Description

This monograph delves deep into the tantric Shaiva non-dualism traditions of Kashmir, specifically focusing on the Kula and Krama traditions. It explores the historical and evolutionary growth of these traditions and examines how Krama continues to be a relevant and living mode of contemplation and thought. The work builds upon Jayaratha's insights, discussing the intra-systemal diversity and the process-centric approach that has shaped the tantric meaning, typology, and ritual praxis within these traditions.

A key feature of the book is its reassessment of how Abhinava's exegesis positions Kula and Krama within the broader tantric system. It also introduces significant, previously unpublished texts such as the Chumma-sampradaya by Nishkriyanandanatha, Kaulasutra, Shodashasvarakala by Shitikantha, and others, thus expanding the corpus of Krama and Kula literature. This work is valuable for scholars and researchers exploring Kashmir Shaivism, Tantra, and the philosophical underpinnings of the Kula and Krama traditions.
