Trika

Trika ("triad") (Devanagari: त्रिक), religious tradition of mystical Hinduism.

Quotes on the Trika:

 * The trika is the essence of the śaiva tradition, and the Mālinī is the essence of the trika. (Abhinavagupta)
 * In the Trika the god Śiva mostly appears in the hypostasis of Bhairava. (Raniero Gnoli)
 * Since all aspects of reality are in fact nothing more than the rhythms of divine energy and its all-pervading vibration, the Trika and Kaula systems do not contrast matter with spirit, body with soul, microcosm with macrocosm, but they recognize only one original rhythm that propagates freely from level to level. (Lilian Silburn)
