Book Synopsis



Redactado hacia el siglo IX, el Vijñânabhairava es una obra fundamental en el desarrollo del tantrismo. La obra presenta el intercambio sapiencial entre Bhairava, una forma del dios Shiva, y su consorte, la diosa Bhairavî. El dios revela una novedosa enseñanza que se aleja del espíritu mágico-ritualista del tantrismo temprano: lo esencial es el tipo de atención que el yogui puede cultivar para hacer de cualquier objeto o situación un medio para conocer la verdad. El talante transgresor del tantra se expresa así en la posibilidad de reconfigurar contemplativamente cualquier experiencia -incluido el deseo, la finitud y lo prohibido- como la manifestación de una única energía. Citado por los grandes maestros de nuestro tiempo, el Vijñânabhairava constituye todo un clásico de la espiritualidad hindú, con una vigencia que rebasa las premisas culturales de la India al ofrecer al lector moderno un inspirador análisis del poder creador de la conciencia. La presente traducción, la primera al español directamente del sánscrito, viene acompañada de un extenso estudio sobre la tradición tántrica, así como de un iluminador comentario.

Written around the ninth century, the Vijñânabhairava is a fundamental work in the development of Tantrism. The work presents the sapiential exchange between Bhairava, a form of the god Shiva, and his consort, the goddess Bhairavî. The god reveals a novel teaching that departs from the magical-ritualistic spirit of early Tantrism: what is essential is the kind of attention that the yogi can cultivate to make any object or situation a means of knowing the truth. The transgressive mood of tantra is thus expressed in the possibility of contemplatively reconfiguring any experience--including desire, finitude, and the forbidden--as the manifestation of a single energy. Cited by the great masters of our time, the Vijñânabhairava is a classic of Hindu spirituality, with a validity that goes beyond the cultural premises of India by offering the modern reader an inspiring analysis of the creative power of consciousness. The present translation, the first into Spanish directly from Sanskrit, is accompanied by an extensive study of the Tantric tradition, as well as an illuminating commentary.
