The aim of the article is to address some of the imagery and meanings attributed to the sensory faculties in the Kashmīr Shaivism tradition. The first section will analyze the “tantric” reading that the great Kashmiri Philosopher, Abhinavagupta, performed on the Bhagavad-gītā, aiming at extracting what he considered to be the essential meaning of this vedic text: the correlation between sacrificial action and sensory playfulness. Afterwards, the subject will be addressed from a broader intertextual standpoint, mainly regarding the soteriological teachings of the tantric School called Spanda (“Pulsation”). It is expected that the contribution of the paper lies on the treatment of textualities that present a crucial conceptual counterpoint to the recurrent devaluation of the body and its sensoriality in the field of Religion.
