In one of Swami Veda’s last public teachings before entering silence in 2010, he introduced us to the "Siva Sutras," a primary text in Kashmir Shaivism.

In particular, he felt it was important for us to understand the correlation of time and the breath as taught in Chapter 6 of the Ta**raloka. Gary will sharing his reflections on this fascinating text and topic.
