ABOUT THE BOOK

Namah Shiváya Shántáya (Salutations to Shiva the Tranquil), authored by the highly revered philosopher, social reformer, and spiritual master Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar under his spiritual moniker Shrii Shrii Anandamurti (1921–1990), is a monumental work of historical, philosophical, and tantric exegesis. First published in November 1982 by Ananda Marga Publications, this text stands as a cornerstone spiritual scripture within the global Ananda Marga movement. The core philosophy of this text centers on demythologizing cosmic consciousness by restoring Lord Shiva as a historical, flesh-and-blood revolutionary. Anandamurti argues that over seven thousand years of history, the real Shiva has been hidden under thick layers of imaginative folklore, theological superstition, and religious myth.

Rather than viewing Shiva purely through a passive devotional lens, the text treats Him as the ultimate cultural architect and the true father of human civilization. The book is a synthesis of twenty profound discourses originally delivered in Bengali across dynamic spiritual congregations in Kolkata, Patna, and Kashi. Through these talks, the author unfolds a rich framework—which he affectionately terms "Shivology"—to map out how an extraordinary historical figure unified warring primitive tribes, integrated dynamic arts and sciences, and laid down the foundational codes of universal spirituality.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Shrii Shrii Anandamurti (known in social spheres as Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar) was a profound 20th-century Indian philosopher, socio-spiritual preceptor, and polymath. He engineered the progressive economic and social philosophy known as PROUT (Progressive Utilization Theory) and founded Ananda Marga (The Path of Bliss). His unique intellectual approach masterfully balances intense, highly rational scientific critique with absolute, experiential mysticism.

Anandamurti’s prose style in this masterwork is remarkably clear, authoritative, and deeply engaging. He handles the text with the sharp focus of a social historian while infusing it with the loving warmth of a true spiritual master. He seamlessly moves past centuries of religious myth to focus entirely on how ancient cultural structures apply directly to modern human evolution. By demonstrating that genuine Tantra is not a dark, hidden ritual practice but a highly systematic, day-to-day discipline of inner mental expansion, his book remains an essential reference for serious students of Eastern mysticism, Indology, and advanced sociology worldwide.
