"The book "The Tantrasara of Abhinava Gupta" edited by Mahamahopadhyaya Pandit Mukund Ram Shastri is a culturally significant work, preserving the profound insights of Shaivagama. It portrays the individual self as the Supreme Self, veiled by ignorance caused by impurity. Abhinavagupta condensed Shaivagama's principles into Tantrasara, offering clarity on paths to self-realization: through religious rites or via means based on the Supreme Lord's powers. With 22 chapters, Tantrasara serves as a concise guide, illuminating the journey towards self-identity with the Supreme. This reproduction maintains the original essence, ensuring accessibility to this valuable knowledge for generations to come.
