Description
The Netra Tantra ("Tantra of the Third Eye of Shiva"), also known as Mrtyujit ("Conqueror of Death"), is a key scripture in non-dualist Kashmir Shaivism (Trika). This profound text uniquely explores the Third Eye of Shiva as both its title and central theme, making it a fundamental work in the Tantric tradition.
The book provides an insightful introduction to the Netra Tantra, along with a detailed interpretation of three significant chapters focusing on Yoga and overcoming death:
- Chapter 1: The Eye of Shiva
- Chapter 7: Subtle Yoga
- Chapter 8: Supreme Yoga
The text is presented in Devanagari script, along with transliteration and English translation, featuring the 11th-century commentary of Kṣemarāja, a renowned disciple of Abhinavagupta. Additionally, an appendix includes illustrations related to the concept of trinetra (Third Eye) from various sources, particularly those connected to Kashmir. It also offers a comparative study on "The Spiritual Eye in Christian Mystical Traditions."
This work is a significant contribution to the study of Kashmir Shaivism, particularly in the realm of Yogic practices and its philosophical implications.
