In light of recent events around the world, we felt it important to share some of Swami Lakshmanjoo’s insights on the Aghora Mantra and its transformative power.
Included here is an audio excerpt from Chapter 13 of Kashmir Shaivism: The Secret Supreme, where Swamiji speaks about Svacchanda Bhairava—also known as Aghora Natha, the Lord of the three Aghora energies. This is the same mantra we chant at the beginning of each Weekly Sangha.
The above video content is taken from a recent Sangha session:
Shiva Sutras, Second Awakening #41: "Who is Bhairava? The Importance of the Aghora Mantra."
In 1989, after receiving a direct vision of Svacchanda Bhairava, Swamiji wrote a powerful letter to John Hughes on the significance of the Aghora Mantra. You can read that letter here.
To further deepen this message, we are also sharing the Bahurūpa-Garbha Stotra—an ancient hymn that expands upon the Aghora Mantra and elucidates the nature of Svacchanda Bhairava during our Weekly Sangha. More here...
Swamiji concluded his letter with a heartfelt directive:
"You should spread this message all over the world."
We hope these teachings offer guidance and inspiration during these challenging times.
God Bless.
