Book Description

About the Author Shaivacharya Swami Lakshmanjoo (1907-1991) was a great Kashmiri Shaiva master and scholar who lived in the 20th century. He was a highly realized spiritual teacher who dedicated his life to the study, practice, and dissemination of the teachings of Kashmir Shaivism, one of the major schools of Hindu philosophy. Swami Lakshmanjoo was born in Srinagar, Kashmir, and was initiated into the lineage of Kashmir Shaivism at a young age. He received his spiritual education and training from several renowned masters, including Swami Mahtab Kak, who was his primary teacher. Swami Lakshmanjoo was a prolific writer and commentator on the Kashmir Shaiva texts, and his works include over 20 books and numerous audio and video recordings of his discourses. He is widely recognized as one of the greatest exponents of Kashmir Shaivism in modern times, and his teachings continue to inspire countless students and seekers of truth around the world. In the scholarly world, Swami Lakshmanjoo's legacy continues through the institutions he founded, including the Ishwar Ashram Trust, Kashmir Shaiva Institute, Lakshmanjoo Academy and the Universal Shaiva Fellowship, all of which are dedicated to preserving and disseminating the teachings of Kashmir Shaivism.

Preface This book presents a series of four lectures by His Holiness Shaivacharya Swami Lakshmanjoo Maharaj. These lectures, in Kashmiri Language, were delivered in the Gupta ganga Lecture hall close to the Ishwar Ashram in Srinagar, Kashmir between 1975 and 1980. In Patanjali's Yoga sutra, the eight fold path is called ashtanga, which literally means "eight limbs" (ashta = eight, anga - limbs). The lectures by Gurudev Maharaj delve on these limbs and also give the apara and para perspective of each limb, which adds to the uniqueness of this text and provides the perspective of Kashmir Shaivism to the entire text. These limbs of yoga, basically act as guidelines on how to live a meaningful and purposeful life. Swami Ji's underlines that these limbs of yoga constitute the basis for anyone seeking self realization. This book is a part of the larger project undertaken by Kashmir Shaiva Institute, another organization founded by His Holiness Shaivacharya Swami Lakshmanjoo Maharaj, to transcribe and translate the Kashmiri Lectures into English/Hindi and other languages. These translations will bring out the treasures in the Kashmiri lectures for the benefit of the entire humanity. This book is the Second Edition of the book that was entitled "The Eight Limbs of Yoga" in the first edition. We have added links & QR Codes for readers to hear the audio tracks of Swami ji's lectures, Corresponding to each lecture - these links/QR Codes are at the end of each chapter.

Introduction The Shaiva śāstras that we read, these have been stated by Lord Shiva through his mouth. But he has not said like that, the way his form is there, not like that. He has assumed the form of Svacchandanātha and then narrated the Shaiva śāstras. The form of Svacchandanātha has five faces and five mouths. Through the five mouths, he has stated the Shaiva śāstras. Now I will tell you why he has five mouths, why not six, why not four? He has five mouths because he has five supreme energies (śaktis): cit śaktis, ānanda śakti, icchā śakti, jñāna śakti and kriyā śakti. These five śaktis are indistinguishable from his nature. These five śaktis have taken their place in his five mouths. These five mouths are named Iśāna, Tatpuruşa, Sadyojāta, Vāmadeva and Aghora. Through these five mouths, he has stated these śāstras. These tantra śāstras he has stated through these five mouths. Tantra śāstras are divided into three classes. There are three divisions of these tantra śāstras. One type of tantra is called abheda tantra (i.e., advaita-monistic). Another tantra is called bhedābheda tantra. It consists of dvaita (dualistic) and advaita (monistic) also. Another tantra is which is called dvaita tantra (dualistic).
