Description:
That Dr. Frawley (Vamadeva) comes from the lineage of the widely respected Ramana Maharsi is a plus for me. And when I learned that he was originally raised a Catholic I knew that he has also grappled with Western theology.
The soul, God and the angels all have counterpart Sanskrit meanings and he explains why there is a great pantheon of gods and goddesses which are really part of Shiva, another name for the One who is beyond all conceptions.
What I really liked were the sections about the seventh element (yes, there are more than five, although it could also be a seventh and final plane to me because it fits in with Vianna
That Dr. Frawley (Vamadeva) comes from the lineage of the widely respected Ramana Maharsi is a plus for me. And when I learned that he was originally raised a Catholic I knew that he has also grappled with Western theology.
The soul, God and the angels all have counterpart Sanskrit meanings and he explains why there is a great pantheon of gods and goddesses which are really part of Shiva, another name for the One who is beyond all conceptions.
What I really liked were the sections about the seventh element (yes, there are more than five, although it could also be a seventh and final plane to me because it fits in with Vianna Stibal's Theta Healing concepts), advice about the safe ways to raise the Kundalini, why Rudra is beyond all duality, the explanation for the terrible Chhinnamasta, (who cut off her own head) and the concise meanings of all the related mantras for the various aspects of Shakti. He also gives the best description I have ever found for the Hridaya chakra, sometimes known as the eight-petaled secret chamber of the heart. I had already spent a great amount of time searching on the internet regarding this.
If there is any fault with the book, I would have liked a little more about how to pronounce certain Sanskrit syllables, such as the difference between the long A, I and E.
