From Early Vedanta to Kashmir Shaivism: Gaudapada, Bhartrhari, and Abhinavagupta (SUNY series in Religious Studies) Hardcover – Import, 1 July 1995

This book is remarkably superb and it kind of links Gaudapada's philosophy with Kashmir Shaivism.... Kashmir Shavisim attained its spiritual heights in Kashmir during 9th to 12th century CE, but the book traces its origins to the philosophical trends emerging in Pan-Indian level.....

Russian scholar Natalia Isayeva does a superb job of introducing us to the ideas of three of India's greatest minds. Gaudapada delineated four "phase changes" of consciousness/reality, Bhartrhari described how sonic pulses of pure meaning can produce a universe, and Abhinavagupta was India's greatest tantric philosopher. This is not a book for beginners wholly new to the Indian tradition, but if you're ready to explore Hindu paradigms in more depth, this is a wonderful study.
