each of these six aspects of Pinda has itself five factors, these being subdivided into five other divisions. So each of the six aspects of Pinda has 25 qualities. The five divisions partake of the nature of Space, Air, Water, Fire and Earth -- the five elements or Bhutas.

Le Netra Tantra, appelé également Mrtyuňjaya Tanira ou Mrtyujit, fait partie des ouvrages révélés que le sivaïsme du Kashmir reconnaît parmi ses sources. Il est loin cependant d'avoir la célébrité du Svacchanda, du Mâlinïvijaya, du Vijnânabhairava et de quelques autres1. Peu cité par les anciens2, peu lu par les contemporains, c'est un ouvrage sur lequel, à notre connaissance, aucune étude d'ensemble n'a jamais paru3. Il a pourtant été publié, en deux volumes, dans la Kashmir Series of Texts and Studies, en même temps que le commentaire qu'en a fait Ksemarâja, le célèbre disciple d'Abhinavagupta4. Cette édition, due à Madhusûdan Kaul, n'est basée que sur deux manuscrits appartenant à des collections privées ; et comme l'éditeur n'a pas jugé nécessaire de noter les variantes que présentaient ses sources, nous devons travailler sur un texte qui, pour être présenté comme définitif, n'en est que plus incertain. Madhusûdan Kaul est-il (1) Le Netra Tantra ne figure pas dans la liste des 64 Tantra non-dualistes cités par Jayaratha dans son commentaire au Tantràloka.

  • Sri Bhagavan and Kashmir Shaivism Introduction Among the Various
    Aum Namo Bhagavate Sri Ramanaya Sri Bhagavan and Kashmir Shaivism Introduction Among the various Hindu philosophies, Kashmir Shaivism is one of most famous schools of thought and one of its major philosophical articulations is Pratyabhijña Sastra . Like Advaita Vedanta it is monistic, like Vaishnavism it is theistic, like Yoga it is practical, like Nyaya it is logical as also is appeasing like Buddhism. Therefore, Kashmir Shaivism is considered by scholars as idealistic and realistic in essence, strongly advocating a pragmatic approach to life. Kashmir Shaivism arose during the eighth or ninth century in Kashmir and made significant strides, both philosophical and theological, until the end of the twelfth century. It was householder religion based on a strong monistic interpretation of the Bhairava Tantras (and its subcategory the Kaula Tantras), written by the Kapalikas . Somananda , the first theologian of monistic Shaivism, his disciple Utpaladeva, Abhinavagupta and his disciple, Ksemaraja are celebrated exponents of Kashmir Shaivism. It is philosophically important to distinguish Kashmir Shaivism from the Advaita Vedanta of Upanishads. Both are non-dual philosophies which give primacy to Universal Consciousness (Chit or Brahman). In Kashmir Shaivisim, all things are a manifestation of this Consciousness. Hence, the phenomenal world is real as it has its being in Consciousness (Chit). In comparison, Advaita Vedanta holds Consciousness (Chit) real rejecting the phenomenal world as an illusion (maya). The goal of human birth according to Kashmir Shaivism is to merge in Shiva or Universal Consciousness and realize one's already existing identity with Lord Shiva. Hence it is categorized by various scholars as monistic idealism and also as theistic monism as Liberation [Mukti] is through Lord Shiva.

  • Essence of Pradhana Tirtha Mahima
    ESSENCE OF PRADHANA TIRTHAS Compiled, composed and interpreted by V.D.N.Rao, Former General Manager, India Trade Promotion Organisation, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, Ministry of Commerce, Government of India 1 Other Scriptures by same Author Essence of Puranas:- Maha Bhagavata, Vishnu Purana, Matsya Purana, Varaha Purana, Kurma Purana, Vamana Purana, Narada Purana, Padma Purana; Shiva Purana, Linga Purana, Skanda Purana, Markandeya Purana, Devi Bhagavata;Brahma Purana; Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Agni Purana, Bhavishya Purana, Nilamata Purana; Shri Kamakshi Vilasa Dwadasha Divya Sahasranama: a) Devi Chaturvidha Sahasra naama: Lakshmi, Lalitha, Saraswati, Gayatri; b) Chaturvidha Shiva Sahasra naama: Linga-Shiva-Brahma Puranas and Maha Bharata; c) Trividha Vishnu and Yugala Radha-Krishna Sahasra naama; Padma-Skanda-Maha Bharata and Narada Purana.

These entities have magnificent absorbtive capacity. Innumerable external influences and internal pulls and pressures notwithstanding, the core of the thought and psyche remains intact. That is why the spirit of Tirtha Yatras is undying. Those who feel that following all of the principles of Dharma in essence may be difficult and even impractical in modern times, Tirtha visits as and when possible and practical could be refreshing escape routes from monotony and alternative means of „Punya and Purushartha‟.
