1. INTRODUCTORY SANSKRIT CLASSES WITH ROBERT BHĀSKARA UPĀCĀRYA: These introductory Sanskrit classes offer a different doorway into the ancient language of most of India's philosophical and spiritual traditions. Instead of following a linear, textbook-style course, each session explores a distinct topic from the world of Yoga and uses it as a living context for learning Sanskrit. While exploring the nature of spiritual processes, philosophical ideas, and quotes from the sacred scriptures, pronunciation, Devanāgarī writing, and basic grammatical concepts are introduced and practiced organically. Because the classes are non-linear, anyone can join at any time. Each session stands on its own, yet together they gradually build solid foundations in Sanskrit.
2. Schedule: Every Friday at 6 PM Hungarian time via Zoom.
3. Contact: If you would like to join or get further information, please contact Robert Bhāskara at the following email address: .

1. TRIKA SHAIVISM COURSE AND SATSAṄGA – WEEKLY ACTIVITIES:
   Trika Shaivism or Non-dual Shaivism of Kashmir is one of India's non-dual philosophical traditions. The word Trika means "Triple", because this system teaches about the triad and inseparable unity of Śiva (the Self), Śakti (the Power of the Self), and nara (the human being). In short: the human being is essentially the Supreme Self, and the direct recognition of this mysterious Truth is called Liberation.
2. Introductory Course:
   This theoretical-practical course presents a clear and detailed introduction to Non-dual Shaivism of Kashmir (Trika Shaivism), whose objective is to explore the nature of Non-dual Consciousness. The purpose of the course is to introduce sincere aspirants to the secrets of this Sacred Philosophy.
   - Introduction to Non-dual Shaivism of Kashmir
   - Starting in mid-February!
3. Satsaṅga-s:
   These Satsaṅga-s are an open invitation to pause, step out of the usual movement of seeking, and explore the Great Mystery of Existence in the Light of Trika Shaivism.
   - Weekly Satsaṅga-s on Trika Shaivism
   - Every Sunday at 8 PM Hungarian time
4. Led by: Robert Bhāskara Upācārya

1. German Mandra, of Argentine nationality, has been promoted to the rank of “Parabhairavayogopācārya”—Upācārya (Teacher) of Parabhairavayoga—due to his service and dedication toward me over the past three years, and for his remarkable commitment to the study of Parabhairavayoga and Trika Shaivism. Consequently, he now possesses sufficient authority, under my supervision, to teach everything related to Parabhairavayoga and Trika Shaivism.
2. His natural path is first to become a putraka (spiritual son) and then an Ācārya (i.e., Guru). All information regarding the activities of our Upācārya-s is available here: Upācārya-s.
3. In fact, all my Upācārya-s and Upācāryā-s now have my permission to bestow Śaktipāta (bestowal of Grace) in my name. Therefore, if someone needs my Grace, it is not necessary to come directly to me, as any of my teachers can now do so on my behalf.
4. What is Parabhairavayoga? On the Parabhairavayoga website, there is a brief description about it. In Trika Shaivism there are four schools: Spanda, Pratyabhijñā, Kula, and Krama. In Parabhairavayoga, I place greater emphasis on the Spanda and Pratyabhijñā schools, and less emphasis on Kula and Krama. This is another distinctive feature of Parabhairavayoga.
5. Ivan Nandī, collaborator and Upācārya, undertook the tedious task of compiling the IAST transliterations of all Trika scriptures available to date. This new resource is primarily intended for scholars. How to find the download page for the file containing all transliterations? There are two ways: One is by using the accordion menu on the right and navigating to "Essentials/Important/Download Scriptures". The other way is by using the link located at the top right in the navigation bar. As more scriptures are translated, the download will be duly updated.
6. I will soon resume my English translation of the Vijñānabhairava. I have been very busy with other matters during this entire time, such as editing and uploading videos.
7. Gurumā, my wife, continues her prolonged work translating the Tantrāloka into Russian: She has already completed more than 300 stanzas of chapter 15.
8. Robert Bhāskara, our Hungarian collaborator, has corrected the Hungarian language in the following scripture: Spandakārikā-s.
9. I am holding satsaṅga-s (meetings) via Zoom every Saturday at 4:00 PM (Moscow time), where I teach various topics. If you wish to participate, please ensure fluency in English and/or Spanish, and then fill out this form. I am currently teaching my Vāstavāhantāpravacanam (A Discourse about the Real I). I upload new videos to the YouTube channel every weekend.
10. To access all my books, simply visit this section (Library) on our official Parabhairavayoga website. There you can purchase whatever you wish, thereby supporting my work on this site, which remains completely free... and ad-free. For many years I have been offered to display “ads” (advertisements), but I have always rejected them so as not to disturb my visitors. Yes, I also find ads on websites annoying, so I do not want that for my devoted readers.
11. Enjoy!

