The Shiva Sutras

By: Ranjit Chaudhri

Narrated by: Rajiv Dadia

According to the legend, Sage Vasugupta received a divine revelation in a dream where Lord Shiva instructed him to seek out a specific stone near a serene stream. To his amazement, the stone turned over at his touch, revealing the sacred Shiva Sutras etched upon its surface. These profound sutras, reserved for those deemed worthy of divine grace, unravel the mysteries of our true nature and the illusory existence we inhabit. Ranjit Chaudhri has translated some important texts of Kashmir Shaivism from Sanskrit into English. These include 112 Meditations for Self Realization: The Vigyan Bhairava Tantra, The Shiva Sutras: Eternal Wisdom for Life, and Sounds of Liberation: The Spanda Karikas.

Great breakdown, would recommend!

The Shiva sutras language is very complex but this book here gives a very fine synopsis and will get you prepared to take up this work in a more detailed manner. Very happy to have listened!

a distortion of the philosophy of the tantraloka

This book relies on the lack of knowledge of the western listener of the actual philosophy of the tantraloca, erasing the kashmiri shiavite traditions uniqueness and trying to fold it into the dominant standard advaita vedanta tradition, I highly suggest, looking for a different commentary or not taking as seriously this commentary which attempts to fold the kashmirishiavite tradition i to adviata and pushes the non kashmiri shiavite idea the world is total illusion and not the expression of the body and consciousness of shiva and encourages one to ignore the world. "When one's own body is injured, there is great pain; the same should be felt when others are injured. This is because the whole universe is one's own body." Abhinavagupta i highly suggest looking into Jaideva Singh’s commentary which is is a direct vessel for the Tantraloka worldview, as he was a student of Swami Lakshmanjoo the last kashmiri shiavite master.
