Introduction

Welcome to Mahāpāśupatāstra. This website is dedicated to the study, preservation, and defence of Śaiva śāstra, Śaiva darśana, Śaiva itihāsa, and Śiva-sarvottamatva.

The purpose of this site is to present Śaiva materials in an organized manner through primary sources, exact references, contextual explanation, and disciplined śāstric reasoning.

The work here will especially focus on the supremacy of Śiva, the history and philosophy of Śaiva traditions, and refutations of anti-Śaiva interpretations and misquotations.

Main Study Areas

Method Followed

  • Primary sources first
  • Exact references wherever possible
  • Context before interpretation
  • Clear distinction between source, translation, and argument
  • Sanskrit, Tamil, and English explanations when required
  • Respectful but firm śāstric reasoning

May this site become a small offering at the feet of Paramaśiva.
