In the summer of 1987, Swami Lakshmanjoo began compiling what he considered to be the most important verses (ślokas) from the various scriptures (śāstras) that he had studied throughout his life. Although these verses are primarily from Kashmir Shaivite sources, Swamiji also included verses from Vedāntic texts such as the Yoga Vāsiṣtha and the Rāmāyaṇa. Swamiji tells us: “They are for your daily recitation. Maybe sometime you will experience these stages.”
As with other texts published by the Lakshmanjoo Academy, this book, The Wisdom of Kashmir Shaivism, is a carefully edited transcript along with footnotes, the bulk of which are extracts from Swamiji’s own explanations, and an appendix. We have provided links for downloadable audio which comprise this volume. The streaming video of the lectures is also available. The appendix includes a complete list of the Wisdom Verses for recitation, along with Swamiji’s translations of the Krama Stotra, the Anuttarāṣṭikā, the Bhairava Stotra, the Dehasthadevatācakra Stotra, and The Sixteen Amṛtas.

The free downloadable audio recording accompanying this book is the original audio upon which this book is based. As always Swami Lakshmanjoo based his teachings on the oral tradition of Kashmir Shaivism, its scriptures and foremost, his own experience.
