Seeking Truth?
The Vijnana Bhairava Tantra provides a way into the universal realization of divine embodiment that is developed fully within the tantras. It is one of the early teachings on yoga meditation. The name, loosely translated, means "the terror and joy of realizing oneness with the soul." The first written version appears in Kashmir around AD 800. Metaphorically, a tantra is a tapestry of knowledge weaving together the threads of yoga technique. This one is a compendium of yoga meditation instructions, set as a conversation between lovers. Niv reads out Lorin Roche's translation of the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, one that she has titled The Radiance Sutras. Niv reads to you the Banter verses and some of the Yukti verses.
