Moksha (liberation) in Kashmir Shaivism
John Hughes writes a clear overview of Kashmir Shaivism. This free PDF download was generously made available by the Lakshmanjoo Academy.

In so doing I will describe the unique understanding of moksha and the means of its attainment as revealed by this important tradition. I believe that after the reader has a chance to reflect on this theory they will find it to be not only unique but also quite profound. ~ John Hughes
