॥वातूलनाथसूत्राणि॥ महासाहसवृत्या स्वरूपलामः ॥1॥ By the exposition of Supreme and great courage, the nature of real rapture is acquired. By ascending from Objective and Cognitive worlds, you are established in Subjective Consciousness, but that is not attainment of Universal Self, although you feel oneness of God-Consciousness. You have to descend to the state of Cognitive Consciousness and Objective Consciousness. This is the daring courage and that courage is, keeping the awareness of your real nature. There in that Supreme state the universal Consciousness becomes one with the Objective Consciousness and vice-versa. To put it simply, ''I” becomes “this” and “this” becomes “I”, in that state of perfection. Everybody has got ability to do it as all are rays of the Universal-Consciousness and are inseparable from that universal-Being. - Svāmī Laksmana Joo

​​ŚUDDH TATTVAS ▪︎ From antaḥkaraṇa to māyā was objectivity cum subjectivity. Now tattvas will come in subjectivity i.e. pure subjectivity, purer subjectivity, and purest subjectivity. This is the course of Puruṣa to be done in subjectivity. This is subjective course for Puruṣa to be done for rising. ▪︎ Pure subjectivity is called Śuddhavidyā tattva, when he actually realizes his own nature, but that realization is not stable. That realization is in movement, sometimes you realize it, sometimes you forget it. And this śuddhavidyā-parāmarśaḥ is, I am Śiva this universe is in duality. This universe is unreal, I am Śiva. This impression comes in śuddhavidyā tattva. And this is pure subjectivity. ▪︎ Now purer subjectivity will come in next two tattvas of īśvara tattva and sadāśiva tattva. In īśvara tattva you realize that this universe is my own expansion. It is not illusion. On the contrary this universe is my own expansion. ▪︎ Sadāśiva tattva is more fine, the same but finer than īśvara tattva. In sadāśiva tattva you realize that I am this whole universe. There is difference between that impression and this impression. In īśvara tattva, you’ll repeat. But here in sadāśiva tattva you’ll find, I am this whole universe. I am myself this whole universe. Tattvamasi! ▪︎ Subjectivity in purest form. That is Śakti tattva and Śiva tattva. The impressions in these is only I, pure I, universal I. “I am not this whole universe,” not. “This universe is my own formation,” that also not. Just only I, pure I, universal I. And these two tattvas are interdependent, śakti and śiva. ▪︎ And the last is transcendental being. That is not in tattvas. That won’t come in tattvas. That is called Paramaśiva. And the formation of Paramaśiva is not in Śiva tattva, is not in Śakti tattva only, is not here only, everywhere you will find. You will find him from this point to this tattva. That is transcendental being. Q: So then we can’t say that he is at that one level and then everything comes out, but he is all levels. SWAMIJI: He is all levels. It is why he is no level. He is everywhere it is why he is nowhere. The one being who is everywhere is nowhere. ~ Swamī Lakśhmanjoo

Namah Shivaya 🙏🌺 @Kashmir_Shaivism

​​🌺 Bhagwati Durgā 🌺 The literal meaning of the word 'Durgā' is unapproachable, unattainable, impossible to enter, un- understandable, and so on. 'Durgā' mean quintessentially the one who, like a fortress, protects men of virtue and dispels the darkness of ignorance of her devotees. "Those who have lost their way in the thick forests and so are distressed, those who are caught in the deep seas and are struggling to get out, those who are troubled by enemies, get their problems removed by surrendering to the feet of Durgā. She reside in my mind all the time." ~ Durgā Ćandrikā Durgā is the Supreme Being (Brahma), Its power of Maya also. She alone appears as Sarasvati, Laxmi and Parvati. Thus, by worshipping Durgā one may get all the benefits of worshipping the three devi. The names may be different, but the power behind the names is one and the same. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🌺 ॥  शुभ नवरात्रि  ॥ 🌺 🌺  Shubh Navratri 🌺 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

ॐ नमः शिवाय ॥ शिवात्मकं इदं विश्वं शिवादेव प्रवर्तते। शिवाय शिवगर्भाय शिवः सर्वं प्रचोदयात् ॥ नमो वटुक भैरवाय सर्वभूताय वै नमः। नमः त्रैलोक्यनाथाय नाथनाथाय वै नमः।। यत्र सोऽस्तमयमेति विवस्वान् चन्द्रमः प्रभृतिभिः सह सर्वैः। कापि सा विजयते शिवरात्रि: स्व प्रभा प्रसर भास्वर रूपा ॥ When the Sun, the Moon and all other stars set at the same time, there arises the radiant night of Shiva spreading a splendour of its own, the Shivaratri. ~ Utpaladeva’s Shivastotravali Sun and the Moon are symbols of inhaling and exhaling breath i.e. Prān and Apān, and the stars are the entire thought construction. At junction point known as Madhya Dham, Pran and Apan (प्राण-अपान) is to be set at rest to get the glimpse of Shivaratri. Just as neither the Sun nor the Moon is visible on 'Amavasi' night, similarly when the subject and the object get absorbed into one reality that is called as "Shivaratri". ॐ May Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati shower their blessings on you and your family. Wishing you all a very Happy Mahashivratri! ॐ

