The chapters of this book, Kashmir Shaivism–The Secret Supreme, are based on the most essential teachings of Abhinvagupta’s magnum opus Tantrāloka. Here, the twentieth century's great philosopher saint Swami Lakshmanjoo, presents a systematic unfolding of the Tantric teachings of the ancient tradition of Kashmir Shaivism. This profound tradition, long enshrouded in secrecy, is so rich and detailed in its descriptions of the ascent of individual consciousness to universal God Consciousness, that it has been characterized as ‘a mystical geography of awareness’. Here lies the key that unlocks the secrets of the oral tradition of Kashmir Shaivism, and provides the reader with the necessary tools to venture into this wondrous landscape.
