Dehasta Devata Chakra Stotra – A Five-Part Course with Swami Lakshmanjoo


Swami Lakshmanjoo’s revelation of the Dehasta Devata Chakra Stotra

 We are pleased to offer this five-part course on Abhinavagupta’s Dehasta Devata Chakra Stotra — a sacred hymn revealing the wheel of divine energies (devatas) that dwell within the body and throughout the universe.

In this luminous teaching, Swami Lakshmanjoo unfolds the mystery of how these energies manifest both within us and in all of creation. Through his guidance, we are invited to discover the body not as ordinary, but as a sacred vessel of divine consciousness — the living reflection of the universal Self.

In this Course You Will Receive

  • Five video sessions with Swami Lakshmanjoo’s explanation of each verse.
  • Audio recordings — of the verses alone, and of the verses with Swamiji’s commentary.
  • PDF study guide including Sanskrit verses, English translation, and detailed explanations.
  • Beautifully illustrated Dehasta Devata Chakra Chart for contemplation and study.
  • Access to discussion and Q&A sessions to deepen understanding and share insight.

Through this study, may you come to recognize the divine energies enlivening your own being and perceive the universe as a reflection of that same radiant Consciousness.

The course is led by John Hughes, Denise Hughes, and George Barselaar, each of whom studied directly with Swami Lakshmanjoo (1907–1991) — a realized master and saint of Kashmir Shaivism.

Swamiji’s original oral teachings form the foundation of this course. John, Denise, and George expand upon them, presenting the essential principles of Kashmir Shaivism in a clear, accessible, and engaging way.


Who This Course Is For

This course welcomes seekers of all ages and backgrounds — from newcomers drawn to non-dual philosophy to long-time students of spiritual traditions. No prior experience with Kashmir Shaivism is needed, only a sincere interest in exploring the deeper reality of life.
