According to the tantric traditions of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Kashmir Shaivism, no aspect of life is to be rejected. Trika Yoga, a tantric method of Kashmir Shaivism, focuses on releasing tension and allowing creative energy to flow unobstructed throughout the field of our individual experience. This first volume of a two-volume set explores in depth questions likely to face a person beginning a spiritual practice. In this volume, Swami Chetanananda explains three aspects of spiritual practice with clarity and depth: work with a teacher, private meditation, and service—becoming an instrument of the Divine. "Swamiji's insight into the core issues [of Kashmir Shaivism] underscores his grasp of the spirit of the system as a whole. For Swamiji, Kashmir Shaivism is not only a living philosophy, but also the philosophy of life." --From the Forward by Navjivan Rastogi, Department of Sanskrit, University of Lucknow, India
