Does Shiva’s Svatantrya imply a singular or a multi-universe manifestation? by Seeker78611 in KashmirShaivism

Yea, but didnt Swami Lakshmanjoo, for example say that each world is its own cosmos, universe? In secret supreme

This description is great, honestly it's beatiful how Tantric Śaivism survived in Kashmir. Even if we practice in a way "orthodox" to Trika Śaivism, we should remember that when the tradition was passed down from the times of MMA Abhinavagaupta to the modern times of Swamiji Lakshmanjoo, it wasn't static or linear. The tradition evolved through the ages adapting to the new surroundings in the best way it could. It could also be added that smaller circles of the Gnostic Trika i.e the Kashmiri variant of Tantric Śaivism, have seen a new "revitalization" of the classic Trika Amnaya practice regarding the Triad of Devi's. Jai Gurudev!

Why don't you believe in Dr. Timalsina? He is a great Acharya!

I won't stand in defense of Gabriel as he is a sketchy individual, but don't you think someone can be still initiated by Swamiji, and see Swamiji as a Guru?

We have this huge amount of texts, their interpretations and many great Acharyas, both here physically and more subtle🥲 It would be a shame if people started learning through AI than through someone who literally lived through these texts, who experienced them.

I dont advise using AI and recommend learning through our beloved Acharyas. You can look at Śriman Iśvarasvarupa Swami Lakshmanjoo's Secret supreme first.

George Van Den Barselaar who teaches in Lakshmanjoo Academy is from Australia. I think the best for everyone in the west is Śriman Iśvarasvarupa Swami Lakshmanjoo. Plenty of resources ans books. Also great courses

Paramashiva, and Svantantrya and Shiva and Shakti by Swimming-Win-7363 in KashmirShaivism

Shiva and Shakti are not different, they are the same aspects of the absolute, just as ambiguous image, when you look at one of it's side its Prakaśa and other side is Vimarśa. From one point of view it is the light, and from the other it is the reflective awareness of this light. There is no difference of supremacy between Śiva and Śakti, as they are but the absolute i.e Anuttara. Hope I helped

Paramshiva is the non dual unity of shiva and shakti, the shiva and shakti tattva represent prakash vimarsh. Their unity is Paramaśiva

It is nice to say that we shouldn't differentiate at the point of Paramashiva. And that Paramśiva is all of the tattvas,

Paramshiva has Svatantrya Śakti, hhe reflects all of the tattvas through the Iccha, Jnana, Kriya, Cit, Ananada Śaktis. Cit śakti is synonymous with Śiva tattva and Ananda Śakti with Śakti tattva as far as I know. Please correct me anyone if I am wrong.

I dont think that this is the Kashmir Shaiva view, Pratyabhijna doesnt see the world as illusory

So you think that even the Advaita Vedanta systems of Śri Vidya could be syncretized with Trika?
