• Unmodified Shiva (Nirāmaya Śiva): Unlike other Agamas that describe creation through a series of tattvas (principles), the Vatula Agama emphasizes spontaneity.
• The 10 Mudras (Vātulīya Mudrās): These are specific hand gestures and body postures used to control prana (life force) and induce non-dual awareness. These mudras are rarely explained in public texts.
• Initiation Without Form (Amūrti Dīkṣā): The text describes an initiation that bypasses external rituals, given directly by the Guru in profound silence.
