36 Tattvas: The Hidden Map of the Universe is a profound yet accessible exploration of one of the most complete metaphysical systems ever conceived in yogic philosophy. Drawing from Yogarnava, classical Yoga sciences, and Shaiva traditions, this book reveals how consciousness unfolds into the universe through thirty-six fundamental principles known as the Tattvas. These principles explain the journey from pure, limitless awareness to the physical world and the path back to spiritual realization.
Rather than treating the Tattvas as abstract philosophy, this book presents them as a living map of existence. Each tattva represents a layer of reality that operates within the cosmos and within the human being. From the highest state of pure consciousness (Shiva Tattva) to the elements that form the physical body, the reader is guided through the subtle architecture that shapes perception, identity, desire, thought, and matter itself.
Written in a clear, contemplative, and modern style, the book bridges ancient wisdom with contemporary understanding. Complex metaphysical ideas are explained through intuitive language, experiential insights, and practical relevance. The human body is presented as a microcosm of the universe, revealing how every individual mirrors the same cosmic structure described in yogic cosmology.
This work is not merely informative, it is transformative. It shows how understanding the Tattvas can lead to greater self-awareness, emotional clarity, and spiritual growth. Readers learn how illusion (Maya) forms individuality, how the mind and senses arise, and how consciousness can consciously reverse this process through inner awareness and yogic practice.
36 Tattvas: The Hidden Map of the Universe is ideal for spiritual seekers, yoga practitioners, philosophers, and readers interested in consciousness studies. It does not demand belief, but invites reflection and inner exploration. By studying the Tattvas, readers gain a deeper understanding of both the universe and themselves, realizing that the map of creation is also the map of their own inner truth.