1. A whole month of this new year 2026 has already passed!
2. Next, I inform you that I have started publishing the previously private videos of my Sanskrit Classes. I am uploading them gradually to YouTube, after editing them, so that everyone can enjoy them. No, once again, I do not charge anything for this Sanskrit course. My intention is to continue the spiritual mission through donations without charging people directly.
3. There are many videos (about 33 at the time I write this news... I produce a new one every Thursday), but I am uploading them gradually each day after removing all superfluous content. Regarding this — I want to thank Germán Mandra, Judit Mātṛkā, Nicole Satī, and Robert Bhāskara for their immense help in the arduous task of indicating to me exactly where all that content that does not need to be published is located. So, nothing more for now; I hope you are very happy with this novelty and continue learning Sanskrit with us:
   Sanskrit Class - Level 1.
4. I am holding satsaṅga-s (meetings) via Zoom every Saturday at 4:00 PM (Moscow time), where I teach on various topics. If you wish to participate, make sure you are fluent in English and/or Spanish, and then fill out this form. I am currently teaching my Vāstavāhantāpravacanam (A Discourse about the Real I). I upload new videos to the YouTube channel every weekend. I am only a few months away from completing this text, which I composed last year. This year I will teach my own book: Parabhairavayogasaṁsthāpanapracodanam (along with its short commentary).
5. To access all my books, simply visit this section (Library) on our official Parabhairavayoga website. There you can purchase whatever you wish, thereby helping me sustain my work on this site, which remains completely free... and ad-free. For many years I have been offered to display “ads” (advertisements), but I have always rejected them so as not to disturb my visitors. Yes, I also find ads on websites annoying, so I do not want that for my eager readers.
6. Enjoy it!

1. Happy New Year to everyone!
2. I am taking a break from my translations for a few days. However, since I can't stay idle, I decided to record videos from home. I added several videos on topics my disciples often ask me about. In them, I go straight to the point, with minimal use of Sanskrit. I have already covered some topics in my Saturday satsaṅga-s, but due to the heavy scholarship in them, some people might feel confused. In contrast, in these videos from my own home, I try to be as simple and direct as possible. I speak in English and Spanish there, but one of my disciples is making Russian and English subtitles (he has reached video 6 so far, and is still progressing). You can watch them all in this playlist on my YouTube channel:

1. FEATURE: Some people wish to read my translations more comfortably without all that Sanskrit text in red color, etc. They don't want to see the Sanskrit signs (devanāgarī) either. OK, with the help of one of my programmers, I implemented a script resolving that problem: Check this page (bottom left). Now you can "remove/add again" all that text interfering in your reading. Feature working in all the six languages supported by the website.

TANTRĀLOKA HAS BEEN TOTALLY TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH

1. After about 600 days (4000+ hours) of continued translation, I, Gabriel Pradīpaka, have finished my detailed translation of the venerable Abhinavagupta's Tantrāloka.
2. It is NOT the first translation of Tantrāloka into English, but it IS the first "word-for-word" translation of Tantrāloka into English in history.
3. For free and without any ads. No, you do not have to pay anything to read it. It is fully available at not cost at all on this website, and without any pestering ads (no need to use adblockers here).
4. All typos and possible mistakes in my translation will be fixed in the future, when I translate the Jayaratha's commentary on Tantrāloka.
5. Versions in Spanish and Russian are work in progress. Many hours of hard work are left yet!

