Vijnanabhairava is a very ancient book on Yoga. It studiously eschews mechanical worship, external rites and ceremonies and goes directly to the heart of the problem of the union of human consciousness with the Divine. There is no theoretical discussion in the book. It describes 112 types of Yoga each of which is a precious gem delineating the mystic approach to the Divine. For this purpose, it makes full use of all the aspects of human life - prana, manas, imagination and intuition. The book has for the first time been translated into English. The translation of each verse is followed by copious expository notes, which contain not only all that is of any value in the Sanskrit commentaries, but also many practical suggestions made by Swami Lakshmana Joo on the basis of his personal experience of these Yogas. In order to understand the philosophical background of these Yogas, the reader is advised to go through the introductory portion of the author's Pratyabhijnahrdayam or the Siva-sutras.

Important book on non-dual Shivaism
This system is similar to Advaita Vedanta' Shankara approach, but with some added tantric perspective and the notion of Vimarsha absent in Shankara. The 112 techniques are using all human faculties, like thoughts, emotion, actions, ectc.. I do not know another traditional text with the same amount of techiques.

Origini del senso dello yoga
Questo libro, che è soprattutto un libro sacro, è estremamente utile per gli appassionati di yoga. Leggerlo in sanscrito sarebbe meglio....

Indispensable
Singh is the gold standard for rigorous academic and practical rendering of Trika Tantra. Vigyan Bhairav is no exception. I would recommend you pick up his Siva Sutras and the Pratyabhijna Hrdaya to round out the collection. The three interlace each other, and if you’ve got the time there’s an entire Sadhana between the three if you’re paying attention.Om Nama Shivaya

Hard to read for me.
This is a book of great wisdom and insight. I have reverence for it. However for me it is hard to read. So many notes and difficult language make it a real work to read this book. So I have not read so much of it. However I have approached it through the writings of Swami Lakhsmanjoo. These I find a lot more accessible. Also Swami Muktananda ji writes about these teachings. Jaideva Singh ji is a student of his. No doubt he did a great job on the translating of this ancient text. Also putting it in a context. But for me it is too wordy. Too little of the meditative presence is shining through in this rendering of the Vijnanabhairava. Nevertheless I appreciate his work to bring this knowledge to the Western world. May people learn to meditate and build their consciousness through this priceless knowledge.
