Kashmir Shaivism is a universal spiritual philosophy based on the supreme unity of the individual self with the God.
It accepts all the aspects of life in totality and teaches the path of realization through Divine Grace.
Pleasep contemplate on 4 features of Kashmir Shaivism. Would love to elaborate.
1) Universal Spiritual Philosophy – beyond the considerations of caste, creed, gender, etc. Everybody is welcome.
2) Supreme Unity of the Individual Self with God – We and everybody have emanated from Him and are just part of Him. Rev. Swami Laxman Joo would explain Kashmir Shaivism as “Para Advaita”, that encompasses and transcends all traditions.
3) Diversity – As I said Kashmir Shaivism accepts all the aspects of life in totality. No doubt, God has made everybody differently. We should respect diversity as divine.
4) Divine Grace (Anugrah) – it is independent of human efforts and the only way to transformation / realization. Grace can come on those whom He chooses. This is a very subtle aspect. What can humans do? Make effort to be worthy of receiving His Grace.
