Kashmir ShaivismThe philosophy of Kashmir Shaivism is considered by many scholars to be the pinnacle of the tantric tradition. Kashmir Shaivism is nondualistic, asserting that everything derives from a single source: consciousness. Shaiva philosophy explains how consciousness gives rise to the entire manifest universe and all aspects of our existence. The philosophical texts of Kashmir Shaivism give us access to this sophisticated and elegant system of understanding. |

Vajrayana BuddhismAs part of their exploration of tantric practices from many traditions, Swami Chetanananda and Nityananda Institute students have received transmission and initiation into rituals of the Longchen Nyingthig tradition of the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism as well as the Shi-je teachings of the great mahasiddha Padampa Sangye. The audio and video products offered by Rudra Press were developed as practice aids for students, and they are powerful performances for anyone to experience. |
