Devi Gita (cl 36): "Maya & Vimarśa in Kashmir Shaivism" with George Barselaar, Lakshmanjoo Academy.

In tonight's Devi Gita class, Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati is joined by special guest scholar George Barselaar, a disciple and attendant of the great master of Kashmiri Shaivism His Holiness Swami Lakshmanjoo, live from Swamiji's ashram in Srinagar, Kashmir.
We are continuing the discussion we started last week on verse 2.10:
विमर्श इति तां प्राहुः शैवशास्त्रविशारदाः |
अविद्यामितरे प्राहुर्वेदतत्त्वार्थचिन्तकाः || १० ||
vimarśa iti tāṃ prāhuḥ śaiva-śāstra-viśāradāḥ |
avidyāmitare prāhur-veda-tattvārtha-cintakāḥ || 10 ||
10. "Those versed in Shaiva scriptures (Shaivites) declare Her to be vimarśa (reflective awareness), while those who contemplate the doctrines of the Vedas (Vedantins) declare Her to be powerful avidya (ignorance).”
This class was given on Zoom to students of the Ramakrishna Seminary on 21 June 2023.

I believe those five tattvas just above Maya are in Tibetan Vajrayana (Tantra) the equivalent of the 5 Buddha Families

Surrender is not that easy better saints can show path how one can reach surrender. Surrender for some reason is such a huge word for me why I stopped following so many online followers of cults asking others to Surrender. I doubt I have seen a single soul surrendered. Surrender must be tested in every way to know if the state is true. But there must be a path to Surrender
