Tantrāloka

I am extremely pleased to present the first volume of a collection of books dealing with the superb Magnum Opus of Eminent Abhinavagupta, the Greatest Trika (a.k.a. Non-dual Shaivism of Kashmir) Master of all time: 'Tantrāloka' (Light of Tantra). For a full overview of the main teachings of this philosophy called 'Trika Shaivism', I recommend you reading my book: 'Trikamukhyamatāni - Main Tenets of Trika Shaivism', which is already available.Gabriel Pradīpaka, the founder and leader of the spiritual movement 'Parabhairavayoga', is a Guru with many followers around the world. His spiritual name, Pradīpaka, means 'the one who sheds light', the one who sheds light on the secret meaning of sacred scriptures.Gabriel Pradīpaka belongs to the lineage of Bhagavān Nityānanda whom he views as his Grandguru. He considers Svāmī Muktānanda Paramahaṁsa to be his main Guru. And he sees Svāmī Lakṣmaṇa Joo as his Non-dualistic Kashmir Shaivism Guru. Inspired by the task of Svāmi Muktānanda Paramahaṁsa who brought Non-dualistic Kashmir Shaivism to the West, Gurujī has taken on the mission of introducing people all over the world to the treasure of this amazing Teaching.Gurujī was born in Rosario, Argentina, in 1963. He studied and worked in the famous Siddha Yoga community, led by one disciple of the great Svāmī Muktānanda, from 1983 until 1989. Then, during 1989-1991 and 1995-1997 he studied, taught and worked under the guidance of one teacher. In 1997 Gurujī embarked on his own path as teacher of Non-dual Shaivism of Kashmir (Trika) and began to help spiritually-oriented people in the process known as 'Self-realization' or 'Final Liberation'. He became Guru in 2010 after attaining Liberation.Being a fully Self-realized yogī, Gabriel Pradīpaka is capable of awakening the spiritual potential of seekers through Śaktipāta, Divine Grace bestowal, which help them transcend their limitations.His teachings and translations are available on his website (published in 6 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hungarian, Russian and Hindi) at www.sanskrit-trikashaivism.comVisit www.parabhairavayoga.org, our official website, home to Parabhairavayoga based on the teachings of Gurujī.
