Synopsis

Shiva's Trident mandala is integral to the nondual Kashmiri Shaivite practice of Anuttara Trika. In this pioneering exposition, Swami Khecarantha elucidates the extraordinary spiritual tradition represented by this sacred image, offering modern practitioners a clear understanding of its enduring power, relevance, and ultimate purpose: the attainment of higher consciousness and union with God. Khecaranatha's revelations in this book are focused around the profound spiritual and scriptural wisdom of Abhinavagupta, one of the greatest saints in the Shaivite tradition.
