The Universal Shaiva Fellowship is excited to announce the DVD release of Swami Lakshmanjoo's revelation of Abhinavagupta's Paramarthasara.

In this multimedia study set, Swami Lakshmanjoo, the fully realized philosopher saint of the long concealed and secret tradition known as Kashmir Shaivism, translates and illuminates Abhinavagupta's Paramarthasara. Originally a work of Patanjali, Abhinavagupta chose to revise and update this revered treatise in order to reveal the profundities of the Trika Shaivite doctrine. In the conclusion of the Paramarthasara Abhinavagupta tells us, “I have kept this Paramarthasara, in brief words, in one hundred verses. But although it is only one hundred verses in body, in the volume of knowledge it is more than ten million verses.”

Swami Lakshmanjoo chose to reveal the Paramarthasara because, as Abhinavagupta tells us, the Paramarthasara contains the complete essence of the teachings of Kashmir Shaivism. In this direct and clear-cut explanation, Swamiji reveals and clarifies the essential teachings of this profound philosophical and practical tradition.

Video recorded revelations given by Swami Lakshmanjoo from the oral tradition of Kashmir Shaivism of Abhinavagupta's Paramarthasara (Essence of the Highest Reality).

Kashmir Shaivism

About Kashmir Shaivism Swami Lakshmanjoo said, "Kashmir Shaivism is known as the Pure Trika system. It is 'the three-fold science of man and his world.' Kashmir Shaivism is a philosophy meant for any human being without restriction of caste, creed, color or gender."

Though Swami Lakshmanjoo was a master of Sanskrit Language and completely versed in all systems of Shaiva Philosophy, his teachings were always expressed in simple language, accessible to the sincere aspirant.

"Trika philosophy is situated in the heart of that supreme energy of God consciousness. It teaches you to realize that this whole objective world, which is already in front of you, is not separate from God consciousness. You do not have to realize God situated in some seventh heaven. God and the individual are one, to realize this is the essence of Shaivism."

The knowledge presented herein constitutes the treasured secrets revealed by Swami Lakshmanjoo over a period of two decades, (1971 to 1991). These revelations form the foundation stone for 'uniting individual consciousness with Universal God consciousness'.

May the grace of Lord Shiva shine upon you.
