KASHMIRI SHAIVISM FUSION

Experience the highest and most transcendent form of Yoga, representing a fundamental outlook on the universe.

Led by: Swami Vivekananda Saraswati

The Kashmiri Shaivism Fusion combines Agama’s Kashmiri Shaivism Introduction Workshop, and Kashmiri Shaivism Intensive Practice.

Agama Kashmiri Shaivism Introduction Workshop-

In this 6-day workshop, students have the opportunity to understand the true nature of Agama’s Tantric tradition through a profound transmission from Swami Vivekananda Saraswati on one of his most cherished subjects. Not only has Swami carried out many of his own translations of these teachings in his capacity as a minor Sanskritologist, but he is also one of the few remaining experts in this system, one of the world’s spiritual treasures.

Kashmiri Shaivism is considered the highest, most exclusive, and most transcendent Yoga, representing a fundamental outlook on the universe. The first steps on this path are practices that are already advanced. This course represents a rare, accessible presentation of Kashmiri Shaivism and provides extensive theoretical explanation as well as practical exercises, involving a great deal of spiritual transmission and initiation. Simply a reading (svadhyaya) of these very intellectual texts creates an incredible spiritual resonance, a meditation opening sahasrara, the crown chakra. This is a non-dual philosophy that proposes a very quick spiritual evolution for the aspirant and differentiates many states of higher consciousness and samadhi, or void.

In this workshop, students will receive practical initiations in esoteric meditation methods including:

• the original Tantric Vipassana
• the use of mentalization and emotions (bhavana)
• the fundamental monistic meditation (“I am”)
• use of the mandela of the trident
• and many others not distinctly spelled out here

Kashmiri Shaivism Intensive Practice-

Agama Yoga’s teachings on Kashmiri Shaivism are legendary among both beginning students and seasoned practitioners alike, and the workshop on this subject is beloved as a perennial source of spiritual enlightenment and inspiration for attendees. Those who have been brought into contact with these amazing teachings naturally wish to experience them deeply and intensely. For this reason, Agama offers an 8-day Kashmiri Shaivism retreat with Swami Vivekananda designed as an immediate continuation and deepening of the introductory workshop. In a classical silent meditation retreat format, the Shaivist teachings and methods will be practically explored and applied in an intensive, supportive atmosphere in which the participants can fully immerse themselves.

This retreat features the exclusive practice of Kashmiri Yoga techniques. These esoteric meditation methods of the Shaivas include the original Tantric Vipassana, Shudavikalpa methods, use of mentalization and emotions (bhavana), the fundamental monistic meditation (“I am”), the mandala of the trident, and others not distinctly spelled out here. This lineage, representing one of the world’s spiritual treasures, casts an incredible spiritual resonance with sahasrara, the crown chakra. Join us for this deep practical journey into the supremely elevated Kashmiri Shaivist teachings.
