Light on Tantra in Kashmir Shaivism - Volume 3 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781947241145)

The Tantrāloka is a voluminous masterwork of the 10th century philosopher-saint, Abhinavagupta. It is a veritable encyclopedia of non-dual Shaivism, a spiritual treasure-trove containing a glorious synthesis of all the schools that make up Kashmir Shaivism, also known as Trika.

This third volume contains an English translation of the fourth āhnika (chapter) of the Tantrāloka, dealing with śaktopāya, the means (upāya) pertaining to knowledge (jñāna) or cognition (pramāṇa ) for the attainment of Universal God Consciousness.

The subtleties of this formidable, though accessible practice are clearly and forcefully presented by Swami Lakshmanjoo, the last accomplished exponent in the ancient line of Kashmir Shaiva masters. In the accompanying audio, the sincere student can hear the words of a completely realized master who lived and breathed Kashmir Shaivism in its fullness.
