Where is the Self established ('the glamour of Lord Shiva' in Kashmir Shaivism) four aṇḍas self svacchanda tantra Mar 23, 2026

This section explores the “glamour of Lord Śiva” in Kashmir Shaivism. Through the following excerpts from ParamārthasāraThe Essence of the Highest Reality—by Abhinavagupta, we begin to understand how this “glamour” relates to the place where the real Self is firmly established.
