The Hidden Path of Beauty: Ascent & Descent of Kundalini in Tantric Shaivism w/ Igor Kufayev

► Episode Introduction Today, we dive deep into a conversation with Igor Kufayev, an artist, author, and spiritual teacher. Igor primarily teaches from the traditions of Kashmir Shaivism and Advaita Vedanta, but his approach is truly integral, drawing upon German existential philosophers, pre-Socratics, Sufism, and the work of Sri Aurobindo. In this part 1 of the two-part deep dive, we explore: Beauty as a path to transformation The esoteric concept of Spanda in Kashmir Shaivism Ascent and descent in the Spiritual Path or Kundalini Devotion on the Spiritual Path We also discuss Igor's book "Camatkāra: The Hidden Path", a must-read for spiritual seekers. What sets Igor apart is his engaged approach to spirituality. He's unapologetic when addressing political polarities, global conflicts, ecological destruction, and other challenges facing humanity - a rare quality in spiritual teachers. Igor's samurai-like energy and teachings have been instrumental in helping many, including myself, break through personal challenges and make necessary life transitions. This conversation is rich with insights drawn from multiple traditions, making complex subjects accessible and profound. Don't miss Igor's upcoming trip to the United States in September.

Igor’s first book, Camatkāra: The Hidden Path, was published in January 2023. Conceived as part of a trilogy with the following two volumes in the making, the work intends to redress and illuminate the role and experience of aesthetic rapture as a subtle pathway between cognitive perception and beatitude, in the present volume. This is followed by the seminal work on Kuṇḍalinī, the ultimate power behind the transformation of consciousness in a continued quest for what it means to be truly human. The series culminates with the work on Samāveśa, the way of immersion into divine consciousness, different aspects of possessions, repossessions, and the age of addiction. This undertaking coincides with the consecration of SONG Publishing, an independent platform to support the dissemination of this perennial teaching. ► YouTube Chapters or Timepoints 00:00 The Hidden Path of Beauty: Ascent & Descent of Kundalini in Tantric Shaivism w/ Igor Kufayev 02:52 Introduction to Igor Kufayev 03:36 03:36 Igor's book Camatkara, Hidden Path of Beauty & its themes 04:14 Exploring Igor's Book: Chamathkara 10:52 The Essence of Beauty in Spirituality 17:33 Exploring the Concept of Beauty in Spirituality 21:49 Sat Chit Ananda 25:11 What is Beauty? 29:02 Advaita Vedanta vs. Advaita Tantra 47:22 The Paradox of Spiritual Seeking - Greek Myth of Odeipus 01:03:38 Embracing the Paradox of Creativity 01:05:37 Realism vs. Idealism: A Mystical Union 01:07:10 Ascent and Descent in Spirituality 01:13:23 Kundalini: The Dance of Shiva and Shakti 01:15:41 Kundalini and the Divine Gender Reversal 01:19:11 The Descent of Grace and Spiritual Anatomy 01:21:25 The Final Descent and Divinization of Matter 01:22:37 Adi Shankara and the Power of Shakti 01:31:55 The Role of Devotion in Spiritual Practice 01:34:42 Spanda: The Throb of Awareness 02:06:20 Support Potential Paradigms ► Hashtags #kundalini #tantra #kashmirshaivism, #spanda
