The Bhagavad Gita “The Song of God” is one of the most celebrated and revered scriptures in India, if not the entire world. In this multimedia study set, Swami Lakshmanjoo, the fully realized philosopher saint of the long concealed and secret tradition of Kashmir Shaivism reveals the special Kashmiri version of this sacred text enriched by Abhinavagupta’s commentary, the Gitartha Samgraha (Essence of the Gita).
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna, God incarnate, instructs his disciple Arjuna about the world and the nature of life. Why is our mind torn by conflicting duties and loyalties? What is the main purpose of our life? How are we to be freed from the pain and suffering we experience living in this world?
Swami Lakshmanjoo, by expanding on the illumined commentary of Abhinavagupta answers these questions in the light of Kashmir Shaivism. Unveiling the heretofore hidden meanings contained within the Bhagavad Gita, Swamiji tells us,“freedom from all our miseries, as Abhinavagupta boldly declares, can neither be obtained through the renunciation of the world, nor by hatred towards this world, but by experiencing the presence of God everywhere.” At last, the secrets and profound meaning of the “Lord’s Song” is being made available for the spiritual illumination of all humankind.

Kashmir Shaivism
About
Kashmir Shaivism Swami Lakshmanjoo said, "Kashmir Shaivism is known
as the Pure Trika system. It is 'the three-fold science of man and
his world.' Kashmir Shaivism is a philosophy meant for any human
being without restriction of caste, creed, color or gender."
Though Swami Lakshmanjoo was a master of
Sanskrit Language and completely versed in all systems of Shaiva
Philosophy, his teachings were always expressed in simple language,
accessible to the sincere aspirant.
"Trika philosophy is situated in the heart of that supreme energy
of God consciousness. It teaches you to realize that this whole
objective world, which is already in front of you, is not separate
from God consciousness. You do not have to realize God situated
in some seventh heaven. God and the individual are one, to realize
this is the essence of Shaivism."
The knowledge presented herein constitutes the treasured secrets
revealed by Swami Lakshmanjoo over a period of two decades, (1971
to 1991). These revelations form the foundation stone for 'uniting
individual consciousness with Universal God consciousness'.
May the grace of Lord Shiva shine upon you.
