Three Points of Power: The Cosmic Significance of Shiva's Trident explores one of Hinduism's most profound symbols—the Trishula—as more than a divine weapon. Through mythological stories, sacred texts, and inner inquiry, this book decodes the spiritual layers hidden within the three-pronged spear held by Lord Shiva.
Each chapter reveals how the Trident reflects the universal forces that govern both cosmos and consciousness. The three points represent key triads of existence: the three Gunas (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas), the three dimensions of time (Past, Present, Future), and the three spiritual paths (Jnana, Bhakti, Karma). As a whole, the Trishula becomes a powerful guide to self-mastery, inner stillness, and awakening.
Drawing from the Shiva Purana, Upanishads, and epic narratives, the book discusses how Shiva's Trishula is used to destroy inner demons—symbolizing the ego, ignorance, and attachment. It weaves together ancient wisdom and modern insight to help readers recognize the symbolic battle within themselves and apply this understanding to daily life.
The book also delves into how the Trishula maps onto the energy system of the human body, representing the Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna nadis, offering practices to align the inner currents of life. It connects the silence between the prongs to the non-dualistic core of Advaita Vedanta, guiding the reader toward a direct experience of pure awareness beyond opposites.
Rather than focusing only on philosophy, the book includes practical tools: self-inquiry exercises, meditative visualizations, and spiritual reflections designed to help readers embody the essence of Shiva's Trident—balance, clarity, and transcendence.
From the origin of the Trishula in Vedic mythology to its relevance in the modern spiritual seeker's journey, Three Points of Power uncovers how this ancient symbol serves as a living map to transformation. The final chapters encourage readers to move from intellectual understanding to direct experience—recognizing that the Trident is not just Shiva's weapon, but a mirror of the awakened self.
