About
Kashmir Shaivism Swami Lakshmanjoo said, "Kashmir Shaivism is known
as the Pure Trika system. It is 'the three-fold science of man and
his world.' Kashmir Shaivism is a philosophy meant for any human
being without restriction of caste, creed, color or gender."
Though Swami Lakshmanjoo was a master of
Sanskrit Language and completely versed in all systems of Shaiva
Philosophy, his teachings were always expressed in simple language,
accessible to the sincere aspirant.
"Trika philosophy is situated in the heart of that supreme energy
of God consciousness. It teaches you to realize that this whole
objective world, which is already in front of you, is not separate
from God consciousness. You do not have to realize God situated
in some seventh heaven. God and the individual are one, to realize
this is the essence of Shaivism."
The knowledge presented herein constitutes the treasured secrets
revealed by Swami Lakshmanjoo over a period of two decades, (1971
to 1991). These revelations form the foundation stone for 'uniting
individual consciousness with Universal God consciousness'.
