"Path to Siva" is a divine offering to youth, parents and teachers, a catechism based on Sivaya Subramuniyaswami's teachings, focusing on Saiva religion, particularly Shuddha Saiva Siddhanta. In sixty-eight illustrated lessons, this book conveys the basics of a 3,000-page Master Course Trilogy created by Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (Gurudeva, 1927-2001), a legacy of profound, approachable teachings exploring three realms: philosophical, cultural and mystical. "Path to Siva" is a mini-Master Course created by Gurudeva's successor to inspire youth to know and follow that venerable way of wisdom embodied in the Saiva Siddhanta traditions of South India and Sri Lanka. It covers the following and more: • Self-Identity: Who am I? How can we see God? What are the three worlds? Being a strong Saivite • Philosophy: God Siva; Saiva Siddhanta; Our immortal soul; death & reincarnation; dharma & karma • Personal life: A happy home; virtue; sin & evil; religious tolerance; hospitality; harmony with others • Practice: yoga, meditation; appreciating the temple; home puja; pilgrimage; caring for the environment.
