Pratyabhijnahrdayam: The Secret Of Self-Recognition Sanskrit Text With English Translation, Notes, And Introduction

This contains the essence of all the scriptures. Must for all those who strive to know about self.

Superb book

Good work by jaidevasingh for seekers

Excellent book... Very informative... Must read for anyone interested to learn about Kashmiri Shaivism

Again, another excellent rendition by Jaideva Singh to complement his Kashmir Shaivism series. There are at least two other versions that have been available by my knowledge, but this is by far the most authoritative and accessible.

Great

Know this and you know everything :)

Content in really good. But the hardcover print quality is the worst I have seen. Devanagiri script print is not at all readable. The words are not even aligned. The ink is spread and to thick. Also at places ink is missing. Adding to all these, the page is so dull yellow. I had bought Siva sutra and Vijnanabhairava hardcover type of same author and publisher. They had really good print. This one is disappointing

good

When reading spiritual classics it is essential that the translator be a great swami or at least be a serious practicioner who has regular access to a great swami. The translator claims, and I believe him, that he had help and guidance of both his guru and Swami Laxmanjoo, the most famous modern luminary of his lineage. It is important that a spiritual system or way of looking at the entire creation be helpful, or at least a way to focus on the divine. This book delivers, though it is not necessary that all contents of the book be true. A great piece of music may have a story line that is part or all fiction, yet be true as far as getting you to experience what the composer was trying to convey. The original Pratyabhijnahrdayam was a masterpiece, the commentaries in this book are very helpful. This book is excellent because it offers some understanding. Ultimately the mind needs to be transcended, but it is easier to do so if you have some spiritual understanding first, and most spiritual traditions are quite limited compared to this one. Reading this book is a kind of spiritual practice, like yoga, chanting, or meditating. Beats shopping. Many people will not read this book because it takes more attention than reading for cheap entertainment. Spirituality is worth some effort. This book is one of the all-time greats. Every library should have one. Please buy a copy, loan it to a brainy friend who can get engrossed in spiritual teachings, you can be of service to others this way.

Uma das melhores introduções a tradição filosófica tantrica

Knowing and understanding this- nothing else is needed.

Arrived quickly enough and in good condition. Even reading the introduction can be a life changing experience, if you have some exposure to Indian practices and scriptures but are trying to go into more depth. I have the sense that this book will tie a great many things together for me. Har Har Mahadev
