Secret of Self-Realization

Secret of Self Realization Paperback This eleventh century Sanskrit text of Kshemaraja epitomizes the teachings of the Kashmir Saiva philosophy, and was meant to aid aspirants to higher consciousness who were untrained in intellectual and dialectical exercises. Dr. Taimni’s elucidatory translation adheres to this approach and, avoiding technicalities, guides the non-specialist reader to the core of the illuminating truths presented in just twenty brief aphorisms. It shows that everyone can break through the limitations of normal consciousness and experience the infinite joy and power of the supreme reality. This book is an imprint of the Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar, and is imported from India.
