The youngsters who could not escape abroad had to play self-destructive roles decided by Manipulators sitting in Pakistan.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Utpaladeva (late 9th early 10th century) was a great philosopher of the School of Recognition of non-dualist Kashmir Shaivism, who established its philosophy on a solid basis with his Ishvarapratyabhijna Karikas (Verses on the Recognition of the Lord), and with three philosophical works, the Siddhitrayi. He was the predecessor (Paramaguru) of the great Abhinavagupta. But at the same time he was a mystic of bhakti as we find it here expressed in his Hymns Shivastotravali. For him, bhakti and advaita were not opposed to each other but complementary.The Shivastotravali is a collection of verses and hymns which are an expression of intense bhakti, longing for the Lord, and the mystical experience of the author and his non-dual union with Shiva. They were arranged in 20 chapters or Stotras by his disciples. Of highly poetic quality, these verses belong to the greatest mystical literatures of the world. Swami Lakshman Joo, the last Shaivacarya of Kashmir (1907 1991), combined in himself the great scholar of the tradition of Kashmir Shaivism, who taught and expounded its texts time and again to his disciples and to scholars from all parts of the world, and the perfect yogi who had an intimate experience of the spirituality contained therein. He had a special love for the Shivastotravali and expounded it many times in different languages (Kashmiri, Hindi and English). His edition of the Shivastotravali with Kshemaraja's commentary and his Hindi translation remains the standard text. In the present volume his exposition in English is brought out for the first time.…

The present volume mainly consists of original research papers. It is not a collection or anthology in which specialists of the different aspects of Kashmirian use or study of language were invited to write essays surveying the aspects best known to them or to produce state of the art reports about the scholarly study of the aspects. An effort however has been made in the introduction to provide the general background that a reader may need in order to situate the papers in the proper intellectual and historical context. The introduction further outlines the themes that could and should be particularly explored to lead us to a fuller and sharper understanding of Kashmir's analytical engagement with language. The appendices toward the end of the volume then complement the introduction by presenting objective and practical information about the manuscripts etc. of works in Sanskrit. The volume could connect the results of the work done in the past with the work to be done in the future by adding to knowledge in the present because of the articles it attracted from veteran as well as upcoming researchers. The reader will find here discussions bearing upon texts as well as discussions bearing upon the authors of texts discussions devoted to elucidating single passages as well as discussions exploring instances of intertextuality and discussions exclusively addressing individual grammars as well as discussions engaging in the relation of one grammatical school with another. 610 pp.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. A luminous torchbearer of the sacred Guru- Shishya tradition of Kashmir Shaivism, Devi Prabha Ji dedicated her life to preserving, embodying, and transmitting the wisdom she received from her revered Gurus, Swami Lakshman Joo and Devi Sharika Ji.

They will encounter a teacher whose wisdom was matched by her warmth, whose scholarship was balanced by humility, and whose guidance illuminated the spiritual path for countless seekers. Although Devi Prabha Ji herself was an acknowledged authority on Kashmir Shaivism, she remained unwavering in her conviction that Ishwar Swaroop Swami Lakshman Joo was the radiant sun at the centre of the Shaiva universe, to whom all seekers must turn for guidance and illumination. She never deviated from the path laid down by her Gurus, Swamiji and Devi Sharika Ji. A consummate devotee to the very end, her conversations were imbued with reverence for her Gurus and their teachings.