1. Oh, I haven’t posted any news since May! Very well, we’ve been working very hard, as always, so this will be a long list of updates. But first things first: “a new Upācārya and successor has been appointed by me”:
2. Roman Vasugupta, of Russian nationality, has been promoted to the rank of “Parabhairavayogopācārya”—Upācārya (Master) of Parabhairavayoga—due to his service and dedication to me over the past eleven years, and for his remarkable commitment to the study of Parabhairavayoga and Trika Shaivism. Consequently, he now holds sufficient authority, under my supervision, to teach everything related to Parabhairavayoga and Trika Shaivism.
3. His natural path is first to become putraka (spiritual son) and later Ācārya (i.e., Guru). All information regarding the activities of our Upācārya-s can be found here: Upācārya-s.
4. What is Parabhairavayoga? On the Parabhairavayoga website, there is a short description of it. In Trika Shaivism there are four schools: Spanda, Pratyabhijñā, Kula, and Krama. In Parabhairavayoga, I place greater emphasis on the Spanda and Pratyabhijñā schools and less emphasis on Kula and Krama. This is another distinctive feature of Parabhairavayoga.
5. By the inner command of Parabhairava, I founded the Parabhairavāmnāya or (written) Tradition of Parabhairava. The Supreme Lord heard our prayers for a tradition completely devoid of goddess worship and other deities, and where only the venerable Parabhairava prevails as the Supreme Deity. He is thus the seventh face of Lord Śiva. You can read more about this important event on the official website of our beloved Yoga.
6. I have finished translating into English chapters 18 through 31 of the venerable Tantrāloka composed by Abhinavagupta. Right now I am translating chapter 32. I am close to completing my translation task of this scripture, which contains thirty-seven chapters.
7. Regarding the Tantrāloka, I want to say this so you don’t get false hopes: 99% of the people who read this scripture will NOT understand it. Even in my case, with years of experience in Trika and Sanskrit, I still struggle with certain passages. It is not a light scripture but an extremely heavy one, and in my opinion, only suitable for Gurus and very advanced disciples. Abhinavagupta’s writing style is, as always, monotonous and sometimes very tedious, so one must arm oneself with great patience to follow it. Half of the scripture consists of rituals and more rituals. If rituals aren’t your thing, forget about reading all that. Other parts of the text deal with various topics... and I still wonder why Abhinavagupta wrote all of it. The most torturous part for me was chapter 31. My only wish while translating it was for Abhinavagupta to simply finish writing. Not everything is like that, obviously—there are portions that are very interesting. In any case, if you find the Tantrāloka extremely difficult to digest, read the Tantrasāra (complete translation available only in English for now), which is a prose summary of the Tantrāloka also composed by Abhinavagupta. Anyway, I will write a full critique of the Tantrāloka once I finish translating it, if Śiva so desires (I could die at any moment, just like all of you, as you know).
8. Gurumā, my wife, continues her long work of translating the Tantrāloka into Russian: She has now completed the first twelve chapters. She is currently immersed in translating chapter 13 and is close to finishing it. Thousands of hours are required to complete the entire massive Tantrāloka in each language, as you can imagine.
9. In the future, I will need to complete the Tantrāloka in Spanish, of which I have only translated the first seven chapters. I will have to spend hundreds of hours doing that. My detractors —who are professional liars and slanderers— claim that I don’t translate anything but merely copy and paste from books by Indian authors. They should watch me work six or more hours a day to stop lying and understand the great effort I make with my mind and body. In fact, I pour my life into every translation, and I charge nothing for it. It’s easy to destroy, but very hard to build.
10. Robert Bhāskara, our Hungarian collaborator, has been translating into his language new documents from the Sanskrit section, from the Verbs subsection up to the Pronunciation 6 document: Here you can see what he has done.
11. Lucas Dhanvantari (along with the Brazilian twins Paulo and Claudio), our Brazilian collaborator, has finished translating a very important scripture of Trika Shaivism: The Paramārthasāra of Abhinavagupta. All my congratulations go to him!
12. I am holding satsaṅga-s (meetings) via Zoom every Saturday at 4:00 PM (Moscow time), where I teach on various topics. If you wish to participate, please ensure you are fluent in English and/or Spanish, and then fill out this form. I am currently teaching my Vāstavāhantāpravacanam (A Discourse on the Real Self).

ANNIVERSARY: 26 YEARS!

