Vijnana Bhairava Tantra - Sanskrit Text with English Translation



Vijnana Bhirava, one of the basic Agamas, is a chapter from Rudrayamala Tantra that contains teachings on Advaita (to be differentiated from Adviata Vedanta). Vijnana Bhairava means "the mystic knowledge of the Ultimate Reality". This text is in the form of a dialogue between the God Siva and Parvati, his divine consort.

Vijnana Bhirava expounds 112 techniques of meditation (Dharanas) or of Union with the Divine. We find in this book an incredible variety of spiritual practices and ways of discovering pure consciousness in all kinds of conditions and circumstances.

Siva says, "If one is established in any of these 112 ways of meditation, one becomes the Bhairava (Divine) himself".

    Bhaskar,

    No, I did not translate it. I did OCR from a book on Vijnana Bhairava. The errors might have crept in due to my carelessness in proof-reading. Thanks for pointing out them. I will correct them and re-upload the book.

    Thank you very much .Vigyana Bhairava Tantra ..is truly the ultimate practical scripture.Superb.When we read osho s explanation on Vignana bhairava tantra in over 1000 pages and also as Book of Secrets... a lot of hidden truths are brought to light. Would have been great if the romanized sanskrit verses are also given. ..In fact, almost all the most famous hindu preachers who have millions of followers and have great following, use this scriptures teachings for free but make hundreds of millions in the process...Nithyananda of Nithyananda dhyanapeetam is one of them.
