  • Shaktipat Thesis for Dist
    The Descent of Power: Possession, Mysticism, and Metaphysics in the Śaiva Theology of Abhinavagupta1 CHRISTOPHER D. WALLIS, M.A., M.PHIL. INTRODUCTION IT IS TO BE HOPED that the next ten years of Indological scholarship will demonstrate beyond dispute that Abhinavagupta, the great polymathic scholar and theologian of tenth-century Srīnagar, was one of the major figures in the history of Indian philosophy and religion, on par with such personages as Śaṅkara and Nāgārjuna. His importance as an expert in aesthetic philosophy and literary criticism has long been known to Sanskritists in both India and the West, and his contributions to the theories of rasa and dhvani continue to be studied. His stature as a theologian and metaphysical philosopher is just as great, though less recognized until recently. As the foremost among a number of skilled Kashmiri exegetes of various schools of the Śaiva religion, he did much to elevate Śaivism to a level of sophistication and comprehensive coherence unprecedented to that date, perhaps helping to ensure its continued patronage by royal courts and exegesis by learned scholars for centuries to come. With Muslim incursions beginning late in his 1 This paper could not have been written without two years of intensive study with Professor Alexis Sanderson of All Souls College, Oxford, whose scholarship has proved essential in advancing my understanding of Shaivism. Also very helpful was Dr. Somadeva Vasudeva, of the Clay Sanskrit Library, whose database and encyclopedic knowledge have been invaluable. The germ of the idea for this article was suggested to me when Professor Paul Muller-Ortega (University of Rochester) first pointed out to me the passage beginning at MVT 2.14.

Devotees subscribing to a variety of faiths have devised specific methods for paying obeisance to the Supreme Being. The vast mass of believers go on pilgrimage to holy places, offer prayers, read scriptures, perform prescribed rituals, carry out circumambulations, decorate holy places, make offerings as a token of faith, meditate and participate in mass prayers. Apart from the masses, there is a minuscule minority of genuine seekers of Truth for whom outward rituals are not of primary importance and who seek the presence of their Indwelling Divinity through inner means of concentration, contemplation and meditation. The inner practice of spirituality consists essentially of two components, namely (1) Jap or repeated chanting of some scriptural text, Divine name or Mantra and (2) Dhyan or meditation. Spiritual practices throughout the world have evolved around these two aspects of worship in some form or the other. Variants of Jap and Dhyan, find place in all spiritual traditions. In advanced stages of spiritual practice, there does not remain any necessity for either physical or conscious mental action.
