Srsti Rahasya — Tantra’s Secret of Creation #98
All of the religious traditions of the world possess some system or ideology that proposes what the origins of life are and where they come from. Of them all, India stands out and is head and shoulders beyond the others, mainly because its cosmology is both sensible to the intellect and philosophically sound. In India’s well-thought, deeply meditated systems of cosmology there is no conjecture based in hope or sentimentality, no faint-hearted appeal leveled towards attracting the soul towards the phenomenal and the occult. There is no force utilized based in fear of damnation or alienation. There is no immortality, either on earth or in heaven. There is just the Eternal beyond them both. Mother India has many darshanas, clear pathways to Freedom, and these the Divine Mother reveals to souls seeking the highest Refuge. With any one of these, like Tantra’s Srsti Rahasya, Origins both physical and spiritual will be plumbed, resulting in the full understanding of the presence and meaning of all worlds and the beings who abide in them.
The Sacred Doctrine of Conjunctions #149
Connections are precious, especially in a world whose living beings leave so much of existence in a disconnected state. In ancient India, the seers of Truth looked to see clearly, via introspection and meditation, then moved to make connections of all and sundry around them and within them. Aspects of nature, matters involving acts and deeds, and mainly, thoughts that seemed random and meaningless —all were brought together into satisfying union. This wisdom chart shows some of the main conjunctions that were important to the rishis, and which today will bring deeper meaning to life in the world as well.
The Three Classes of Beings According to Tantra #127
In an illumined designation reminiscent of Sri Krishna’s Bhagavad Gita teachings on the effects of the three Gunas on different classes of beings, Tantra proffers this helpful list in order to allow discerning spiritual aspirants an understanding of human nature and temperament. Though given as a guide that pertains to people who are already on the path, or who are devotees, this threefold division nevertheless applies to worldly
beings as well. The animalistic, the heroic, and the divine — if mankind were to be examined under this triple lens, it would become clear how people fall into the scheme of evolution and involution, both physically and spiritually.
The Thirty-Six Cosmic Principles of Shaivism #148
Utilizing Lord Kapila’s original twenty-four tattvas as its basis, the various philosophy schools inside of the darshana of Shaivism have fashioned an umbrella of subtle principles over the top, a sort of frosting on the cake of Indian philosophy in general. But much more than a sweetening, the upper twelve tattvas cover a range that had remained hitherto unexplored by most inner travelers of the terrain of consciousness. What was revealed as a result came in the form of vibrational fields too subtle for the mind to fathom through rationale and speculation. Contact with such ultimately living principles as Ishvara and Sadasiva brought to the fore the very meaning of direct darshan with higher deities that stretched far beyond mere visualization. Even a basic study of these spandas alerts the mind to their existence, opening up close relations in the near future.
