Publisher's Summary
One thousand years ago in the valley of Kashmir, a great Tantric master named Ksemaraja wrote his masterpiece: the Pratyabhijna-hrdaya, which means "The Essence of the Recognition Philosophy" - recognition, that is, of oneself as a direct expression of the universal divine Consciousness. Recognition also that this Consciousness is, in truth, all that exists, and that its five fundamental powers of awareness, enjoyment, willing, knowing, and acting are the sacred endowments of every sentient being.
The Pratyabhijna-hrdaya was a concise primer, written to introduce spiritual seekers to the Recognition philosophy in less formally philosophical, more approachable language. What Ksemaraja created turned out to be one of the world's great spiritual masterpieces, breathtaking in its brevity but stunning in its power. It came to be considered equivalent to scripture itself by later generations, because of its undeniable inspiration.
One of the most powerful and revelatory spiritual masterpieces of world history, the Pratyabhijna-hrdaya is one of the primary sources for the study and practice of nondual Tantrik Yoga, and it has never been accurately translated or fully explained until now. Christopher Wallis, author of Tantra Illuminated: The Philosophy, History, and Practice of a Timeless Tradition, expounds the subtleties of this spiritual and philosophical classic.

Maya redeemed
Maya redeemed, and as a consequence All is light. Wallis know’s and expresses this sutras in the language of the day. Albeit somewhat folksy which adds to the profundity.

Brilliant!
I've studied this text twice in year -long courses.
However, Dr. Wallis' oral rendering adds another level of energy and understanding - while also being down to earth. He is both an outstanding scholar and a very relatable longtime practitioner.
For those compelled to know the Truth, I highly recommend this!

literal treasure
It's amazing what you can get for the price of admission - this was the kind of root text (a highly specialized technical document on the nature of awareness) that can present a total opacity to a non-specialist. This presentation is tremendous - what an amazing find!

Great translation of unknown Saivite scripture
This was an inspiring find: a previously unknown scripture which is said to offer potential enlightenment to the sincerely engaged reader. Perhaps not a starting place for the average newcomer to Saivite philosophy but a new source of sustenance for practitioners of Siddha Yoga in the West. #Audible1