🌺 मैथुन 🌺 मैथुन तत्व ही सृष्टि, स्थिति और प्रलय का कारण है। मैथुन द्वारा सिद्धि और ब्रह्मज्ञान की प्राप्ति होती है। नाभि (मणिपुर) चक्र के भीतर कुंकुमाभास तेजसतत्व ‘र’कार है। उसके साथ “आ”कार रूप हंस यानि अजपा-जप द्वारा आज्ञाचक्र स्थित ब्रह्मयोनि के भीतर बिंदु स्वरुप ‘म’कार का मिलन होता है। ऊर्ध्व में स्थिति प्राप्त होने पर ब्रह्मज्ञान का उदय होता है, उस अवस्था में रमण करने का नाम ही “राम” है। इसका वर्णन मुंह से नहीं किया जा सकता। जो साधक सदा आत्मा में रमण करते हैं उनके लिए “राम” तारकमंत्र है। हे देवि, मृत्युकाल में राम नाम जिसके स्मरण में रहे वे स्वयं ही ब्रह्ममय हो जाते हैं। यह आत्मतत्व में स्थित होना ही मैथुन तत्व है। आगमसार○ The Maithun element is the cause of creation, condition and destruction. Siddhi and Brahmagyan are attained by that. Within the navel Manipur chakra is the Kumkumabhas Tejasattva 'Ra'. With it, there is a meeting of the point form 'Ma'kara within the Brahmayoni located in the Aajna Chakra by the "Aa" form of Hans i.e. Ajapa-japa. On attaining the position in the upper part, the knowledge of Brahman emerges, the name of indulging in that state is "Rama". It cannot be described by words. "Rama" is the liberating mantra for those seekers who always rejoice in the Ātma. O Goddess, whoever remembers the name of Rama during his death, he himself becomes Brahmamaya. To be situated in the Self is the Maithuna tatva. मूलाधार से उठकर कुंडलिनी रूपी महाशक्ति का सहस्त्रार स्थित परम ब्रह्म शिव से सायुज्य ही मैथुन है। यामल तंत्र○ Rising from the base, the superpower in the form of Kundalini, unites with the Supreme Brahman Shiva situated in the Sahasrara, that is Maithuna.

