Overview:
This course provides a deep introduction to the philosophy, practice and audio explication of Dr. Mark Dyczkowski’s translation of The Shiva Sutras, The Aphorisms of Siva, which was originally published by SUNY Press in 1992. Dr. Dyczkowski goes through each of the 3 sections in detail verse by verse over 60 lectures, providing contextual and comparative explanations of three translations (Kshemaraja, Bhaskara and an anonymous translator). Dr. Dyczkowski systematically unpacks this sophisticated integrative work into its components and offers detailed explanation. This is a perfect serious introduction to the world of Kashmir Shaivism, and provides a good spiritual grounding to engage in the more advanced course offerings on our site, such as the Tantrāloka Home Study Course. This is a great addition to build on top of The Doctrine of Vibration Course.
Here is a short 15 minute introduction to the text and some context
