Pratyabhijna

Pratyabhijna, meaning "recognition," is a central concept in Kashmir Shaivism, emphasizing self-awareness and spiritual awakening. It teaches that our true nature is divine consciousness, and through inner realization, we recognize this divine essence within ourselves. By awakening to our inherent divinity, we transcend illusion and separation, experiencing unity with the universe. Essentially, Pratyabhijna is about reclaiming our divine identity by recognizing our intrinsic connection to the universal consciousness, leading to spiritual liberation and inner fulfillment.
