Introduction
This document has been politically incorrect for not
just the last fifty years but for more than two
millennia. Its central theme is finding an identity with
the inner Creator God Brahma. Those people who
have found this inner God have been called by such names
as the enlightened, righteous, and liberated. When
individuals become enlightened or righteous, they do not
need religion and instead can find truth from their own
heart (between the thighs.) The enlightened have an
active role in the world but are not in any bondage to
it.
The Rudrayamala is not a "how-to manual" for
the unrighteous but rather a description of the powers
that produce righteousness. Society does not acknowledge
the existence of the righteous much less offer an
explanation of how they are able to do the things they
do. The righteous seldom find a description of even an
acknowledgement of what makes them different. This
writing is therefore important to those approaching
enlightenment since it describes what happens during the
process of opening the body and mind that is actually
denied by most modern "developed" societies.
The original Rudrayamala, which is at least as
old as the Rig Veda, has been lost, but its
content has survived, embedded within writings such as
the ancient Paratrimsika, which I found embedded
in the Paratrisika Vivarana. This Sanskrit text
was written by the eleventh century Tantrik scholar
known as Abhinavagupta. Surprisingly, Abhinavagupta did
not explain the meaning of the contained Rudrayamala
but did state how the meaning could be extracted from
the ancient Sanskrit. His dissertation provided me with
an insight into how Sanskrit documents could have
meanings intentionally hidden from people who were not
ready for the teachings. Abinavagupta describes how
ancient Sanskrit hides teachings by combining
descriptive words together to form a single word with
another meaning using Sandhi rules.
