"'Return to Shiva' is a fresh rendering of eighteen selections from the 'Yoga Vasistha Maharamayana'. Composed by the Rishi (Seer) Valmikim it contains the perennial quintessence of the Hindu spiritual tradition. Cosmology, psychology and refined mode of living are presented in terms of higher states of consciousness. The texts translated here focus on Shive, the archetypal Guru or spiritual Initiator and the supreme regenerative force in the cosmos. The book includes an instructive essay, 'Jnana Yoga', by Raghavan Iyer and concludes with Shankaracharya's 'Ten-Versed Hymn' and a glossary of terms." - from dust-jacket blurb. .