1. Dear visitors, on June 1^st, we will be celebrating the 26th Anniversary of our beloved website!
2. Relevant news from this past year:
3. (1) Launch of the Parabhairavayoga Foundation website.
4. (2) Appointment of teachers and successors authorized to teach Parabhairavayoga and Trika Shaivism.
5. (3) Continuation of my English translation of Abhinavagupta's Tantrāloka. If everything goes as planned, I will finish translating this scripture in October.
6. (4) Ongoing translation of Tantrāloka into Russian (up to Chapter 9 so far).
7. (5) Translation of the Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā-s into English, Spanish, and Russian.
8. (6) I finished writing the first portion of my Trika Shaivism scripture in Sanskrit: Vāstavāhantāpravacanam (A Discourse on the Real Self). Also available in Spanish, Russian, and partially in Hungarian.
9. (7) I finished composing the Parabhairavayogasamayāḥ (Rules in Parabhairavayoga) in Sanskrit. Also available in Spanish, Russian, and Hungarian.
10. It has been a year of immense work. Just finishing the Tantrāloka in English entails over 3,500+ hours of labor in nearly two years (I hope to complete the translation by next October). Conservatively, I estimate I’ve invested over 2,200 hours of work in the past twelve months—not only on the Tantrāloka but also on other scriptures—and I’m still working. And my collaborators have also invested thousands of hours of selfless work, not to mention dollars (to keep everything running). I hope that when death comes to my body, it finds me serving the Supreme Lord and not chasing some foolish desire on this insignificant planet. All for the glory of our beloved Śiva, the Lord of Everything.
11. Statistics from the past twelve months:
12. To summarize the statistics shown, in the past twelve months, we’ve had around 1,928,000 visits, approximately 9.5 million pages, nearly 20 million files, and an impressive 26.3 million hits—not to mention 1.427 terabytes of bandwidth consumed and between 39,000 and 61,000 linked sites per month. Yes, it’s a resounding success for a niche site like ours.
13. Our visitors come from many countries across the globe. Here are the top 25 in 2025 by page count: (1) United States, (2) Canada, (3) India, (4) Russian Federation—these are, by far, the leading countries! The list continues: (5) Poland, (6) Great Britain, (7) Sweden, (8) Brazil, (9) Spain, (10) Japan, (11) Ukraine, (12) Hungary, (13) Germany, (14) China, (15) France, (16) Israel, (17) Netherlands, (18) Argentina, (19) Egypt, (20) Mexico, (21) Romania, (22) Australia, (23) Indonesia, (24) Italy, and (25) Iran, etc.
14. I’m giving satsaṅga-s (gatherings) via Zoom every Saturday at 16:00 (Moscow time), where I teach on various topics. If you’d like to participate, make sure you’re fluent in English and/or Spanish, then fill out this form. I’m currently teaching my Vāstavāhantāpravacanam (A Discourse on the Real Self). I upload new videos to the YouTube channel every weekend.
15. Although Amazon.com is the headquarters for all my books, they’re also available at: Barnes & Noble, Ebay, Booklooker, Betterworldbooks, MercadoLibre, and many more (search for "gabriel pradiipaka" on all those websites).
16. Enjoy!

1. Several important news items:
2. Nicole Satī, an Argentine national, has been promoted to the rank of "Parabhairavayogopācāryā" —Upācāryā (Teacher) of Parabhairavayoga— for her outstanding dedication to the study of Parabhairavayoga and Trika Shaivism, and for her love and service to me, her Guru. She therefore has enough authority, under my supervision, to teach everything related to Parabhairavayoga and Trika Shaivism.
3. The natural path for her is to become first a putrikā (spiritual daughter) and later an Ācāryā (i.e., Gurvī —female Guru—). All information regarding the activities of our Upācārya-s can be found here: Upācārya-s.
4. Likewise, I designate her as well as István Tamás Tryambaka and Robert Bhāskara as my current successors. Although they are not yet fully Guru-s, they are destined to become fully Self-realized Great Sages. The same Light that shone in Bhagavān Nityānanda and now shines in me will shine in my successors. It is Śiva's Command, and nothing and no one in this impetuous Saṁsāra (painful transmigration) can change what He has decreed.
5. What is Parabhairavayoga? On the Parabhairavayoga website there is a short description of it. In Trika Shaivism there are four schools: Spanda, Pratyabhijñā, Kula, and Krama. In Parabhairavayoga, I place more emphasis on the Spanda and Pratyabhijñā schools and less emphasis on Kula and Krama. This is another feature of Parabhairavayoga.
6. I finished translating chapter 16 and chapter 17 of the venerable Tantrāloka composed by Abhinavagupta, the Greatest Guru of Trika Shaivism. I am currently translating chapter 18, which is very short. Then I will continue with 19, etc.
7. Gurumā, my wife, continues her long work of translating the Tantrāloka into Russian: She has now finished the gigantic chapter 8, but is already fully immersed in translating chapter 9. Thousands of hours are required to complete the massive Tantrāloka in each language, as you can imagine.
8. Robert Bhāskara has been translating into Hungarian: Combination subsection and Declension subsection.
9. I am giving satsaṅga-s (gatherings) via Zoom every Saturday at 4:00 p.m. (Moscow time), where I teach on various topics. If you wish to participate, make sure you are fluent in English and/or Spanish, and then fill out this form. I am currently teaching my Vāstavāhantāpravacanam (A discourse about the Real Self).

