Both Kulārṇava Tantra and Yoga Cūḍāmaṇi Upaniṣad speak about parāprāsāda mantra. This is also known as prāsādaparā mantra. The mantra is “hamsa” and is generally known as hamsa mantra. Hamsa is the combination of ha and sa, where ha refers to Brahman and sa refers to Śiva. This mantra is aligned with our normal breath of 21,600 times in 24 hour time. By knowing the significance of this mantra (hamsa), if one breaths 21,600 times, he becomes one with Śiva. This is the crux of parāprāsāda mantra or prāsādaparā mantra.

Thank you for enlightening me on "Śāmbhavi Vidyā". You said "the state of oneness with Śiva can be attained through śāmbhavi mudra" Can you share the technique of "śāmbhavi mudra" and "śāmbhavi meditation process please.

Śāmbhavi Vidyā is knowledge about Śiva. When one is pervaded by Śiva consciousness, He is known as śāmbhava pramātā. The resultant state is Bliss. This state can be attained only through meditation, disconnecting all other thought processes. The state of oneness with Śiva can be attained through śāmbhavi mudra. Wherever śāmbhava or śāmbhavi is used, it means highest level of consciousness or Śiva Consciousness.

Hello Ravi, Do you something about "Shambhavi Vidya....While watching a Song video on Shiva ,this came in my mind from nowhere and I never heard about it before. I just read now that "Shambhavi Vidya" is the healing eye of Shiva. Hope you can help me to know more about it. Sincerely, John

without knowledge, realization will only be deceptive in nature. Knowledge alone leads to perfect realization. I don't understand which story you are mentioning about.

He has to believe that his knowledge is the supreme and will lead to Self-realization.when I read this I remember that I get selfrealisation practising raja yoga without much knowledge. But I make progress. can you explain this in the context of your story

All these Tantras are told by Shiva to His Consort, Shakti. I need to check the text. Mantras are like ocean. There are millions of mantras. But for you, all these mantras would not come to light. All of us learn in the process. But I am of the opinion, mantras alone will not confer liberation. Liberation can be attained only through mind, which needs to purified.
