Abhinavagupta’s Hermeneutics of the Absolute Anuttaraprakriya
This study by Bettina Baumer is important and welcome because it deals with what may well be considered as the very core-metaphysically and mystically-of Abhinavagupta's teaching, and of what he still can tell and teach us. Its importance is, of course and foremost, due to the fact that it deals with a work by Abhinavagupta who-as Bettina Baumer forcefully says in her introduction-is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable.

The Yoga of Netra Tantra
The inspiration for taking up the study of the Netra Tantra and its Yoga is entirely due to my guru, Swami Lakshman Joo (1907-91), who allowed me access to the tradition of Trika or non-dualist Kashmir Saivism. My gratitude to him is unbounded and has been guiding me in every endeavour of studying and practising this great spiritual tradition, when can contribute tremendously with a practical way to experience it.
