The Shaivic books I have read have certainly blown me away! They are experiential and discuss some very subtle dynamics of consciousness. It's too bad that Swami Lakshmanjoo passed on. Are there any living exponents of Shaivism alive today. What's the story about John Viresh Hughes? He was supposed to be the heir, as it were, of Swami Lakshmanjoo's knowledge, but he seems to be nowhere.
