Spanda - Karikas
The Divine Creative Pulsation
The Spanda Karikas are a number of verses that serve as a sort of commentary on the Siva - sutras. According to Saivagama, the Divine Consciousness is not simply cold, inert intellection. It is rather spanda, active, dynamic, throbbing with life, creative pulsation.
Spanda Karikas are a sort of commentary on the Siva - Sutras. The word Karika means ‘ a collection of verses on grammatical, philosophical or scientific subjects ’. The word Spanda literally means a ‘ thorb ’. It connotes dynamism or the dynamic aspect of the Divine creative pulsation.
The self, according to Spanda Karikas, is not simply a witnessing consciousness, but is characterized by both cognition and activity. He who is in communion with this active Self can alone rise to the status of his highest being.
Note : The Karikas and the Spanda - Nirnaya translated into English by Jaideva Singh.
