Description
This book explores the non-dualistic Kashmir Shaivism tradition, with a focus on the bodily experience of Shakti (divine power) in Shaiva Kundalini-Yoga. It examines the concept of shaktisparsha (touch of Shakti) within the Trika system of Shaivism, emphasizing the works of Utpaladeva (Shivastotravali, 10th century) and Abhinavagupta (Tantraloka, 11th century).
Key Themes Covered:
- Historical evolution of Kashmir Shaivism, especially Trika philosophy
- Analysis of shaktisparsha in relation to spiritual awakening
- Comparison of the interpretations of sparsha (touch) in Shivastotravali and Tantraloka
- Examination of Shakti as a liberating force within Shaiva Kundalini-Yoga
- The role of divine energy in the mystical experience of transcendence
A valuable resource for scholars of Indology, Indian religious-philosophical traditions, and those interested in Shaivism, Tantra, and Kundalini-Yoga.
