Special lecture on the heaviness of the world - Chants for healing
aghora mantra svachandanatha wisdom in kashmir shaivism world mental health day Oct 10, 2024In view of all that is HAPPENING IN THE WORLD, we decided to share a few of Swamiji’s insights/comments and the value of the Aghora Mantra. Also, we have included an audio extract from the 13th Chapter of Kashmir Shaivism, the Secret Supreme, to gain a deeper understanding of Svacchanda Bhairava also known as Aghora Natha, the lord of the three Aghora energies which we recite at the beginning of each Sangha.
The first excerpt is from Swamiji's latest book: "The Wisdom of Kashmir Shaivism" a collection of important verses. In reference to these verses, Swamiji said: “They are for your daily recitation . . . maybe sometime you will experience these stages."
This is a session of the recent Weekly Sangha #41 (Who is Bhairava, Importance of the Aghora Mantra). You can find out more here.
