Course leaders
The discussions are led by John Hughes, Denise Hughes, and George Barselaar, all of whom studied directly with Swami Lakshmanjoo.
As a realized master, Swami Lakshmanjoo (1907-1991) both understood and experienced the essence of this universal teaching. Throughout his lifetime he freely invited everyone to explore the means by which they could recognize and experience the reality of their own divinity.
The study series is designed for people of all ages, and all levels of understanding.
The course material is a combination of oral teachings in the form of audio lectures by the highly renowned scholar Saint of Kashmir Shaivism, Swami Lakshmanjoo. Swamiji’s teachings will be elaborated upon and broken down in easy to understand basic principles of Kashmir Shaivism by John, Denise, and George. This is a recording of a live online course and questions of participants were answered. You will also learn a simple but effective meditation practice and recitation of the Aghora mantra in the tradition of Kashmir Shaivism.
