  • Trika (a concept of Kashmir Shaivism) in Sanskrit means trinity. On the other hand, Trika has been the name by which Kashmir Shaivism has been known before year 1900, because the concept of trinity is manifested in many ways and on multiple levels throughout its whole philosophical system. Regarding trika and kashmir Shaivism, the present secret seat holder of Trika Saasan(Śāsana)Sri Akshunnanath Mahaprabhu (Lord Sri Akshunna) says "Tantra in Trika Saasan is divided into three types of tantrasaastra called i)Shiva Saastra ii)Rudra Saastra and iii) Bhairav Saastra. In other words they deal with Bhed(dwait), Bhedaabhed(dwaitaadwait) and Abhed(adwait).So when scholars of kashmir saivism tell that Trika Saasan is the abhed or adwait branch of Saivism and is synonym with kasmir saivism we have objection and we feel sad that they who proclaim to be trika saasan scholar do no actually know true about it. Even the great modern master of kashmir Saivism Swami Lakshman joo has many wrong understandings of trika saasan and trika tantra though his contribution to uplift and preserve this tradition we appreciate greatly".
