About
Mālinīvijayottara Tantra (9th-10th Century) is a foundational āgama associated with the Trika school of Kaula tantrism centered on the triad of goddesses Parā, Parāparā, and Aparā. According to Abhinavagupta, it serves as the scriptural basis for his magnum opus Tantrāloka. Āchārya Sthaneshwar examines several key themes of the text and has stated that this course provides everything the student needs to approach the study of Tantrāloka on their own. Two supplementary lectures provide an additional examination of Abhinavagupta’s devotional verses dedicated to the 50 Rudras. This self-paced course contains 14 video lectures and 14 Q&A sessions. 0.
