Light on the Doctrine of Krama

225
Swami Lakshmanjoo was born in Kashmir in 1907. He revived Kashmir Saiva Darsana through his teachings and discourses, and was the last in the unbroken lineage of Saiva masters. This book is an English translation of a short treatise on Krama written by him in 1958. Swami Lakshmanjoo brings Kalisastra to light, describing the twelve Kalis, as given in the Kramastotra and the Tantraloka. In doing so, he presents the twelve sequential states of yoga for the highest of yogis (one who is endowed with the miracle of Turiya in the three states of wakefulness, dreaming and dreamless sleep).

It is important both because it is early and especially because it contains copious references to Pancaratra sources--the earliest dateable ones so far recovered. Mark Dyczkowski has translated this text in his book Stanzas on VibrationThe Spandakarika with Four Commentaries.
