Pallavi Kwatra

Shiva & Shakti are not beings but forms of consciousness that come together to complement each other and make a wholesome one. As the globalization of truth, they blend and complete each other through their unique energy imprints. It might sound lucrative to believe Shiva and Shakti to be some individuals or persons or Gods and to seek them outside us to complete our story sounds like an easy way out. The search for them outside will forever disillusion us as we fall into the trap of identities and personas. It is vital for each one of us to remain as a silent unbiased witness to these two energies coupling and intermingling in divine union.Vigyan Bhairav Tantra book arises from such an inspiration where their longing and mating has been observed from a neutral standpoint. As Shakti inquires, Shiva responds and illuminates. And then they rejoice in the celebration of wisdom illuminations and their eternal love lock. Advaita, tantra, yoga and all concepts are various ways their sambhoga (sacred ritual of communion) fructifies.In my own journey, the Sri chakra symbolically connotes this fusion where the Shiva and Shakti archetypes find themselves in an ars erotica at its "bindu". My guru, Bhagwan Ramana Maharishi is its physical manifestation. In him; I find my forte of jnana of Shiva and the karuna (compassion) of Shakti.Inspired from the vignana bhairava tantra, 112 such talks have been compiled here. They do not come from any scriptural source and are not meant to be practised as reference points in one's spiritual journey. They are the sukshm (subtle) murmerings that happen at the hridhyam (heart) and are only meant to nudge the reader to do his own inner work.

The orgasmic maithuna (sacred sexual ritual of union) between the Inner Shakti and Shiva finds expression through these 112 set of talks between them. The VIGYAAN BHAIRAVA TANTRA as its inspiration; enticing, illuminating and full of rasa....They bring the reader to be inspired to search within and have his own such interactions.Free from the bigotry of duality, these talks are an impressum of the voices within us bringing us to new perceptions of a global and wholesome self that we essentially are.May you enjoy the Sambhoga

Love is all there is to this world which makes it what it is. Without it, the rest never makes sense. Using love as a tool for self-realization, the author of this book indulges in it with devotion to bringing to light this simple and holistic technique to know the self. The beloved though appears as a separate entity is a bridge between the soul self and its divine reflections. Through the medium of poetry & couplets, Dr. Pallavi Kwatra renders her heart na ve to the brevity of love. This journey must land her to where it all began, her own heart. Dr. Pallavi's life crystallized into an incarnation of grace when love became her guiding light and her spiritual insignia. Travel on to journey with her to the depths of your own heart and uncover its treasures in tenderness and awe.

Bhagwan Ramana Maharishi is the embodiment of silence...the depths of which can stun the mind and words into a silent abyss of peace, the inner spanda (vibration) and the sphurna (remembrance) of the self.From the nidus of this silence, there arose occasionally; few words from him that mutilated the illusions and hammered the mind to inquire into its source, dissolving its fake identity.This book is a collection of 108 such mutterings from the kosha ( sheath) of this silent sage. An immersing ....without a recovery from it is the apt way to absorb the inscribing. A milieu in which one gets thrown back at one self........again, again and yet again.

Shambhavi also reflects the transition zone when the day is almost at an end and the night has begun to take over. Thus, depicting Shakti as her various swaroopas (forms) transitioning from the benevolent and beautiful one to the ferocious and raw energy on the other. She cannot be co notated as a single identity as she flows like a river between the banks of paradoxes. The one who can acknowledge her variable identities and yet know that she transcends all identity is her qualified recipient and will surf the tides of samsara.This book portrays her in her 111 forms, the baseline principle remaining her nirguna, niraakar swaroopa. As the reader flows through the book, his own conditioning to see her as the form is fractured and he is laid open at her altar...for a similar transcendence and freedom. This book is a study of various forms of Shakti across the world as the Dasamahavidya book, Saptamatrika book, 64 Yogini book & other 30 miscellaneous Goddesses from various world traditions can enable one to witness her in myriad ways and shapes.
