About the Book "I Am Shiva" delves into the profound philosophy of Kashmir Shaivism, identifying Param Shiva as the universal consciousness, transcending the image of a sage meditating on Mount Kailasha. This consciousness descends through 36 tattvas, from Shiva tattva to Prithvi tattva, creating a continuum from Shiva to Jiva, from macrocosm to microcosm. It interconnects all sentient and insentient beings, forming the essence of our existence, where all things emerge and eventually merge back into this divine source.

Centered on the verse "Chiti Swatantra Vishwasidhihetu" from Pratibignya Hridayam, "I Am Shiva" unveils the divine potential within each person. It demonstrates that every individual has the vision and free will to transform their life. By recognizing and transcending the ego, readers can connect with their universal self, endowed with boundless knowledge and the power to act.

This book provides a roadmap for ascending back to this universal consciousness, from Jiva to Shiva, by recognizing and un-layering the power of our inner consciousness and enabling us to affirm that "I am Shiva." It guides us to realize that the power to shape our reality lies within us.

The book proposes a Vision Model, guiding readers on how to transition from a transactional vision to a transcendental vision. It offers practical solutions for managing life at physical, mental, spiritual, and universal levels. Through this Vision Model, "I Am Shiva empowers readers to transcend the limitations of a purely materialistic perspective by demonstrating that the material world is not something to be renounced, but rather embraced and transformed. It reveals that by integrating spiritual practices into everyday life, one can achieve a harmonious balance between personal ambitions and a higher sense of purpose.

"I Am Shiva" also explores how the universal consciousness of Kashmir Shaivism parallels contemporary science. Quantum physics is beginning to observe similarities with what Kashmir sages visualized millennia ago, revealing deep connections between ancient spiritual insights and modern scientific discoveries.

This book is not just a guide but a transformative journey towards higher self-awareness and self-management. It inspires a holistic approach to life and existence, urging you to discover the divine essence within and harness the power of your vision to create a fulfilling, purposeful life.

"Embrace the journey of self-realization, for within you lies the universe's infinite potential."

Introduction In "I Am Shiva," the word "Shiva" evokes more than just the iconic images of Lord Shiva and Parvati on the peaks of Mount Kailash or a sage in deep meditation. This book goes beyond those traditional depictions, offering a profound exploration of the qualities embodied by Shiva that leads to success and personal transformation. It highlights the essence of Shiva, portraying him not merely as a figure of faith but also as a symbol of simplicity, intuition, courage, holistic thinking, imagination, sacrifice, empathy, and universal interconnectedness. These qualities resonate not only on the physical plane but also at metaphysical and quantum levels that are deeply ingrained in Pratibignya Hridayam, a foundational philosophical, psychological, scientific and spiritual text from Kashmir Shaivism.
