Introduction to Kashmiri Shaivism: The Ecstatic Teachings of the Krama with Chris Tomkins

Date:Sat 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM 04/10/10

8 hrs toward the Sonic Prana Flow 300 hr certification. The experience of living liberation (jīvanmukti) was reverentially captured by generations of Tantrik masters belonging to the Shākta (Goddess-worshipping) lineage known as the Krama, the only tradition in India ever known to have Women Masters. None of the surviving sutras of the Krama, which most inspired the embodied Yoga practice we have inherited today, have been translated into English until now. The revelations of the Krama sages were expressed in songs (stotras) that praise the Goddess as Supreme Consciousness Herself, the highest reality in which one can become consciously and joyfully immersed. These stotras poetically express the unimaginable delight that comes with spontaneously experiencing true spiritual freedom through envisioning the one, playful Goddess who pervades all things, as the spontaneous (sahaja) flow of our prana and all of our emotions and thoughts. The Krama teachings give us tools to experience absolute unimaginable freedom, in a flash, by surrendering to the play of life itself. “My mind, which was a distressed honey-bee whose energy was diminished by the blows coming from the advance of the severe winter of duality, having reached the fragrant nectar that is the abode of Shiva, now remains perpetually intoxicated by the revivifying drink found within the flower that [grows] on the vine of pure awareness.” –Shri Nāga, 11th century Krama sage, from his (previously un-translated) poem, “Thirty verses on how I delight in my own awareness.” $160 for non 500 hr participants. $154 for registered 500 hr students. The workshop will take place at Shetler Studios, Penthouse. 44 w. 54th St., 12th fl.
