- Abhinavagupta, the 10th-century Indian philosopher, mystic, and aesthetician, was a key figure in the development of what is now known as Kashmir Shaivism, a school of thought that emphasizes the unity of consciousness and the world. His writings on philosophy, aesthetics, and music have had a profound influence on Indian culture.
His magnum opus is the Tantraloka, a comprehensive treatise on Kashmir Shaivism. He also wrote extensively on aesthetics and music. He believed that art and music are powerful tools for spiritual realization. In his writings on aesthetics, he developed a theory of rasa, or aesthetic experience and argued that rasa is a state of consciousness that is beyond pleasure and pain. It is a state of pure bliss that is experienced when the individual’s consciousness merges with the object of their aesthetic experience. A towering figure in Indian thought, his ideas continue to be studied and debated today.

What is Hinduism?

I have long pondered on what constitutes this so called religion that is sitting on the head of my Tamizh people and have come up with some conclusions ....
The priest from the Zoroastrian religion came to india with their Avestan language and fire rituals and later created some slogans in old Sanskrit to form the Vedas which was never written down.
These priest learnt the principles of the Samana tradition that originated in the southern part of the sub continent namely in the Tamizh tradition and started incorporating it into their already existent vaiteegam rituals and produced the Upanishads and became vegetarians.
For a solid philosophical footing which they needed in a highly philosophical Tamizh infused land about the 8th century Adi Sankara came up with Advaita logic that distorted the original Buddhist thoughts and produced a dichotomical nonsense which did not last the test of time.
Later they took up the Tantric Samana Tamizh tradition and put forth the bakti religiosity. This they took also from the Christian tradition and desperately created for the Islamic onslaught. Bakti was based on erotism and appealed to the masses. The high Samana tantric philosophical basis was ruined for the newly conjectured 'Hindu' religion of the wretched puranic tales.
This is the history of the Priestly class(Brahmins) that still retain their priesthood in the agamic temples that held sway through the bakti movement from the 10th century onwards. The consecutive non-Tamizh rulers firmly rooted the new found 'Hindu' religion with its caste system( the four varnas) that the British gave the final seal to....
