Namah Shivaya Shantaya or Namah Shiváya Shántáya ("Salutations to Shiva the Tranquil") is a book published for the first time on November 1982 in Kolkata, India and containing a collection of twenty discourses originally given in Bengali (in Kolkata, Patna and Kashi, India) by the philosopher and social reformer Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar[note 1] aka Shrii Shrii Anandamurti (1921–1990).[note 2]
Shiva's Teachings
"..Those who come in the flow of creation are vibrated by the vast Cosmic Mind to move along their path. Emerging from the seed of creation, and merging in the limitlessness of infinity – having made themselves significant for eternity – they depart. Their coming and going is not an absolute truth, nor does it lead to supreme fulfilment. They are footballs in the eternal game of Parama Puruśa, and their immeasurable value lies in their being His playthings. Everything is coming from the world beyond the scope of knowledge, and everything is going back to the world beyond the scope of knowledge, and the transitory state of knowablity is the present. The past is beyond reach; only the present is within the scope of measurement by the time factor..."
Shrii Shrii Anandamurti´s "Shiva's Teachings" – 1 (Discourse 9) on Namah Shivaya Shantaya.[2]
The speeches were later translated and collected to form the current English version of the volume. The book, now composed of 312 pages and 23 chapters preceded by a publisher's note followed by the Shivagiiti ("Song of Shiva") is considered part of the spiritual scriptures of the movement Ananda Marga[note 3] founded by the author and ends with a glossary.
