As we near the finale of the Vidyeśvara-saṁhitā, the most important and powerful practices of Śiva-yoga are being discussed. Sincere devotees dedicate themselves to wearing bhasma and rudrākṣa, and chanting the pañcākṣara-mantra. We should never forget the meaning of realizing Śiva, which is transforming our consciousness from the ordinary external jagrat to svapna, the ineffable suṣupti and finally turīya.
