Author: Harish Damodaran
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1300513608
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
Saiva Siddhanta is a special philosophy of Saivism. Saivism is a general name used to denote a number of Indian schools of thought that regard Lord Siva or Paramesvara as the supreme deity. Saivism is one of oldest schools of thought in the world. Even today, it is alive as an inspiring and inviting way of philosophizing and practiced as a religion by millions of people, not only in India, but all over the world. It stretches out across the sea to Farther India and the Archipelago and the mountain to central Asia. No other single religion, alive or extinct, in the entire world can boast of such an antiquity, as Saivism owns. This book is but an attempt to introduce the Philosophy of Saiva Siddhanta in order to serve the purpose of beginners- a work for the beginner and of course, by the beginner.

Sacred Sound and Language in Classical Śaiva SiddhĀnta
Author: Mikael Stamm
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788797156605
Category : India
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
"This book attempts to reveal the full implication of the theory of language propounded by the tradition of Indian classical dualist Śaiva Siddhānta. The first part of the study draws an outline of dualist Śaiva Siddhānta withing the contextual setting of Tantric cults. The second part explores the field of theories of language through the discussion between three classical Indian traditions: Mīmāṁsā, Nyāyā, and the school of Bhartṛhari. The third part focuses on the important Śaiva Siddhānta text Nādakārikā by Rāmakaṇṭha, which is translated, analyzed and interpreted in the light of the classical traditions. In the fourth part the findings are further connected to the crucial initiation ritual, the dīkṣā, which shows the theory of nāda (subtle sound) 'in action', not unlike the role of eternal sounds within the orthodox Mīmāṁsā tradition. In the fifth part the dualist Śaiva Siddhānta is presented as a theory of language and sound which points to a radical concept of a (non)existent Self, as a pre-conceptual absolute 'Other' behind the pervasive matter. Thus, liberation is seen as an absolute event, manifested in speech as holding both a revealing and concealing potential; a tension or a strife which ultimately, in Heidegger's terms, conditions the fate of possibility of the (re)appearing of gods."--Back cover.

The Concept of Bondage and Liberation in SAIVA SIDDHANTA AND ADVAITA
Author: Harish Damodaran
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1300519231
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
A unique feature of all the different schools of Indian philosophy is that, irrespective of being orthodox or heterodox, they always struggle to answer the problem of the bondage and the liberation. Both the philosophies; Advaita and Saiva Siddhanta are no exceptions. Together they accept the existence of the bondage that keeps the individual self away from the realization of the absolute self and strive to find the most probable way of breaking down the bonds for gaining the ultimate freedom. This book is a critical approach to compare the ways in which both the schools of Saiva Siddhanta and Advaita attempt to solve the vital problem of bondage and liberation.
