Might payoff or be necessary to study through the notes and glossary of terms before jumping head first into this one. Otherwise a bit inaccessible for an intro into Kashmir Shaivism without prior studying or knowledge of Sanskrit or Hindi.

Maybe one I revisit in the future for greater comprehension into this spiritual study of the 'highest realms.' Tickled my interest to say the least.

[Allen O'Dell Harper · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very short text of 20 sutras that gives a full overview of the trika philosophy of Kashmir Shaivism. It is all about recognizing the divine within yourself and within everything else. Deep and easential.

A fine translation but he enjoys frequently, harshly critiquing a prior translator in the footnotes. The commentary is dry and academic. Christopher Wallis' modern translation and commentary (The Recognition Sutras) is much better and honestly one of the most inspiring books I've ever read.

Shivoham.
