different translations of same text

[Guest guest]

Namaskar!

I can comment on books regarding Kashmir Shaivism and Shaktism.

 

Jaidev Singh book is much better. He has written under total guidance of Swami

Laxman Ji at his Ashram in Srinagar, Kashmir. Swamiji tape recording in Kashmiri

language are with me.

 

Similarly, Kotru's Shivstrotravali is very profound work on the "Ocean of

Devotion" of Acharya Utpal Dev.

 

Please focus on one of the spititual gem of Shiv Sutra:-

 

"ICCHA SHAKTI UMA KUMARI"

For such a yogi who has totally overcome the duality, who has overcome the three

states ( waking, dreaming and deep sleep), who is in fourth state (Turya), his

will itself is the Supreme Energy of Lord Shiva.

 

So, please remember, not you but the Mother Goddess will fulfil the iccha.

 

Shiva is giver; Shiva is enjoyer.

 

Virendra.

2. by Rai B. Vasu

 

 

Siva/Shiva Sutra(s):

 

1. by Jaideva Singh

2. by Roger Worthington

3. by Swami Lakshmanjoo

4. by Mark S.G. Dyczkowski

 

 

Sivastotravali/Shivastotravali:

2. by Constantina Rhodes Bailly

 

 

Tripura Rahasya:

I wonder whether some of you have already one or another of these books and can

hint on which translation of each is best?