11. Enjoy it!

1. I finished my translation of venerable Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā-s by Utpaladeva both in English and Spanish. This is the most important scripture in the Pratyabhijñā section of the Trika's literature (the other two sections are Āgama and Spanda). Enjoy!
2. Now I am fully engrossed with translating the Chapter 16 in the sacred Tantrāloka by Abhinavagupta into English. It will take other 20 days to finish this Chapter, I reckon.
3. Robert Bhāskara, our Hungarian collaborator, has translated three pages into his native language: Combination (1), Combination (2) and Combination (3). Congratulations!
4. My wife, Natalia Ambikā, has fully translated the venerable Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā-s (by the great sage Utpaladeva) into Russian language. Now she is translating the Chapter 8 in Abhinavagupta's Tantrāloka. Well done!
5. I have begun explaining my own Vāstavāhantāpravacanam (A discourse about the Real I) on my YouTube channel: Here is the Vāstavāhantāpravacanam playlist containing all the available videos so far.
6. I host satsaṅga-s (meetings) via Zoom all Saturdays at 16:00 (Moscow time), where I teach on various topics. If you wish to participate, ensure you are fluent in English and/or Spanish, and then fill out this form. As mentioned earlier, I am currently teaching Vāstavāhantāpravacanam. I upload new videos to the YouTube channel every weekend.
7. Although Amazon.com is the central hub for all my books, they are also available on: Barnes & Noble, Ebay, Booklooker, Betterworldbooks, MercadoLibre, and many more (search for "gabriel pradiipaka" on all those websites).
8. Enjoy!

1. I have completed my translation of the extensive Chapter 15 (in English) from venerable Tantrāloka by Abhinavagupta after nearly two months working. With 615 stanzas, Chapter 15 is the longest in this sacred scripture. Enjoy the reading!
2. Before beginning the translation of chapter 16, and at the request of a disciple, I am finalizing my translation of the glorious Īśvarapratyabhijñākārikā-s by Utpaladeva (in English, Spanish and.... Russian, though the latter is slightly delayed for now). I update my translation almost daily, starting from verse 1.6.1 in that scripture (I had previously translated the first five subchapters of Chapter 1).
3. Robert Bhāskara has translated three full subsections in the Sanskrit section into Hungarian: Writing, Transliterating and Numbers. Well done!
4. My wife, Natalia Ambikā, has completed Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 of the venerable Tantrāloka by Abhinavagupta. She is now halfway through translating Chapter 8. Congratulations!
5. New articles have been published on the official website of my Parabhairavayoga!
6. I have begun explaining my own Vāstavāhantāpravacanam (A discourse about the Real I) on my YouTube channel: Here is the Vāstavāhantāpravacanam playlist containing all the available videos so far.
7. I host satsaṅga-s (meetings) via Zoom all Saturdays at 16:00 (Moscow time), where I teach on various topics. If you wish to participate, ensure you are fluent in English and/or Spanish, and then fill out this form. As mentioned earlier, I am currently teaching Vāstavāhantāpravacanam. I upload new videos to the YouTube channel every weekend.
8. Although Amazon.com is the central hub for all my books, they are also available on: Barnes & Noble, Ebay, Booklooker, Betterworldbooks, MercadoLibre, and many more (search for "gabriel pradiipaka" on all those websites).
9. Enjoy!

1. I finished my translation of chapter 13 and chapter 14 in Abhinavagupta's Tantrāloka in English. Now I am working on the huge chapter 15. I am uploading more and more translated stanzas of chapter 15 to the website practically every day.
2. Robert Bhāskara translated Sanskrit Quotes 1 into Hungarian on this website. But on the Parabhairavayoga website, he translated Part 1 and Part 2 of my Parabhairavayogasaṁsthāpanapracodanalaghuvṛttiḥ (Short commentary on the Foundational Principles of Parabhairavayoga).
3. My wife, Natalia Ambikā, affectionately called Gurumā (mother Guru), continues to translate Abhinavagupta's Tantrāloka into Russian language. Now she finished chapter 5 in that scripture.

