About this title

Synopsis

Now you can discover answers to the most important questions in life (Who am I? What is my purpose in life? Who or what is God?), when you read Creator, Protector, Destroyer by J.R. Picken, Ph.D., M.D.

For over a thousand years, there has been a spiritual system hidden in the area now known as Kashmir. This beautiful land (often referred to as the Switzerland of the East) is located at the northern tip of India and has Pakistan, Afghanistan, and China as neighbors. There is political unrest there.

There is also great spirituality that is little known in the West. It is called Kashmir Shaivism. Its message is both simple and radical: each of us is God, equal parts creator, protector, and destroyer―and, because we are all God, we are each perfect at our core.

·Discover the secrets of Swami Lakshmanjoo, the last living Shaivite master
·Learn this ancient theory of Divinity
·Uncover the true nature of consciousness
·Realize how you can become nonviolent

Creator, Protector, Destroyer is the first and only nonacademic book on Kashmir Shaivism; it is intended to be read by anyone. It is also a passionate, personal journey of discovery and realization. Dr. Picken traveled to Kashmir, where he studied with Swami Lakshmanjoo. The deep insights of Shaivism will help you understand why your true identity is Divine and how you can cast aside feelings of isolation, loneliness, and powerlessness forever.

The wisdom and spirituality you will find in Creator, Protector, Destroyer will help you experience empowering truths about yourself and the world. It will transform your life forever. Get Creator, Protector, Destroyer today.

Review

While this is a far cry from the spiritual literature passed out at the airport, readers should be aware that J. R. Picken deals with ideas from Kashmir Shaivism which may spark controversy at first glance. Whether or not Kashmir Shaivism appeals to you, changing your religion is not a requirement for changing your outlook on life; Picken isn't trying to supplant anyone's religious systems, only to supplement them. His revelations are passionate and introspective. Picken's casual voice keeps me from feeling like I'm receiving a sermon, and makes reading this book feel more like a discussion over dinner.