🌺 पंचमकारः 🌺 (योगिक) PANĆAMAKĀRA (yogic) मद्यपानेन मनुजो यदि सिद्धिं लभेत वै। मद्यपानरता: सर्वे सिद्धिं गच्छन्तु पामरा: मांसभक्षेणमात्रेण यदि पुण्या गतिर्भवेत। लोके मांसाशिन: सर्वे पुन्यभाजौ भवन्तु ह स्त्री संभोगेन देवेशि यदि मोक्षं लभेत वै। सर्वेsपि जन्तवो लोके मुक्ता:स्यु:स्त्रीनिषेवात॥ कुलार्णव तन्त्र○ मद्यपान द्वारा यदि मनुष्य सिद्धि प्राप्त कर ले तो फिर मद्यपायी पामर व्यक्ति भी सिद्धि प्राप्त कर ले। मांसभक्षण से ही यदि पुण्यगति हो तो सभी मांसाहारी ही पुण्य प्राप्त कर लें। हे देवेशि! सम्भोग द्वारा यदि मोक्ष प्राप्त होता है तो फिर सभी स्त्री-सेवा द्वारा मुक्त हो जाएँ। If a person attains accomplishment by drinking alcohol, then the alcoholic palmer person also attains accomplishment. If there is merit only in eating meat, then all non-vegetarians should attain highest virtue. O goddess! If salvation is achieved by sex, then all should be liberated by service to women. 🌺 मद्य 🌺 सोमधारा क्षरेद या तु ब्रह्मरंध्राद वरानने। पीत्वानंदमयास्तां य: स एव मद्यसाधक: ॥ आगमसार○ हे वरानने! ब्रह्मरंध्र यानि सहस्त्रार से जो अमृतधारा निकलती है उसका पान करने से जो आनंदित होते हैं उन्हें ही मद्य साधक कहते हैं। O beautiful face one! Those who are blissful by drinking the stream of nectar emanating from the Brahmarandhra i.e. Sahasrara, are called Maďya sadhaka. ब्रह्मा का कमण्डलु तालुरंध्र है और हरि का चरण सहस्त्रार है। सहस्त्रार से जो अमृत की धारा तालुरन्ध्र में जिव्हाग्र पर (ऊर्ध्वजिव्हा) आकर गिरती है वही मद्यपान है। इसीलिए ध्यान साधना हमेशा खेचरी मुद्रा में ही करनी चाहिए। The vessel of nector of Brahma is Talurandhra (root of palate) and the feet of Hari is Sahasrara. The stream of nectar from the Sahastrar that comes and falls on the tongue in Talurandhra, that is drinking of nector (Maďyapān). That is why meditation should always be done in Khechari Mudra. 🌺 मांस 🌺 माँ शब्दाद्रसना ज्ञेया तदंशान रसना प्रियान । सदा यो भक्षयेद्देवि स एव मांससाधक: ॥ आगमसार○ अर्थात मा शब्द से रसना, और रसना का अंश है वाक्य, जो रसना को प्रिय है। जो व्यक्ति रसना का भक्षण करते हैं यानी वाक्य संयम करते हैं उन्हें ही मांस साधक कहते हैं। जिह्वा के संयम से वाक्य का संयम स्वत: ही खेचरी मुद्रा में होता है। तालू के मूल में जीभ का प्रवेश कराने से बात नहीं हो सकती और इस खेचरीमुद्रा का अभ्यास करते करते अनावश्यक बात करने की इच्छा समाप्त हो जाती है, इसे ही मांस भक्षण कहते हैं। That is, the word 'Rasna' is from the word 'Ma', and part of 'Rasna' is sentence, which is dear to Rasna. The person who consumes Rasna, that is, restrains the speech, only they are called Mānsa sadhaka. With the restrain of the tongue, the restraint of the sentence automatically takes place in Khechari Mudra. By introducing the tongue into the root of the palate, one cannot talk and while practicing this Khechari mudra, the desire to talk unnecessary ends, this is called savouring Mānsa. 🌺 मत्स्य 🌺 गंगायमुनयोर्मध्ये मत्स्यौ द्वौ चरत: सदा। तौ मत्स्यौ भक्षयेद यस्तु स: भवेन मत्स्य साधक:॥ आगमसार○ अर्थान गंगा यानि इड़ा, और यमुना यानि पिंगला; इन दो नाड़ियों के बीच सुषुम्ना में जो श्वास-प्रश्वास गतिशील है वही मत्स्य है। जो योगी आतंरिक प्राणायाम द्वारा सुषुम्ना में बह रहे प्राण तत्व को नियंत्रित कर लेते हैं वे ही मत्स्य साधक हैं। i.e. Ganga means Ida, and Yamuna means Pingala; Between these two nadis, the breathing movement in the sushumna is the Matsya. Only those yogis who can control the life element flowing in the sushumna through internal pranayama are Matsya Sadhaks. 🌺 मुद्रा 🌺 सहस्त्रारे महापद्मे कर्णिका मुद्रिता चरेत। आत्मा तत्रैव देवेशि केवलं पारदोपमं सूर्यकोटि प्रतीकाशं चन्द्रकोटि सुशीतलं। अतीव कमनीयंच महाकुंडलिनियुतं। यस्य ज्ञानोदयस्तत्र मुद्रासाधक उच्यते॥ आगमसार○ सहस्त्रार के महापद्म में कर्णिका के भीतर पारद की तरह स्वच्छ निर्मल करोड़ों सूर्य-चंद्रों की आभा से भी अधिक प्रकाशमान ज्योतिर्मय सुशीतल अत्यंत कमनीय महाकुंडलिनी से संयुक्त जो आत्मा विराजमान है उसे जिन्होंने जान लिया है वे मुद्रा साधक हैं। In the supreme petal of Sahasrar, those who have come to know that the soul that sits qualified with Maha Kundalini, within the Karnika, as pure as the aura of millions of suns and moons, is more luminous than the aura of the brightest, are Muďrā sadhaka.

