The Deeply Mystical Saivism

[Guest guest]

Om Namah Shivaye!

 

I feel overwhelmed to see a cophehensive description about Shaiva

spiritual creeds.

 

In am deep into Shaiva Agamas - Kashmir Shaivism. Due to " Anugarh "

of Lord Shiva I am initiated into subtle practices.

 

I am keen to share the blissful experiences.
