The sculpture of Shiva and the Goddess, c. 10th century Bhairawa and the wife in the union representing consciousness and his creative power Painting of Bhairawa Vijena-bhairava-tantra (VBT, sometimes written in a hindicised way as Vigyan Bhairav Tantra) is Shayva Tantra, from the tradition of Kaula Triak Kashmir. Abhinawagupta is also called siva-ion-upanishad. VBT is framed as a discourse between Bhairawa (huge or appalling) and the goddess Bhairavi in 163 Sanskrit stanzas of anushubha. It summarizes about 112 methods of tantric meditation (yuktis) or methods of centering (dhara) in a very concise form. These practices should lead to recognition of the true nature of Reality, huge or surprising consciousness (i.e. These include several options for mindfulness of breathing, concentration at different centers in the body, not double awareness, practice of mantras, visualizations and contemplation that use feelings. The prerequisite for success in any practice is a clear understanding of which method is best for the practitioner. Review Text presents itself as containing the essence of Rudrayamala-tantra, the Bhairawa tantra, which is now lost. In Vigen-bhairava-tantra (VBT), Bhairavi, the goddess (Shakti), asks Bhairawa (a terrifying form of Shiva) to reveal the essence of how to grasp the true nature of reality. In his reply, Bhairawa describes 112 ways to enter the universal and transcendent state of consciousness. References to it appear throughout the literature of Kashmiri Shaivism, indicating that it was considered an important text in this tradition. VBT describes the purpose of these practices, the true nature of reality, as follows: In addition to reckoning in space or time; No direction or terrain; It's unimaginable. ultimately indescribable; Blessed with the experience of what is most intimate; field of awareness, free from mental structures: this state of overcrowded fullness Is Bhairawa, the essence of Bhairawa. This is that entity that is ultimately real and fundamental; This is something that needs to be known and tested; it's something that's inherently pure, and that's what permeates everything. (Translation by Christopher Wallis, 2018) According to Christopher Wallis, Bhairav and Bhairavi are also used to refer to extended states of consciousness, with Bhairavi referring more to the energetic and active (Sakti) states, and Bhairawa to the still-silent (son) states. Wallis also notes that the text has a strong Buddhist influence, and one of the most common meditations taught in the text focuses on emptiness (the sn.) of things like verse 48, which offers body meditation as empty space, and verses 45 and 49 that teach meditation on the empty space of the heart. The practices of most VBT verses are concise descriptions of various practices that allow access to the state of Bhairawa's consciousness. Mark Dychkowski categorized the practice of VBT into various basic types along with the verses in which they appear: a practice based on Breath: verses 24-27, 55, 64, 154 Cunyarlina Practice: 28-31, 35 Dvidanyanta (point twelve finger widths above your head): 50-51, Practice focusing on feelings: 32, 36, 67, 77?, 89, 117, 136 Sound and Mantra practices: 38-42, 90-91, 114 Void: 43-48, 58-60, 120, 122 Universe (or lack thereof): 53, 56-57, 95 Body (or lack thereof):46-48 (ceiling with void), 52, 54, 63, 65, 93, 104, 107 Heart/Center (Hudaam): 49, 61, 62 Pleasure 68-74, 96 Light & Dark: 37, 76, 87, 88 Sleep & Dream [& Liminal states]: 55, 75, 86 Practice with the body: 66, 78-79, 81, 82, 83, 111 Gazing: 80, 84, 85, 113, 119-120 Equanimity: 100, 103, 123-4, 125-6, 129 Knowledge/insight: 97-99, 105, 106, 112, 127, 131 Intense sensations and emotions: 101, 115, 118 Where the mind goes: 33, 34, 92, 94, 108, 116, 128, [138] The 'magic show': 102, 133-5, 137 The Supreme Lord: 109-110, 121, 132 Commentaries and English translations Part of a series onShaivism DeitiesParamashiva(Supreme being) Shiva Sadasiva Bhairava Rudra Virabhadra Shakti Durga Kali Parvati Sati Ganesha Murugan Sastha Shiva forms Others Scriptures and texts Vedas Upanishads (Svetasvatara) Agamas and Tantras Shivasutras Tirumurai Vachanas Philosophy Three Components Pati Pashu Pasam Three bondages Anava Karma Maya 36 Tattvas Yoga Satkaryavada Abhasavada Svatantrya Aham Practices Vibhuti Rudraksha Panchakshara Bilva Maha Shivaratri Yamas-Niyamas