INTRODUCTION

IMPORTANCE OF VRANABHAIRAVA

“There have been, in India, emo main ways of approuch to
Reality of the Esentisl Natre of Sof, viz, Vivekaja mings and
‘Yoraja mirga~the path of distinction or discrimination and
the path of bnion or integration, Patatjala yous and. Sakura
‘Vedanta have adopted the Viekaja magn by which the Puruss
cor Kimi (the Self) is isolated from Prati (in the ease of
Pitadjela Yogn) oF from Mayh in the case of Vedints), The
word Yoga does not mean union in Pata’ sytem; it means
samadhi or intense abstract meditation (as Vyasa puts it in is
Commentary, "yu semidhaw’). Ssivigums has adopted the
‘Yopuja mirga in which the gol isnot isolation of the Self from
‘Prabrli or May& but the integration of the individual Self to the
Univeral Salf or Bhscava and the reazation ofthe universe as
the expression of His. Sakti or spiritual Encray. The ideal of
Seivagama isnot the relcetion of the universe but its assimilation
to its Source.

‘Vikdnsbhirava is an excellent exposition ofthe yogaja nrg,

Tt has eon referred to as Agama’

Sivavijiinopaniad? and Rudraytmalasire® by Abhinavagupt.
‘Yorarja has referred to. as Saivopunigad. Kyemarija has
refered to it at many places in bis commentary on Sivas,

tis clear thet it has been acknowledged bythe gret expon-
cents of Saivggama as a vory authentic work on yop
