Tantraloka is the voluminous masterwork of the 10th century philosopher-saint, Abhinavagupta. It is a veritable encyclopedia of non-dual Shaivism, a spiritual treasure trove containing a glorious synthesis of all the schools that make up Kashmir Shaivism.

This second volume includes chapters two and three, dealing with anupaya, the means (upaya) where there is nothing to be done for attaining oneness with Universal Being, and sambhavopaya, the means requiring supreme awareness.

Being the last master in the direct line of Abhinavagupta, Swami Lakshmanjoo is singularly able to reveal the true meaning of this otherwise difficult (or inaccessible) text. In the accompanying audio, the sincere student can hear the words of a master who lived and breathed Kashmir Shaivism in its fullness.
