| | Kashmir Shaivism |
| | The centre of Kashmir Shaivism was at Shrinagar in Kashmir and the Amarnath cave near Shrinagar, where there is a naturally occurring Shiva linga or symbol of the God, is a centre of pilgrimage for many Shaivas. | | | The origins of Kashmir Shaivism lay in the cremation ground traditions of Kapalika or skull-bearing ascetics who worshipped ferocious forms of Shiva, such as Bhairava, and the Goddess Kali. | | | There is also an independent revelation in the Shiva Sutras and Spanda Karikas given to Vasugupta (c.875-c.925) The term 'Kashmir Shaivism' refers to a number of traditions, principally to the Trika ('Threefold') tradition which worshipped the Goddess in the three manifestations of Para, Apara and Parapara and whose root text is the Mallinivijayottara Tantra. |

| | Trika Shaivism incorporated Tantric and Buddhist influences and adopted a monistic metaphysical doctrine similar to Advaita Vedanta (nondualist). | | | Abhinavagupta, the greatest thinker of the sect, considered the Malinivijayottara Tantra the fundamental scripture of the Trika and the essence of multi-branched Shaivism. | | | With the spread of Abhinavagupta's lineage to Tamil Nadu, the belief was propagated that Abhinavagupta was not a mortal but an avatara, incarnation, of Shiva. |

| | Introduction |
| | Kashmir Shaivism holds that it is by the grace of God (Saktipata)--in the form of the grace of the master--that Lord Shiva is revealed. | | | This, Shaivism teaches, is the nature of thinking and perception. | | | The Sanskrit word Moksha is commonly translated in English as spiritual "liberation" or "freedom." With some exceptions in the bhakti traditions it is held by all of the great philosophical and religious traditions of India to be the true and fitting purpose of all human endeavor. |

| | Kashmiri Shaivism does not advocate a life of renunciation (Sannyasahood) or profession of monks, but recommends an active householder's life with daily practice of worship, yoga and meditation. | | | In Kashmiri Shaivism we find a type of religious thought which synthesizes pluralism, dualism, and the Buddhist doctrine of Shunya, and develops a nondualist philosophy which is sweet, sublime and constructive. | | | This philosophy is closer to the theism of the Bhagvad Gita than to the nihilism of Buddha. |
