SPECIAL OFFER: Sign up for the Workshop Series: Trika Shaivism, The Heart of Recognition, and the Mini-Workshop is a FREE GIFT!

This three-hour online mini-workshop introduces the profound teachings of Kashmir Shaivism from the Pratyabhijna School through the text “The Heart of Recognition from the Siddha Kshemeraja." Learn more about a meditative practice that penetrates the state of “instantaneous recognition."

The teachings of the Pratyabhijna school relate to those of Dzochen and Essential Mahamudra. The term “pratyabhijna” suggests the spontaneous recognition and realization of the True Self. Without moving anywhere or doing anything, the goal is to know “Who We Truly Are" here and now, whether in our daily experience or the rapture of the Supreme Being!

This 3-hour online workshop offers an overview of the essence of a more extended series focusing on a text, "The Heart of Recognition,” composed in the 10th century by Kshemaraja, a philosopher disciple of the sage Abhinavagupta. The entire work consists of only 20 sutras, which will be explored in the program as a whole series. “Sutra” in Indian literary traditions refers to a verse or a collection of aphorisms in the form of a manual or, more broadly, a condensed text.

Coming from the tradition of Kashmir Shaivism, the work associates supreme consciousness with Lord Shiva. It gives us, in a beautiful condensation, the “secret” or heart (hridaya) of an enormous volume of teachings: the process and the various stages by which Divine Consciousness becomes the world of forms and ultimately delights in the recognition (pratyabhijna) of itself, as revealed in the dynamics of our particular consciousness.

If you find resonance in this introductory workshop, we invite you to join the online live-streamed series of ten sessions that will be hosted on Tuesdays, April 4 through June 13, 2023. Click Here to view the full program details.

It will include experiential practices to help ignite and/or strengthen your connection to the Heart of Recognition. Whether you are new to the Ontogony Teachings or a seasoned practitioner of one of the paths, this series is intended to advance your journey and create an adequate environment for conscious living with grace.

Program Highlights

  • Understand the value of a path centred on Shiva (the masculine principle), Shakti (the feminine principle), and Anu (the individual soul);
  • Experience the connections with the tradition of Kashmir Shaivism, which associates supreme Consciousness with Lord Shiva;
  • Gain a fuller experience of the state:  “spontaneously to, once again, recognize and realize your Self”;
  • Discover new levels of understanding and be prepared to participate in studying the 20 Sutras or verses of this text, inviting “instant recognition” of what we are from different perspectives.

As you participate in this mini-workshop, may your understanding blossom into pure knowledge and bring you recognition of your True Nature!
