Description

Explore the profound depths of nondualistic Shaivism through this scholarly work by the Kashmirian polymath Abhinavagupta. Part of the Routledge Studies in Tantric Traditions series, this book presents the Paramarthasara, also known as the Essence of Ultimate Reality. This treatise provides a clear outline of the Trika doctrine, which focuses on the three essential principles: Siva, Shakti, and the embodied soul (nara). It serves as both a foundational introduction to established traditions and a deep look into the concept of jivanmukti, or liberation in this life. Whether you are a student of religion or a practitioner of Hindu philosophy, this text offers direct access to the teachings of one of history's most important exponents of nondualism. The inclusion of the commentary by Yogaraja makes it a complete resource for understanding these ancient spiritual concepts.
