Pratyabhijñāhṛdaya (प्रत्यभिज्ञाहृदय) is a short book written in Sanskrit 1,000 years ago in the Valley of Kashmir.—The author, Rājānaka Kṣemarāja, called it Pratyabhijñāhṛdaya, which means ‘the Essence of the Recognition philosophy’ or ‘the Heart of the teachings on Recognition’—recognition, that is, of oneself and all beings as expression of the singular, universal, divine Consciousness. The Recognition philosophy is the most fully developed body of teachings in non-dual Śaiva Tantra. It arose in Kashmīr in the early 900s and eventually spread through the whole Indian subcontinent, being especially well studied in the far south as well as the far north.