1. Important news for you now:
2. Robert Bhāskara and Tamás Tryambaka have been promoted to the rank of "Parabhairavayogopācārya-s" —Upācārya-s (Teachers) of Parabhairavayoga— for their outstanding dedication to the study of Parabhairavayoga and Trika Shaivism, and for their love and service to their Guru. They have therefore sufficient authority, under de supervision of their Guru, to teach everything related to Parabhairavayoga and Trika Shaivism.
3. The natural path for them both is to become first putraka-s (spiritual sons) and next Ācārya-s (i.e. Guru-s). All the info related to our Upācārya-s' activities can be found here: Upācārya-s.
4. What is Parabhairavayoga? On the Parabhairavayoga website there is a short description of it. In Trika Shaivism there are four schools: Spanda, Pratyabhijñā, Kula and Krama. In Parabhairavayoga, I place more emphasis on Spanda and Pratyabhijñā schools and less emphasis on Kula and Krama. This is another of the features of Parabhairavayoga.
5. Now I am translating chapter 13 in venerable Tantrāloka by eminent Abhinavagupta. I am uploading new translations practically every day when I am healthy. When I am sick like now --fortunately, the worst part of the flu is gone by now--, I cannot upload new contents daily, obviously.
6. Like myself, Gurumā, my wife, never rests! Gurumā continued her hard job of translating Tantrāloka into Russian language: She has just finished chapter 4 now!
7. Robert Bhāskara was also working hard with his translations into Hungarian: First Steps 4 and First Steps 5.
8. I am holding satsaṅga-s (meetings) via Zoom all Saturdays at 16:00 (Moscow time), where I teach about different topics. If you want to participate, make sure you are fluent in English and/or Spanish and next fill out this form [for now, till I am finished with my explanation of Parabhairavayogābhyāsāḥ -Practices in Parabhairavayoga-, admission is not possible. Within one month, when I start to explain a new scripture (i.e. my own Vāstavāhantāpravacanam -A discourse about the Real I-), you will be able to request access to my satsaṅga-s].
9. Although Amazon.com is the central headquarters for all my books, they are also available at: Barnes & Noble, Ebay, Booklooker, Betterworldbooks, MercadoLibre, and many more (search "gabriel pradiipaka" on all those websites).
10. Enjoy!

1. Many news for you now:
2. Our Parabhairavayoga website is now in 6 languages like this website (English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Hungarian, Russian and Hindii).
3. I finished translating chapter 10, chapter 11 and chapter 12 (only in English for now) in venerable Tantrāloka by eminent Abhinavagupta. My next work is now to translate the chapter 13 (only in English too). Till now I have translated 2946 stanzas into English out of 5847, which amounts to around 4 Bhagavadgītā-s plus 146 stanzas. I reached the half of the book, i.e. 50% of Tantrāloka is fully translated in English.
4. I also finished my new Parabhairavayoga scripture in Sanskrit called "Parabhairavayogasamayāḥ" (Rules in Parabhairavayoga), where I compile all the rules my disciples must follow. What is Parabhairavayoga? It is a Yoga I founded in 2016, which is heavily based on Trika Shaivism (especially on Spanda and Pratyabhijñā schools) but it contains things of my own spiritual lineage too.
5. Like myself, our collaborators never rest!
6. Gurumā (my wife) continued to work hard in Russian language: Tantrāloka (chapter 3 --full-- and chapter 4 --up to to stanza 100--) and Parabhairavayogasamayāḥ.
7. Robert Bhāskara was also working tirelessly (our website is huge and I continue to update it daily): First Steps 3 and Parabhairavayogasamayāḥ.
8. I am holding satsaṅga-s (meetings) via Zoom all Saturdays at 16:00 (Moscow time), where I teach about different topics. If you want to participate, make sure you are fluent in English and/or Spanish and next fill out this form [for now, till I am finished with my explanation of Parabhairavayogābhyāsāḥ -Practices in Parabhairavayoga-, admission is not possible. Within one month or two, when I start to explain a new scripture (i.e. my own Vāstavāhantāpravacanam -A discourse about the Real I-), you will be able to request access to my satsaṅga-s].
9. Although Amazon.com is the central headquarters for all my books, they are also available at: Barnes & Noble, Ebay, Booklooker, Betterworldbooks, MercadoLibre, and many more (search "gabriel pradiipaka" on all those websites).

