"This whole universe has come into existence just to carry
you to God consciousness." - Swami Lakshmanjoo, The
Shiva Sutras
Immersing my days in this sacred text is a source of unending joy for me, which
I hope is contagious. It is my hope that my sincere, if somewhat humble
impressions of these great sutras will encourage you to read their superbly
powerful words of wisdom. I am not a scholar. You will find your own treasure
hidden among these threads.
John and Denise Hughes, the hearts of the Universal Shaiva Fellowship, have been
very kind in giving me permission to quote from Swami Lakshmanjoo’s Shiva
Sutras, The Supreme Awakening. Swami Lakshmanjoo was also the source for Jaideva
Singh’s wonderful translation.
I am endeavoring to use as few Sanskrit terms as possible and will not include
many of the more complex understandings in Kashmir Shaivism. You will want to
study these for yourself, and become familiar with the Sanskrit terms in the
translations and commentaries by Swami Lakshmanjoo and Jaideva Singh.
The Shiva Sutras will serve as a brilliant unerring guide for you on your way
Home. May you find the God within you. We Meet in the Heart.
