Exploration of the meaning of the term ‘Anuttara’ and the Kashmiri tradition.

“That which is most excellent” By Dr. Mark Dyczkowski

In this free lecture, Dr. Mark Dyczkowski explores the meaning of the term “Anuttara” and the Kashmiri tradition associated with it.

Anuttara literally means “that which has nothing higher” or “the most excellent.” In the context of Kashmir Shaivism, it refers to the supreme non-dual reality that transcends all categories and concepts. This lecture provides essential understanding of this fundamental term that names the highest teaching of the Trika tradition – Anuttara Trika – emphasizing the absolute and unsurpassable nature of the divine consciousness that is both the source and substance of all existence.

The critical exposition will complement any introductory level text for a serious student.
