In this multimedia study set, Swami Lakshmanjoo, the fully realized philosopher saint of the long concealed and secret tradition known as Kashmir Shaivism, translates and illuminates Abhinavagupta's Paramarthasara. Originally a work of Patanjali, Abhinavagupta chose to revise and update this revered treatise in order to reveal the profundities of the Trika Shaivite doctrine. In the conclusion of the Paramarthasara Abhinavagupta tells us, "I have kept this Param rthas ra, in brief words, in one hundred verses. But although it is only one hundred verses in body, in the volume of knowledge it is more than ten million verses." Abhinavagupta's Param rthas ra encapsulates the essential teachings of the more difficult and challenging Kashmiri Shaiva works such as his voluminous Tantr loka and Utpaladeva's Ishvarapratyabijna. Unlike these treatises, however, Abhinavagupta's Paramarthasara does not indulge in exacting dialectic or concise logical argumentation. Rather, it is a straightforward piece intended primarily for novices and yet it is highly beneficial even for the more advanced Shaivite practitioner. Abhinavagupta reveals Kashmir Shaivism's unique understanding of the One and the Many and prescribes highly advanced and effective means for recognizing our true identity as the One. Swami Lakshmanjoo chose to reveal the Paramarthasara because, as Abhinavagupta tells us, the Paramarthasara contains the complete essence of the teachings of Kashmir Shaivism. In this direct and clear-cut explanation, Swamiji reveals and clarifies the essential teachings of this profound philosophical and practical tradition.

Great for hot 🥵 sleepers!!
Color: Blue(one-sided Cooling), Size: 20"x54"(Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this body pillow!!! It is a nice looking pillow, silky on the cooling side and comfy on the bamboo side. The size is perfect and it really is cooling for someone like me that is menopausal and sleeps very hot 🥵🥵🥵 It keeps me comfortable all night.. I like the amount of fill inside the pillow. As a side sleeper with back pain the thickness of the memory foam keeps my spine aligned perfectly and doesn't flatten out. Best purchase I've made for cooling comfort at a decent price point!!

Nice and adjustable by removing stuffing
Color: Blue(one-sided Cooling), Size: 20"x54"(Pack of 1), Color: Blue(one-sided Cooling), Size: 20"x54"(Pack of 1)
I really like this pillow. It fluffs up huge, and you can throw it in the dryer to fluff it up faster. It’s soft, cozy, and cooling with the cool side of the cover. What I really love about it though is you can remove stuffing easily to adjust the size and weight. It’s pretty big and heavy. It was a bit too puffy and heavy for my taste so I removed a garbage bags worth of stuffing and now it’s perfect!! Great body pillow I totally recommend.

Nice Firm
Color: Blue(one-sided Cooling), Size: 20"x54"(Pack of 1)
So I don’t love this body pillow but I do like it. This is a great pillow for anything the only downside is that it’s super heavy. It’s not something you would throw around the house that’s for sure but it does do its job when I’m sleeping and need something in between my legs my knees. It’s nice and firm not floppy, it’s perfect for a body. It’s perfect height, I’m 5’4 so it is perfect length wise. If you’re looking for something fluffy and lightweight I wouldn’t suggest this pillow but if you’re looking for something you can use for say menstrual cramps or a bad back and simply just to have between your legs than this is the pillow you want. I recommend it to anyone who doesn’t mind a little weight while making your bed. I give it 8:10.

Love this pillow!
Color: Blue(one-sided Cooling), Size: 20"x54"(Pack of 1)
Love this pillow. I bought 2. No weird smell and the cover is half cooling and half bamboo. It is also removable so that it can be washed. The inner pillow insert has a thin permanent cover on it to keep the shredded memory foam enclosed, this is standard compared to other memory foam pillows I've bought in the past. I got them on a used like new discount, and they were still vaccum sealed and truly like new. I couldn't be happier with these pillows, I am so glad I got 2.
