Śaktipāta: When Śiva Decides You Are Ready to Awaken

Śaktipāta Explained | Kashmir Shaivism | Abhinavagupta Teachings | Grace and Awakening Discover the profound concept of Śaktipāta — the descent of divine grace — through the lens of Kashmir Shaivism and the teachings of Abhinavagupta. This video explores how Śiva’s five acts (pañcakṛtya) culminate in anugraha, the ultimate revelation of truth. Learn about the nine degrees of Śaktipāta, from instant realization to gradual awakening, and how grace manifests through both joy and struggle. Understand how Śiva’s consciousness creates, sustains, dissolves, conceals, and finally reveals itself as the Guru within. Through vivid analogies and scriptural insight from Tantrāloka and Trika philosophy, this talk unveils the living mystery of spiritual awakening — not as belief, but as a direct experience of the spanda, the pulsation of divine awareness.
