Shiva Tales: Aldous Huxley On Shiva The Destroyer

"Shiva is the one who brings forth, sustains, and dissolves. He is the one with neither start nor finish."

"Nataraja is beyond shape and time. Shiva is the source of all." — The Vedas

From the ancient teachings of the Vedas, few divine expressions are as enigmatic as those of Lord Shiva. Called the master of change and the essence of destruction, Shiva exists beyond understanding. He does not fit within a single name or purpose; He stands for the eternal and infinite powers that move the cosmos and all beyond.

Shiva is commonly depicted as a meditating ascetic, still and timeless, holding the purest awareness both within and without. He stands as the perfect embodiment of harmony, the ever-shifting power that unites all dualities and guides us through the endless cycle of birth and decay, creation, and ultimately, awakening. His mighty, unending dance—the Tandava—reveals the universe’s eternal motion, the sacred beat that keeps all things alive. His message calls out to the infinite strength that lies dormant within all.

In this stirring audiobook from Sripad Jagannatha Das, a yogi with five decades of practice, you’ll be taken into the profound, timeless truth of Shiva’s message as it applies to yoga—the union of the mind, body, and spirit with the cosmic flow. Shiva Yoga opens a path to deep reflection, calling forth the light of inner truth and unity with the boundless Shiva presence within.

This audiobook isn’t merely a study of Shiva’s past or form. It is a rare roadmap to touching the Divine energy as it breathes in every second, in every movement, and in every element of life. Be ready to awaken your spirit and open your being to the vastness of truth in the journey of Shiva Yoga.

With a rare narration by Aldous Huxley.