🌺 पञ्चमकारस्तोत्रम् 🌺 (ज्ञान लक्ष्य) PANĆAMAKĀRA STOTRAM पार्वत्युवाच- देवदेव जगन्नाथ! कृपाकर! मयि प्रभो! आगमोक्त-मकारांश्च ज्ञानमार्गेण ब्रूहि मे ॥ १॥ हे जगन्नाथ, देवों के देव प्रभु, कृपा करके मुझे आगमोक्त मकारों को ज्ञानमार्ग से परिभाषित करके समझाइए। O Jagannath, Lord of the Gods, please explain to me the path of knowledge of makaras, by defining them according to āgamās. 🌺 मद्य - Maďya ईश्वर उवाच- कलाः सप्तदश प्रोक्ता अमृतं स्राव्यते शशी । प्रथमा सा विजानीया- दितरे मद्यपायिनः ॥ २॥ हे देवि, सप्तदश कलाएं कही गई हैं और चंद्रमा अमृत का स्रवण करता है। वही प्रथम मकार- मद्य है। शेष अन्य तो मदिरा मात्र हैं। O Goddess, the seventeen arts are there and the moon secretes the nectar. That is the first Makara – Maďya. The rest are just liquor. 🌺 मांस - Māns कर्माकर्मपशून् हत्वा ज्ञानखड्गेन चैव हि । द्वितीयं विन्दते येन इतरे मांसभक्षकाः ॥ ३॥ जो ज्ञान खड्ग के द्वारा कर्म और अकर्म रूप पशुओं का हनन करता है, वह द्वितीय मकार- मांस है। अन्य तो केवल मांसाहारी ही हैं। The one who kills karma and inaction form animals, with the help of the knife of knowledge, is the second makara- Māmsa. Others are only carnivores. 🌺 मत्स्य - Matsya मनोमीनं तृतीयं च हत्वा सङ्कल्प-कल्पनाः । स्वरूपाकार वृत्तिश्च शुद्धं मीनं तदुच्यते ॥ ४॥ मन रूपी मत्स्य का दमन करके व्यर्थ के संकल्पों को नष्ट कर स्वरूपाकार वृत्ति का संकल्प करना तृतीय मकार- मत्स्य है। यही शुद्ध मीन कहलाता है। By suppressing the fish like mind and destroying the useless thoughts and making a resolution of the essential nature in the form of essential nature, is the third makara- Matsya. This is called as the pure fish. 🌺 मुद्रा - Mudra चतुर्थं भक्ष्यभोज्यं न भक्ष्यमिन्द्रिय-निग्रहम् । सा चतुर्थी विजानीयादि- तरे भ्रष्टकारकाः ॥ ५॥ चतुर्थ मकार- मुद्रा वस्तुतः भक्ष्य, भोज्य, अन्न और इंद्रियों का निग्रह है। जो लोग अन्य मुद्राओं का आश्रय लेते हैं, वे भ्रष्टकर्मा हैं। Fourth makara- Mudra is essentially being free of the enjoyables (bhojya), enjoying (bhakśya), enjoyer (bhokta) and the senses. Those who take shelter of other mudrā's are deceiving themselves 🌺 मैथुन - Maithuna हंसः सोऽहं शिवः शक्ति- र्द्राव आनन्दनिर्मलाः । विज्ञेया पञ्चमीतीद- मितरे तिर्यगामिनेः ॥ ६॥ ‘हंस सोहं’ स्वरूप शिव-शक्ति का परम कृपापूर्ण सामरस्य ही पंचम मकार- मैथुन है। The most gracious harmony of Shiva-Shakti in the form of 'Hansa Soham' is the fifth makara- Maithuna. स द्रावश्चक्षुः पात्रेण पूज्यते यत्र उन्मनी । दिद्युल्लेखाशिवैकेमां साध्यन्ते दैवसाधकाः ॥ ७॥ इस अवस्था में नेत्र रूपी पात्र से उन्मनी की पूजा की जाती है। यही पूर्ण कला है। देव-साधक इसी की साधना करते हैं। In this stage, Unmani is worshiped with a vessel in the form of eyes. This is the perfect art (kalā). Dev- sadhakas do this sadhna. पूजकस्तन्मयानन्दः पूज्य-पूजकवर्जितः । स्वसंवेद्य-महानन्दस्- तन्मयं पूज्यते सदा ॥ ८॥ इसमें पूजा और पूजक भाव से मुक्त होकर साधक तन्मयानंद प्राप्त करता है तथा अंत में स्वयंवेद्य महानंद का लाभ प्राप्त करता है। In this, the seeker attains bliss in rapture, free from the worship and worshipped spirit, and in the end, he gets the benefit of Mahananda of their nature. ~ श्रीरुद्रयामले उमामहेश्वरसंवादे पञ्चमकारस्तोत्रं।

While breathing in and out, recite "sa" (exhale) and "ha” (inhale)- So’haṁ. So'haṁ is the mantra for this practice, but internally.

From Bāhya Dvādaśānta to Hridaya (heart), is Jīvaḥ, the in-going breath, represented by "ha". In two starting points, recite “h” visarga of "sa" in the outward Dvādaśānta and "m”-kāra visarga of "ha" in the heart. There, supreme energy which is full of visarga, appears. In these two starting points, if you concentrate, you will become one with Bhairava because of its fullness. ⁃ Vigyan Bhairav Tantra manual of self realisation by Swami Laxman joo
