By propitiating the Shaktis that preside over the nine yogic centres of the astral body (nava adhara viz. MUlAdhAra, svAdhiShThana, maNipUra, anAhata, madhyamA, vajrakaNTHa, lambikA, vishuddha, and AjnA), one transcends the veil (Avarana) that is being protected by the respective yoginis and unite with Bindu which is the form of pure, unadultrated consciousness which is in the top of the head (Sahasrara), which is the Prakasa aspect alone. So this becomes the ultimate Mantra yoga as this confers liberation...

Dear Ravi Sir,It is so nice to read the above discussion on this Guru Purnima Day. If you don't mind, can we expect some of your experiences with beloved Guruji. I know it is not proper to ask about personal experiences, but just a curiosity to know more about Guruji. Kindly accept my respects to you and to the entire Guruparampara.Thanks and RegardsNarasa Raju

Major differences between Advaita of Śaṃkarācārya and Kashmiri Shivaism are the following. 1) According Advaita, Brahman is Light and knowledge; It is inactive. According to Kashmiri Shiavaism (hereinafter referred as KS) Consciousness is both Light and activity. KS uses Shiva instead of Brahman.2) According to Advaita māyā is action and cannot be described. Brahman is active only when He is affected māyā. But according to KS, māyā is the Power of Shiva, His own Shakti, His Svātantrya Śakti. It is the Power of Shiva and is real (as opposed to indefinable as per Advaita). 3) Māyā is the source of separation as per Advaita; As per KS, māyā is integral part of Shiva. 4) According to Advaita, individual soul is inactive; but according to KS sṛṣṭi, sthiti, saṁhāra, tirodhāna and anugraha exist in individual souls also. In other words, individual is also Shiva as per KS.5) Advaita says that universe is the manifestation of Brahman and not Real. But according to KS, the entire universe is Shiva and hence Real. 6) During liberation, the universe is invalidated according to Advaita. According to KS, universe appears in the form of Shiva Consciousness during Liberation. 7) This difference is significant. According to Advaita, when spiritual ignorance (avidyā) is removed through spiritual wisdom (vidyā), one is liberated (Self-realization is different from Liberation). But according to KS, there are two types of ignorance; one is inherent and another is intellectual. By gaining spiritual wisdom, only inherent ignorance can be removed. Intellectual ignorance can be removed only by Śaktipāta. This is possible only through proper initiation by a Self-realized Guru.
