Kashmir Shaivism is regarded as one of the most profound and transformative forms of yoga, as well as the most refined and advanced expression of tantra.

It stands as a remarkable spiritual heritage for humanity, offering a direct and effective route toward deep inner transformation and heightened awareness.

The Kashmir Shaivism course, established over two decades ago, is unique in Europe and has attracted thousands of dedicated practitioners from across the globe.

Since this tradition emphasizes a deep understanding and practical application of its principles, it is often said that a heightened state of inner awareness and awakening is necessary to truly engage with this spiritual path.

Such conditions, along with the original sacred texts, can be challenging for many people today.

However, this course presents these intricate teachings, methods, and initiatory aspects in a structured, accessible way.

This allows anyone with curiosity and a genuine desire to explore the wisdom of the Kashmir Shaivism to embark on a transformative journey, leading to profound spiritual realizations and even the highest levels of Godly attainment.

The Sanskrit term “Shiva” translates to “The Ever-Benevolent One” and represents the aspect of God as a guiding force and ultimate liberator.
