Saiva Siddhanta is a path that places stress on the all- embracing nature of human spirituality, that is, it seeks to reveal that every dimension of life is sacred. It teaches seekers to see God everywhere, and in everyone, inside and outside ourselves. It is a tolerant path, accepting wholeheartedly the many ways of seeking God, and denying emphatically that any path is the one or only path. <p>Some of the practices found in Saiva Siddhanta, are a synthesis of Vedic and Agamic insight. Some of the practices include: <img src="images/SaivaSchool2.jpg" width="350" height="275" align="right"><br> <ol> <li>Bhakti Yoga - devotion to God, Siva, through acts of worship and observing certain acts of moral conduct. <li> Karma Yoga - serving God selflessly through your thoughts, words, and actions. <li> Raja Yoga - involving yogic exercises and meditation. <li> Jnana Yoga - the path of intense mysticism and wisdom, which comes from the direct knowledge of the divine as personal experience transcending all other knowledge. A catechism for Saiva Siddhanta called Dancing with Siva is available. </ol> <a href="http://www.sivanandadlshq.org/download/nayanar.htm#_VPID_2" target="newwn">More information in detail about Saiva Sidhantham and 63 Nayanars</a> </body> </html>
