Video Series: The Wisdom of Kashmir Shaivism

In the summer of 1987, Swami Lakshmanjoo began compiling what he considered to be the most important verses (ślokas) from the various scriptures (śāstras) that he had studied throughout his life.

Although these verses are primarily from Kashmir Shaivite sources, Swamiji also included verses from Vedāntic texts such as the Yoga Vāsiṣtha and the Rāmāyaṇa. Swamiji tells us: “They are for your daily recitation. Maybe sometime you will experience these stages.”

As with other texts published by the Lakshmanjoo Academy, this book, The Wisdom of Kashmir Shaivism, is a carefully edited transcript along with footnotes, the bulk of which are extracts from Swamiji’s own explanations, and an appendix.

We have provided links for downloadable audio which comprise this volume. The appendix includes a complete list of the Wisdom Verses for recitation, along with Swamiji’s translations of the Krama Stotra, the Anuttarāṣṭikā, the Bhairava Stotra, the Dehasthadevatācakra Stotra, and The Sixteen Amṛtas.

You are doing a really good job with the webinar course. You’ve selected the perfect excerpts from Swamiji’s talks plus your own comments to provide a good foundation for beginners and a solid review for more experienced meditators. For some months now, I’ve been very caught up in taking care of responsibilities and obligations. The course is giving me the opportunity to focus on my spiritual objective and to contemplate the answers to my questions. Jai Guru Dev and  Love.

I would like to thank you for this 1st webinar session which was very well structured and well organized. Congratulations to all of you 🙂 ! As you correctly say, the subject is vast and very interesting so i am looking forward to the next webinar and in the meantime I will read the material and do the pranayama meditation.  Have a very good week. 🙂

Dear John, It is an incredible life achievement that you and your family are undertaking to bring this extraordinary knowledge of Kashmir Shaivism to the world. You are writing a new history of this knowledge assuring that Swamiji’s vision of Kasmir Shaivism meets modern human life and serves its needs. Webinar is in this respect a step further, a historical moment that offers further opportunity to grow individual and collective consciousness. I was lucky to meet you and get immersed in Swami Lakshmanjoo’s infinite Love the embodiment of Creation.  Jai Guru Dev

Lovely weaving of the concepts of meditation on the gap, the practice of it, referencing it in the various verses with Swamiji’s commentary followed by all of the discussions. Even the discussion and presentation felt like they “strengthened” the idea as was contained in the idea of Karma Yoga via Kashmir Shaivism. The couple of stories about Swamiji’s life and experiences as a young man were very helpful. I had not heard a few of those ever before. I also appreciated that this particular meditation was initiated in our last retreat and is being continued here. When that was presented in the retreat it felt to me like I had gotten an answer regarding the best approach to meditation. Please keep it coming, it feels delightful. The breathing presented in the first two were also very good. Thanks so much! Jai Guru Dev.

I am enjoying the classes immensely and would like to thank all concerned in making them available; I am fascinated by Abhinavagupta’s teachings and take great pleasure in hearing Swamiji’s explanations; also those of John, Denise and George. It is my deep regret that I do not live nearer to the United States so as to be able to attend your meetings, this webinar is a lovely way to feel connected. It can be spiritually rather desolate here in France at times; so nice to know that the Academy is there; I am looking forward to the next installment. I really enjoyed reading Swami Ji’s letter it touched me deeply. Thanks again to all concerned.
