What is Kashmir Shaivism?

Dance of Shiva - Shakti

In the non-dualistic (God and Man are one) school of philosophy, Kashmir Shavisim, Kshemraj (the author of Pratibighnyahridayam ) explains the reality as a synthesis of Prakash and Vimarsha or the dance of Shiva and Shakti. Dr. Mrinal Kaul, a scholar from IIT Bombay, elaborates in this wonderful lecture.

Why Shaivite?

According to the Kashmir Shaivism scriptures everything is Siva (Shiva) - or Supreme Consciousness and our lives are vibrations of energy - also known as Shakti. The Siva-Shakti dance is what creates the Universe - so every particle of this Universe is part of the Supreme Consciousness. A person who accepts this idea and lives by the principles of Kashmir Shaivism is a Shaivite. Being a Shaivite does not require you to be a practicing Hindu or being religious in any way. Expanding that a little bit more - you could be practicing any faith - like Islam, Christiantiy and Buddhism to name a few, and still be a Shaivite. So, welcome!
