Bhairava - Esoteric Meaning | Explained by Swami |Tantra| Sri Ramakrishna Philosophy

Swamiji explains the esoteric meaning of Bhairava as per the Kashmir Shaiva Tantra.
The Kashmir Shaivism tradition, also called Trika Shaivism, is a non-dualist branch of Shaiva-Shakta Tantra Hinduism that originated in Kashmir after 850 CE. In its place of origin in Kashmir, this tradition is commonly referred to as "Kashmiri Shaivism." It later spread beyond Kashmir, with its great scholar Abhinavagupta calling it "Trika" (meaning "the Trinity"). It particularly flourished in the states of Odisha and Maharashtra. Defining features of the Trika tradition are its idealistic and monistic Pratyabhijna ("Recognition") philosophical system, propounded by Utpaladeva (c. 925-975 CE) and Abhinavagupta (c. 975-1025 CE), and the centrality of the three goddesses Parā, Parāparā, and Aparā.
Swami Sarvapriyananda (Pre-Monastic name Biswarup Palit) is a Hindu monk (sannyasi) belonging to the Ramakrishna Order. He is the current resident Swami and head of the Vedanta Society of New York, a position he has been serving since January 2017.
