This book is of interest to philosophers of religion and Indologists, and is suitable for providing new impulses to interreligious and intercultural dialogue. For the first time, the fundamental text of the Indian doctrine of recognition of monistic Shaivism from Kashmir is made accessible in a Western language: the Sivadrsti of Somananda Natha (circa 875-925), which examines the doctrine of the equality of all manifestations described within it. Related topics discussed include the immanence of spirituality in matter, the futility of all means of knowledge due to the subjective nature of knowledge, and a critique of Buddhism.
