This book was released on 2017-03-10 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Siddhanta means doctrine, and Shikhamani means crest-jewel. Siddhanta Shikhamani is said to be the crest-jewel of all the doctrines. It is considered to be one of the scriptures, if not the main scripture, of the Veerashaivas, the main scripture being the Shunya Sampadane. Siddhanta Shikhamani is said to be the foremost authority on the religion and philosophy of Veerashaivism. The primitive traits of Veerashaivism in the Vedas and the Upanishads find a complete and comprehensive exposition in Siddhanta Shikhamani. It is a teaching of the doctrine of 101 sthalas/stages. It harmonizes the concepts of duality and non-duality (oneness). The original was composed in Sanskrit by Shri Shivayogi Shivacharya. It has been edited with introduction, translation and notes in English by Dr. M. Sivakumara Swamy, M. A., Ph. D., and published in 2007 by Shaiva Bharati Shodha Pratisthan, Jangamwadi Math, Varanasi-221 001, India. Almost all of what is in this concise composition of the present book is taken from Dr. Sivakumara Swamy's reference book.

Book excerpt: Siddhānta means doctrine, and Śikhāmaṇi means crest-jewel. Siddhᾱnta Śikhᾱmaṇi is said to be the crest-jewel of all the doctrines. It is considered to be one of the scriptures, if not the main scripture, of the Vīraśaivas, the main scripture being the Śūnya Saṁpādane. The primitive traits of Vīraśaivism in the Vēdas and the Upaniṣads, and the concrete features given to it in the latter parts of the Śivᾱgamas, find a complete and comprehensive exposition in Siddhᾱnta Śikhᾱmaṇi. It is a teaching of the doctrine of 101 sthalas/stages. It harmonizes the concepts of duality and non-duality (oneness). The original was composed in Sanskrit by Śrī Śivayōgi Śivāĉārya sometime between the 8th and the 10th centuries CE. It has been edited with introduction, translation and notes in English by Dr. M. Sivakumara Swamy, M. A., Ph. D., and published in 2007 by Shaiva Bharati Shodha Pratisthan, Jangamwadi Math, Varanasi-221 001, India.

Book excerpt: Shunya Sampadane means attainment of Shunya, the Absolute State. The term 'Shunya Sampadane' is also used to mean the text of the vachanas compiled in the form of a document or a book with a title of Shunya Sampadane. Vachana is a rhythmic prose. Shunya Sampadane is the main scripture of the Veerashaivas. It is said that the Upanishads are the authorities for the formulation of the religious as well as the philosophical concepts of Veerashaivas. Shunya Sampadane is the quintessence of the Veerashaiva Philosophy. It is composed mainly in the form of discourses between various Veerashaiva Philosophers. The central figure of Shunya Sampadane is Allama Prabhudeva. In the concluding remarks, Shunya Sampadane gives this list of nine statements:1. This is the best guide, the philosophical system of exalted Veerashaiva doctrine.2. This is that which expounds and firmly establishes the Veerashaiva practice.3. This is the crest-jewel of the divine Vedanta.4. This is the chief mirror of all the sciences.5. This is the teaching of the highest Experience to promote the Supreme Knowledge.6. This is a catalogue of those who, endowed with all kinds of religious practice, have attained the Height.7. This is a treasury of the attainment of the great Raja Yoga.8. This is a happy feast of the ambrosial essence of Existence-Consciousness-Bliss, eternal and perfect.9. This is a great conference of Prabhudeva on the attainment of Shunya - an instrument to remove ignorance.

Book excerpt: Here is the first translation into English of the Basava Purana, a fascinating collection of tales that sums up and characterizes one of the most important and most radical religious groups of South India. The ideas of the Virasaivas, or militant Saivas, are represented in those tales by an intriguing mix of outrageous excess and traditional conservatism. Written in Telugu in the thirteenth century, the Basava Purana is an anthology of legends of Virasaivas saints and a hagiography of Basavesvara, the twelfth-century Virasaiva leader. This translation makes accessible a completely new perspective on this significant religious group. Although Telugu is one of the major cultural traditions of India, with a classical literature reaching back to the eleventh century, until now there has been no translation or exposition of any of the Telugu Virasaiva works in English. The introduction orients the reader to the text and helps in an understanding of the poet's point of view. The author of the Basava Purana, Palkuriki Somanatha, is revered as a saint by Virasaivas in Andhra and Karnataka. His books are regarded as sacred texts, and he is also considered to be a major poet in Telugu and Kannada. Originally published in 1990. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Northern Part Of Karnataka Is One Of The Richest Areas Of India In Monuments Of Great Artistic Value. It Was Subjected To The Rule Of Several Royal Families, Calukyas Of Kalyana, Kalacuris And Seunas In The 10Th, 11Th, 12Th And 13Th Centuries A.D. Which Has Been A Period Of Great Cultural Refinement. It Was The Time Of The Greatest Expansion Of The Kalamukha-Lakulasaiva Movements, And Of The Rise Of Virasaivism. The Temple Of Muktesvara At Caudadanapura (Dharwar District) Is A Beautiful Representative Of The Style And The High Culture Of That Time. Its History Is Known To Us Thanks To A Set Of Seven Long Inscriptions, Composed In Literary Medieval Kannada, Engraved With Great Care On Large Steles. They Provide Informations On The Local Rulers, Kings Of Guttala Who Claimed A Gupta Ascendancy, On Some Constructions In The Temple Complex, On Diverse Donations To The Deity, And Very Interesting Details On A Few Prominent Religious Leaders. It Introduces To Us Muktajiyar, A Lakulasaiva Saint, And Sivadeva, A Virasaiva Saint, Who Entered The Place On The 19 Th Of August 1225 And Led There A Long Life Of Renunciation, Asceticism And Spiritual Elevation. The Legacy Of This Age Of Intense Saivite Faith Is A Jewel Of Architecture And Sculpture. It Is A Single Cella Temple In What Is Popularly Known As Jakkanacari Style, Sometimes Called Kalyana-Calukyan Style, Which Is Not Appropriate, As Many Temples Of The Same Style Have Also Been Built Under The Patronage Of Kalacuri Or Seuna Dynasties. The Present Study Contains A Historical Introduction, The Complete Edition, Translation And Interpretation Of The Inscriptions, An Architectural Description, With A Graphic Survey, And An Iconographical Analysis.

