Spandakarika

A commentary on the 8th century Kashmir Shaivism text Spanda Karika (Verses on Divine Pulsation). Modern physics agrees that the universe is a vibration of energy. The main theme of this book is that one can remain aware of Supreme Consciousness in every moment of daily life. The experience transcends any religion, nationality, gender, family, upbringing, or formal education. This book is based on lectures given during weekly satsangs, prayer meetings, of the meditation center the authors ran from 1975 until 1982 under the guidance of their Guru, Swami Muktananda. This book is a testimonial that sadhana can be carried out under the guidance of a competent Guru while leading a householder life, even in New York City. The authors are professors of mathematics in two colleges of the City University of New York.
