Paradwaita. The Foundations of Kashmir Shaivism.

The collection is dedicated to the unique spiritual tradition of Kashmir, which established an absolutely non-dual view of the structure of the Universe and its original harmony.

The world, with its changing decor of joy, pain, hopes, and aspirations, presents itself as a majestic play of Shiva, who acts as the screenwriter, director, actor, and audience simultaneously.

The depth and sophistication of the philosophy and practice of the Kashmiri yogis are conveyed in an exceptionally clear language, accessible for the understanding of modern readers.

The book is intended for all who feel a kinship with India, want to get to know its spiritual tradition and rich cultural-philosophical heritage more closely, and may also be useful for contemporary scholars exploring the mysteries of the universe.
