Description
Kashmir Shaivaism: A Brief Introduction to Ultimate Reality and the Universe. This book provides a clear introduction to the nature of ultimate reality and the manifestation of the universe according to the Trika System. It also offers a concise overview of the history of this advaita Shaiva philosophy of Kashmir. First published in 1914, it remains an accessible guide to the Tattvas of the Trika. The book's author presents a detailed analysis of the thirty-six Trika Tattvas, which represent the entire universe from a Samkhya perspective. While the Purusha and Prakriti are considered final realities in Samkhya philosophy, they are seen as derivatives in the Trika system, with eleven additional Tattvas identified above the Purusha. This concise volume offers a valuable insight into the principles of Kashmir Shaivaism, making it an ideal choice for those seeking to understand this complex philosophical tradition.
