Although\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethese verses are primarily from Kashmir Shaivite sources, Swamiji\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ealso included verses from Ved¿ntic texts such as the Yoga V¿si¿tha and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe R¿m¿yäa. Every Sunday, he would reveal the meaning of one or\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etwo of these verses to his devotees in Kashmir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe following year, Swamiji traveled to Nepal with his nephew,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInder Krishen Raina, to meet with John and Denise Hughes and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etheir two children with the express intent of sharing these important\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003everses with them.

Swamiji replied, \"I compiled these ¿lo-\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ekas with the intention of sharing them with you.\" When asked about\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe references for these verses, Swamiji said, \"It is not for research.
