The New Spanda Karikas are not a work of academic scholarship but a
result of meditation in the form of an original metaphysical
treatise on Spanda. They 'approach anew' (abhi-nava) the whole
notion of Spanda - showing its relation to the nature of
consciousness, space and time, using it to challenge the
foundations of quantum physics and the much distorted concept of
'energy' - whose roots lie not in Indian but in Greek thought. As a
result, these new karikas are also able to offers a radically new
understanding of the nature of 'matter', the modern scientific
'mystery' of so-called 'dark matter' and 'dark energy' and - last
but not least - to the true essence of music. Spanda is understood
for the first time as primordial creative tension between a dark
and inexhaustible womb of unmanifest potentialities of awareness or
'non-being' - symbolised by the blackness of the great goddess Kali
- and the realm of actuality or 'being' illuminated by the
invisible light of awareness identical with the great god Shiva.
Through a primordial awareness of the realm of potentiality, the
autonomous powers of actualisation or Shaktis latent within it are
released - giving rise to a constant process of creative
manifestation of all possible actualities and all possible
consciousnesses or 'beings'.
