Kashmir Shaivism

A question to carry

How is one’s nature recognized within the living expression of consciousness?

This library uses the name for an introductory grouping of nondual Shaiva teachings associated with Kashmir, with Lakshmanjoo as its initial guide.

Words you will meet

Pratyabhijna

Recognition, a central term in a philosophical school within this grouping.

Shakti

Divine power or expressive capacity; interpret within the specific text.

Spanda

A term often rendered vibration or pulsation, with a technical meaning beyond physical movement.

A distinction worth keeping

Its account of world and consciousness differs from other nondual frameworks; initiation-dependent practices are outside this beginner pathway.
