SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO RAINA

Swami Lakshmanjoo was born on the 9th of May, 1907, in Srinagar, Kashmir, India. As a child he showed clear signs of spirituality, and from the age of three, he would become easily absorbed in his own inner nature and described this state as “badhi bhod” which in Kashmiri means “greater than the greatest.”

Swamiji had his first glimpse of God Consciousness at the age of nineteen and further enriched his understanding of Kashmir Shaiva philosophy, verifying intellectual understanding with his own personal experiences. To all sincere seekers Swamiji freely distributed the treasure of his wisdom.

As the last in an unbroken chain of Masters of this unique ‘oral tradition’, Swamiji dedicated his life to the sacred teachings of Kashmir Shaivism. 

In 1991 he left this mortal world but not before giving clear guidelines for the future. In India he established the Ishwara Ashram Trust to carry out activities in a manner which would uphold the truths he himself had lived for. 

In the words of Abhinavagupta, "Some beings are enlightened only for their own liberation, and some others for the sake of redeeming the whole world. Just as a firefly shines only for itself, jewels shine for others, the stars shine for more, the moon shines for still more and the Sun bestows light on the whole universe." Swami Lakshmanjoo was such a Sun indeed.
