Shiva’s Hologram: The Maheshwara Sutra
By: Padma Aon Prakasha - O-Books - $31.95

Overview: Shiva’s Hologram brings us the key that teaches on sound consciousness in the Vedic tradition, given by Shiva over 2,200 years ago after his iconic dance of destruction and creation. It is the clearest exposition of the world being created by sound vibration ever.

Verdict: The Maheshwara Sutra was revealed by Shiva through his Drum. Each beat weaves the matrix of life, dynamically creating the universe and human being in 42 sound vibrations. Each sound unfolds the universal creative process, from the quantum field and Big Bang to the mind, breath, sexuality, chakras and all elements of creation. The Maheshwara Sutra is Shiva’s holographic Creation of Everything, the original yoga of sound. Its 42 Sound Keys create 42 vibrational shifts within you, which can align you into the quantum blueprint of creation.

Shiva’s Hologram: The Maheshwara Sutra is a science of consciousness, a profound synthesis of Vedic and western wisdom and practices that articulates a path into wholeness through sound. Thorough and well researched, it explains the sounds that form your self, opening doors into using sound never revealed before.

Thus, Shiva’s Hologram: The Maheshwara Sutra translates this ancient wisdom into contemporary relevance and practice through quantum physics, sacred geometry, the union of masculine and feminine Shiva-Shakti, and the wisdom of India’s greatest masters.

It is said that long ago, Shiva called forth the greatest sages of India, desiring to elevate them into the divine matrix of creation through the rhythmic intelligence of the Tandava Dance of destruction and creation.

He smiled at the assembled Avatars and Rishis, who watched on in awe. Moving his limbs gracefully, slowly, he assumed the gracious yet terrible Nataraja form and posture, hands held aloft, limbs in perfect equipoise.

Slowly at first, his arms started to unfold, weaving patterns of unutterable beauty and awesome power, forming the mudras of the Tandava. Gaining speed with each successful gyrating pose, each whirl of the arms, each spin around his axis, the air started to crackle and burn, fizzing electric intensity, revealing fleeting glimpses of space and the stars as he whirled. Space itself began to be rent asunder, revealing the looming vastness of the void.

Emblazoned in an iridescent cocoon of fire, radiating light, whirling faster and faster, beyond the speed of light, beyond space, time and our universe’s laws, Natarja-Raja span so fast he became still.

In this Singular moment, his wild movements were caught in freeze frame. He was Dancing on the broken, limp body of the prostate dwarf demon Apasmara, whose face was contorted into a grimace of crazed glee, eyes raw, red and bleeding. He was the embodiment of forgetfulness and fear, amnesia incarnate.

Nataraja-Raja gracefully arced his foot up high, thunderously smashing it down into Apasmara, crushing him into myriads of atoms of incandescent light. The vast expanse of space, of consciousness itself, became illuminated by this fire of all fires, the fire that burns the karma of those beyond karma, in a single, infinite moment.

Everything stopped in the Thunder of Silence.

In this moment of complete and utter stillness, Shiva Maheshwara held out his upraised hand and sounded nine beats on his hourglass Damaru Drum. Spiraling out from the Silence, these pulse waves of sonic consciousness uncurled and unfolded into luminescent shapes and letters of light waving exquisite matrices.

He sounded five more beats, thus composing 14 beats in perfect rhythm, echoing throughout the vastness.

This Blueprint of creation are the sounds of the Maheshwara Sutra.

Having dated someone a while ago that was very aware of quite a lot of what this book sets out now for a new generation, early on in life I was awoken to the fact that the non-stop sacred sound stream emanating from the udukkai (damaru) drum in the hand of Lord Shiva during the non-stop cosmic universal dance of Lord Shiva Nataraja, blesses us with sacred sounds that create, protect and sustain us. Among these sacred sounds are the great Maheswara Sutras - wonderful Beeja Maha Mantras of the foundational Veda scriptures.

Since these sounds are the foundations of even the most primordial Veda scriptures, these Maheswara Sutra sounds are glorified as Maha Veda Beeja sounds. The number of mantras originating from each of these Maheswara Sutra sounds are in the millions. This insight can only be had from a True Guru.

Furthermore, amongst these sacred sounds, there are 14 that the Lord Himself gave us as very special foundational sound syllables. These are referred to as the 14 Mahesvara Sutras. These sacred sounds are behind the creation and the (moment to moment) functioning of the billions of galaxies and beings that make up this universe. Hence the sound of creation.

Indeed, it is using these 14 Maheshvara Sutras that the 14 Manus and the nine Kardhama Prajapatis execute their creation duties by the command of Lord Brahma. These 14 Maheswara Sutra Beeja Mantra sacred sound syllables are:

(1) a i u iN
(2) ru lu ik
(3) E O ng
(4) ai ou ich
(5) ha ya va ra it
(6) la iN
(7) ngya ma nga Na na im
(8) JHa BHa ngy
(9) GHa Da DHa ish
(10) ja ba ga da dha iSH
(11) KHa PHa CHa Ta THa cha ta tha iv
(12) ka pa iy
(13) SHa sha sa ir
(14) ha il

Of course, this book dives deeper into the magnificent prose ocean that is Shiva’s Hologram: The Maheshwara Sutra and is actually written for both the beginner and advanced practitioner, and reveals the yoga of the 42 sounds, their meanings and practical applications.

Use the sounds for sound-healing and to resonate into the harmonious Blueprint of Creation: Create mantras to resonate every part of you into health and well-being: Use it for yoga, self-inquiry and to expand your consciousness in meditation.

The deeper wisdom of the Maheshwara Sutra has been kept within the Saivite Indian lineage for millennia, and has not been released to the general public until now.
