Course Details
Kashmiri Shaivism is a pure, idealistic philosophical system of knowledge, that might be considered from this standpoint closest to the German idealistic philosophy of Kant, Husserl and Heidegger than to classical yoga. Nevertheless, there are a few texts which were designed by Abhinavagupta in order to offer in the same time a clear spiritual vision upon the manifestation and the possibility of a practical, efficient approach in order to easily attain enlightenment and liberation even for those not versed in the hardcore tradition of Shaivism. Paramarthasara is one of those texts. It offers at the same time a clear description of the process of manifestation, starting with the gradual limitation of the eternal being, continuing with the description of the condition of the soul, his limitations and karmic conditioning, and a clear path, based upon the action of the spiritual practice and the Divine Grace, towards the supreme stage of regaining the autonomy and freedom of the Shiva consciousness.
By participating in this workshop you will be in the same time introduced to the high-level Kashmiri Shaiva teachings and also you will be guided, based upon those teachings, in order to experience yourself the ultimate consciousness.
We strongly recommend that participants see the first and second workshop before attending the third one. We have a recording available HERE
The Paramarthasara workshop is a true blessing
The Paramarthasara workshop is a true blessing for any seeker interested in a deep dive into the ocean of true spiritual knowledge. The journey through this beautiful text elevates the spirit and deepens one’s understanding of the nature of reality, from gross to subtle.
However, this would not have been possible without the commentary and the invaluable guidance of Bodhananda, whose support is essential to grasp the meanings and connections that otherwise lie hidden in plain sight.
Moreover, the field of consciousness that opens up in his presence allows for deep meditative states and a flow of blessings, along with initiations into many special aspects of the Supreme. These are true and rare gems, that one should consider oneself lucky to receive in the span of many lifetimes of evolution.
That’s why I cannot recommend this workshop enough.
