Shiva Swarodaya Shastra
The Sacred Dialogue Between Lord Shiva & Shakti on the Science of Breath
Shiva–Shakti Sambad
The Divine Dialogue — Source of All Swara Knowledge
Shakti Asks Lord Shiva
In the eternal dialogue of the Shiva Swarodaya, Shakti poses four fundamental questions to Lord Shiva:
Which knowledge bestows perfection?
How was the universe created?
How does the universe change and dissolve?
Who determines the universe?
Lord Shiva Responds — The Tattwas
Lord Shiva answers: Creation takes place due to tattwas (subtle essences), is sustained by them and finally dissolves into them. Tattwas are the origin of the universe.
There is one birthless, formless supreme existence from which evolves the five elements in sequence:
Ākāsha
Ether
Vāyu
Air
Tejas
Fire
Apas
Water
Prithvi
Earth
These five elements are spread throughout the world. Creation is formed and sustained from them and again merges back into them as the subtle process of creation continues ceaselessly.
"The science of Swara is the secret of all secrets and reveals the essence of all benefits. This science is the crown jewel of all knowledge. It is the subtlest of all subtle knowledge. It is easy to understand and based on truth. To the atheist it is a wonder, to the theist, the base."
— Shiva Swara Udaya, Verse 11Who May Receive This Knowledge?
According to Verse 13, this sacred knowledge should be given to one who is:
The Glory of Swara
Verse 22: The power of swara overcomes enemies and joins friends, obtains wealth and glory.
Verse 25: O Lady of beautiful face, all sacred books, moral stories, learning and Upanishads are not beyond the knowledge of swara.
Verse 29: If you have knowledge of Swara, it is not necessary to consult the date, stars, days, planets, gods, conjunctions of stars or disorders of humours before starting any project.
Verse 28: The teaching should not be revealed simply to answer someone's questions, but by one's own self, by one's own intellect in one's own body.
