About Siva’s Book of 112 Meditations

1

Siva’s book is comprehensive and it comes with a guarantee: that anyone and everyone can find a suitable meditation in its pages.

The commentaries herein are designed to explore some aspects of Siva’s sutras and to help the student use this book as a practical guide to meditation.

The ‘Radiant One’ Siva addresses throughout is his consort, Parvati, who asks the questions which begin the text:

“Oh Shiva, what is your reality?What is this wonder-filled universe?What constitutes seed?Who centres the universal wheel?What is this life beyond form pervading forms?How may we enter it fully, above space and time, names and descriptions?Let my doubts be cleared!”

Vigyan Bhairav Tantra was first published over 5,000 years ago.

Most of the meditations can be done in 15 to 20 minutes sessions, in the beginning, using a suitable timer, while some are dynamic and take just moments.

The source text is adapted from ‘Centering’, by Paul Reps.
