Hymns to Shiva: Songs of Devotion in Kashmir Shaivism; Utpaladeva's Śhivastotrāvalī - Hardcover

by John Hughes (Editor), Swami Lakshmanjoo (Author)

The enchanting verses that comprise our newest publication, Festival of Devotion & Praise were born on Kashmir Valley's picturesque Dal Lake as an inspirational outpouring of devotion from the heart of the medieval Kashmiri spiritual master and mystic Utpaladeva. These hymns are so profound they have the power to free the devoted reader from the restrictions of their intellect and instantaneously elevate them to the experience of oneness with the very nature of their own divine consciousness.
When commenting on this text Swami Lakshmanjoo would tell his devotees that, as Utpaladeva continually teaches us through these beautiful hymns, "devotion, or passion for God consciousness is everything". The reader will personally witness this for themselves when they experience Swami Lakshmanjoo's narrative as he, himself, becomes filled with emotion and longing for God.