SILVER ANNIVERSARY: 25 YEARS!

1. Dear visitors, on June 1^st we will be celebrating the Silver Anniversary of our beloved website!
2. A little history: The website had a humble origin in 1999, in a Geocities community. I got the "sanskrit-sanscrito.com.ar" domain name later and started to pay for web hosting. So, at the beginning the website was extremely Argentinian. But this would change eventually when I decided to buy the international domain name "sanskrit-sanscrito.com" in 2008. After that, in 2009, our collaborators Paulo and Claudio from Brazil commenced to translate the website into Portuguese. Until 2012 the website was static, but with the help of our programmer, Zoltán, it became dynamic at the end of that very year. In the first times of the website I had to invent my own Sanskrit transliteration system for want of Unicode fonts. With the arrival of Sanskrit Unicode fonts, I had to move the entire transliteration of the website from my own system to IAST (International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration). By the way, I myself invented the full name "International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration" and its acronym "IAST". Now there are experts in IAST online (Google it), without never giving me credit for that creative name I invented in the 2000s. Well, this world is full of fools, as you surely know. Later around 2013, an ex-collaborator from Hungary started to translate the website into Hungarian. In 2015, our collaborator Irina Vallabhā began to translate the website into Russian. Next, in 2016, my wife (Natalia Ambikā) took the baton and continued the Russian translation of the website until today. The Hindii language was added short after that. In 2017, while retaining the old sanskrit-sanscrito.com domain name, I redirected the website to the brand new domain name: "sanskrit-trikashaivism.com". Why? Because sanskrit-sanscrito.com was born in a time when the website was only in English and Spanish. Moreover, though Sanskrit continued to be important here, the emphasis moved to Trika Shaivism little by little. Accordingly, the name of the website moved from "Sanskrit & Sánscrito" to "Sanskrit & Trika Shaivism". At the end of 2016 I moved from an Argentinian hosting company to an American one. Since that time the VPS (Virtual Private Server) of the website is located in Amsterdam (Netherlands). This move improved connectivity with Europe, for example, where I had several disciples. I continue with the same hosting company till now. As the number of visitors increased a lot last year, I had to upgrade my hosting plan. Thanks to the collaboration of my disciples, I could pay all my hosting expenses these last years. Very well, this has been a summary of a 25 years journey online! Endless hours of hard efforts to keep the website up have born the fruits of around 4000 visitors coming every day!
3. Our beloved collaborators have been at the heart of our efforts. You can see them all here: About us.
4. Throughout the years, our website has grown incessantly. For example: In the last twelve months we have had around 1,150,000 visits, approximately 5.5 million pages, 20 million files, and a whopping 23.6 million hits, not to mention the 1.1 terabyte of consumed bandwidth and over 42,000 linked sites every month. Besides, sanskrit-trikashaivism.com enjoys 128,864 backlinks. For a "niche" website like ours, those numbers are remarkable.
5. Our visitors come from many countries on the globe. Here the top 25 in 2024 by number of pages: (1) United States, (2) India, (3) Russian Federation, those are the main countries by far! Now, the list continues: (4) Japan, (5) Great Britain, (6) China, (7) Brazil, (8) Spain, (9) Poland, (10) Argentina, (11) Sweden, (12) Canada, (13) Germany, (14) France, (15) Mexico, (16) Ukraine, (17) Hungary, (18) Croatia, (19) Bulgaria, (20) Australia, (21) Chile, (22) Netherlands, (23) Colombia, (24) Romania and (25) Indonesia.
6. Aside from the main website, we have our Facebook and Instagram pages together with our YouTube channel.
7. I also launched recently two communities: One in Reddit about Trika Shaivism and another one in Discord about Parabhairavayoga (Trika Shaivism for Liberation). You are invited to participate! Happy Anniversary!

1. As I said above, in the important news pinned on top: I continue to write Vāstavāhantāsūtrāṇi.
2. My wife and collaborator was working hard translating stuff into Russian: Pātañjalayogasūtra-s, Vyāsa comments on Yoga, Aṣṭāṅgayoga, Pratyabhijñāhṛdaya, Trika (overview) (now she is about to finish Trika 5) and Vāstavāhantāpravacanam.
3. Although Amazon.com is the central headquarters for all my books, they are also available at: Barnes & Noble, Ebay, Booklooker, Betterworldbooks, MercadoLibre, and many more (search "gabriel pradiipaka" on all those websites).
