In these lectures Professor Sanderson will introduce the opening verses of the Tantrāloka of Abhinavagupta (fl. c. 975-1025), that author’s monumental exposition of the Śaiva Tantras from the standpoint of the Śākta Śaiva tradition known as the Trika and the philosophical non-dualism of the Pratyabhijñā texts.
Alexis Sanderson began his Indological career as a student of Sanskrit at Oxford in 1969, studying the Kashmirian Śaiva literature in Kashmir with the Śaiva Guru Swami Lakshman Joo from 1971 to 1977. He was Associate Professor (University Lecturer) of Sanskrit at Oxford and a Fellow of Wolfson College from 1977 to 1992 and then the Spalding Professor of Eastern Religions and Ethics at Oxford and a Fellow of All Souls College from 1992 to 2015. Since then, he has been preparing a critical edition of the Tantrāloka with a translation and commentary. His field is early medieval religion in India and Southeast Asia, focusing on the history of Śaivism, its relations with the state, and its influence on Buddhism and Vaishnavism.
Sir Sanderson is one of the greatest scholar of Kashmir Shaivism.
I am very happy to see that he is working on Śrī Tantraloka.
Hope Sir Sanderson will publish his Tantraloka lectures.
Thank you Professor Sanderson and Professor Flood. It is a rare honor to study Abhinavagupta with both of you.
Prof.Sanderson is an example of accuracy and logical finesse that all textual scholars should follow. He is one of the few scholars that still remain dedicated to their discipline , dettached from all those hindrances he talks about at the beginning .
Can feel Abhinava, just by listening to his lecture. Profound thanks and gratitude. Starting my Sunday by listening to him has made my day.
amazing talk by the mahapandit, looking forward to the next session. Thank you OCHS for sponsoring and inviting Professor Sanderson to speak.
Our pleasure!
Could Professor Sanderson please have a microphone next time? It's sometimes difficult to hear him over background noise. And since he *is* the world's leading expert in this field, we do so want to hear him clearly . . . ;)
Very unfortunate
🙏🏼🌼thank you for this blissful and beautiful 🌸

🙏🏽🙏🏽धन्यवाद
Excellent
Are the handouts available? they would be of great help
Can someone explain what Sanderson means with 'pre-cognitive impulse' as being one of Shiva's powers?
I believe he is referring to iccha-śakti, sometimes translated as the power of will. Does that help? An impulse that does not come from conceptual thought.
@@sarahtaub yes, helps a lot! Thanks
🙏🙌