This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hinduism is unique in the sense that, not only it is the most ancient continuously practiced religion, but also has the most amount of sacred material than any other religion. The sacred Hindu scriptures are placed into three categories, namely Shruti, Smriti, and a subsidiary category. Shruti scriptures are the Vedas including the Upanishads. Shruti texts are the most sacred Hindu scriptures. A brief review of the Shruti scriptures is given in another of my books. This book is a brief review of the Smriti texts and the subsidiary category texts. Smriti means what is remembered. The scriptures belonging to smriti category have secondary authority only. There is a multitude of smriti texts. The main scriptures that come under smriti texts are: The two great epics Ramayana and Mahabharata (Bhagavad-Gita is part of Mahabharata), Puranas, and Dharma Shastras. The subsidiary category includes Darshanas, Tantras, and Shivagamas. Darshanas are the six philosophical systems that are based on the Vedas and developed by six sages. The Darshana scriptures are called Dharma-sutras. The most famous of the sutras is the Brahma-sutras. Another set of scriptures, parallel to the Vedic scriptures, is called Tantra. The Tantric literature mainly consists that of Shaktism. Shivagamas are the basic scriptures of the Shaivas. In this second edition book, new articles have been included, Vishnu Purana has been vastly expanded, and many other articles have been improved.

These heroic followers of Siva-also called Lingayatas-are characterized by a unique combination of intense devotion and social reformation. The movement arose in the twelfth century under the charismatic leadership of Basava. Men and women from every backgroud, highcaste as well as untouchable, joined the experimental community of the Virasaivas. They has their own sacred literature in the form of short poems in the vernacular language of the region: Kannada.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book on which this commentary is written is titled 'History and Philosophy of Liṅgᾱyat Religion' by M. R. Sakhare, M. A., T. D. (Cantab), published by the Karnatak University, Dharwad, India, in the year 1978. During the process of continued study and understanding of the available sacred literature, and writing ten books in the past, it was evident to me that I had referred to a book by Professor M. R. Sakhare called 'History and Philosophy of Liṅgᾱyat Religion' published by Karnatak University, Dharwad, India. It appears that this scholarly work, in English, of Professor Sakhare was frequently referred to in the past by the students of Philosophy and Religion in order to seek further insight into the Religious Philosophy of Liṅgᾱyatas who are also known as Vīraśaivas. Although the book had been regarded as one of the authentic works in English on this subject, some questions have been raised as to its usefulness as a reference book in the present day circumstances. With this in mind, the book was reviewed, and then, as it seemed appropriate to report the findings, this commentary has been submitted to the interested and concerned readers. This is a critical review.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kabbalah has gained notoriety in recent years, thanks in large part to a publicity boost from celebrity adherents like Madonna. Yet the uninitiated may be surprised to learn that Jewish mysticism has been practiced for thousands of years. First published in 1929, The Holy Kabbalah is Arthur E. Waite's guide to these esoteric teachings. Divided into twelve books, with five appendices and a detailed index, this heavily researched volume traces the origins of Kabbalah and examines its influence (if any) on astrology, alchemy, and freemasonry. Including a close look at Kabbalistic literature, and sections on the Zohar and the Ten Sephiroth, this volume will serve as an excellent introduction to the secret tradition for those wanting to learn more about Kabbalah out of scholarship or curiosity. American-born British author ARTHUR EDWARD WAITE (1857-1942) was cocreator of the famous 1910 Rider-Waite Tarot deck. Among his numerous books are Book of Ceremonial Magic, Devil Worship in France, and New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term 'vachana' refers to a rhythmic prose type of composition in the Kannada Language. This book exclusively deals with the vachanas of Basavanna and his twelfth century contemporaries. These vachanas depict the Sharana Philosophy and Practice. In the twelfth century, the vachanas were widely used to propagate spiritual knowledge and the right way of life among the masses. The vachanas were simple in form, and were in the everyday language of the people of Karnataka in India. Extracting information from about 293 vachanas seems to have resulted in the unbiased essence of the Sharana Philosophy and practices depicted in the vachanas.