Guru-Linga-Jangam Schools Adi Margam Pashupata Kalamukha Kapalika Mantra Margam Saiddhantika Siddhantism Non - Saiddhantika Kashmir Shaivism Pratyabhijna Vama Dakshina Kaula: Trika-Yamala-Kubjika-Netra Other Nath Inchegeri Veerashaiva / Lingayatism Siddharism Srutaism Agori Indonesian scientists Lakulisha Abhinawagupta Vasupta Ut Padaldeva Nayanar Meikandar Nirrartha Basawa Sharan Srikant Appaya Nawnath Related Nandi Tantrism Bhakti Jyotirlinga Shiva Temples Vte Text appeared in the 1918 Kashmir series of text and research (KSTS). The Kashmiri series published two volumes, one with a commentary on Sanskrit by Kschemaraji and Shivopadhya, and the other with a commentary called Kaumadi, by Ananda Bhatta. In 1957, Paul Reps attracted widespread attention by incorporating a poetic English translation into his popular book, zen Flesh, zen Bones. Reps' translation was the subject of Osho's voluminous comment. As the Sanskritist Christopher Wallis writes, many English translations were made by people who have no training in Sanskrit reading and do not have the background reading Sanskrit tantric texts on which VBT relies. As a result, there were various poetic or free form visualizations that failed to properly communicate the actual practices that are summarized in the text. The exceptions are the translation of Jaidev Singh and the translation of Mark Dychkowski. Various VBT translations include: Sri Weinana Bhairawa Tantra: Climbing, Swami Satyasangananda Saraswati (Guide to Self-Realization: 112 Weinana Bhairawa Tantra Meditations, Swami Lakshmanju, edited by John Hughes by Weinan Bhairawa: The Practice of Centering Awareness, Bettina Baumer and Sarla Kumar, commentary by Swami Lakshmanjoo or Divine Consciousness: Treasury of 112 types of Sanskrit yoga with English translation, Expository Note, and the Glossary of Technical Terms by Jaideva Singh.

There are a few centers of sacredness, which are held at high esteem by the ardent devotees who dream to travel and worship God in these holy places. All these holy sites have some mythological significance attached to them. When people go to a temple, they say they go for Darsan – of the image of the presiding deity. The pinnacle act of Hindu worship is to stand in the presence of the deity and to look upon the image so as to see and be seen by the deity and to gain the blessings. There are thousands of Siva sthalams- pilgrimage sites - renowned for their divine images. And it is for the Darsan of these divine images as well the pilgrimage places themselves - which are believed to be the natural places where Gods have dwelled - the pilgrimage is made.

  • One and Three Bhairavas: the Hypocrisy of Iconographic Mediation Gregory Price Grieve
    Revista de Estudos da Religião Nº 4 / 2005 / pp. 63-79 ISSN 1677-1222 One and Three Bhairavas: The Hypocrisy of Iconographic Mediation Gregory Price Grieve The artist-as-anthropologist, as a student of culture, has as his job to articulate a model of art, the purpose of which is to understand culture by making its implicit nature explicit. [T]his is not simply circular because the agents are continually interacting and socio-historically located. It is a non-static, in-the-world model. Joseph Kosuth1, “The Artist as Anthropologist” (1991[1975]) Iconography is a hypocritical term. On the face of it, “iconography” simply denotes the critical study of images (Panofsky 1939; 1955). Yet, one must readily admit that iconography stems from the fear of images (Mitchell 1987). In fact, iconography can be defined as a strategy for writing over images. But why fear images? Iconography’s zealotry—from idols made in the likeness of God to fetishes made in the image of capital—stems from the terror of the material. Accordingly, to proceed in an analysis of iconography, one must make explicit what most religious discursive systems must by necessity leave implict religion is never just “spirit.” Whether iconophobia or iconophilia, whether iconoclastic or idolatry, what all religions have in common is that they rely on matter for their dissemination. Even speech, the most reified communication, relies on air and the physicality of the human body. Accordingly, to write about, rather than write over, religious images, we need to return to the material. Stop and take a look at the god-image of Bhairava, a fierce form of Shiva from the Nepalese city of Bhaktapur2.
