Trika

I found this article written by my former teacher on the contributions of the Trika philosophy to the problem of "salvation" (in the Indian sense of the word).
Very interesting indeed!

Guidebook to Dreamland(s)


You're probably familiar with James Hilton's novel Lost Horizon and his invention of Shangri-La, a hidden place situated somewhere in the Himalayas in which spirituality reigns, time does not lead to decay, paradisiac surroundings, marvelous people etc. (the inspiration of which is probably Shambala).
Well, a very astute and knowledgeable traveller, Michael Buckley, wrote a guide to getting to the possible locations of Shangri-La.:) I have not yet read the book, but will do so the minute I get my hands on it. It does seem to be a great read.
In the meantime, I found this nice interview with the author about the book.

PS: for an English explanation of Shambala, here.
