Doubts

Namaskar 🙏🏻

I resonate with Trika darshan a lot! Whatever i have come to know about it makes perfect sense and is also very practical and brings about harmony everywhere.

But since I am very adamant on being sure I am following a correct source, a correct darshan, correct guru...I have some doubts that I wish someone could clear. My friends who follow the vedanta strictly have contributed in my thoughts pattern to think this way. Please help me out!

My doubts/skepticism about Trika Darshan:-

  1. how is trika related to Shakta advaita? are the same? which came after which?

  2. since we know swami Lakshmanjoo was the last living master and he declared he did not find any competent disciple to carry forward the lineage, how reliable are the current teachings of KS that are re-emerging?

  3. atleast in vedantic darshans, the norm is to seek the truth by doing shastrarths. every sampradaya was different and back then shastrarth used to happen to seek the objective truth. but since invasion- we all had to unite by keeping aside our sampradayik differences. now, it's very easy to resonate to any philosophy for that matter by listening/reading a monologue. only after shastrarth can we eventually get closer to the truth, the flaws etc...and sadly nowadays shastrarths are not happening as they did in the past- so basically how do we trust that Trika/KS is compatible with the summary of vedanta??

  4. even if I really really wish to get initiated into a shakta lineage having philosophy as/similar to Trika, how do I even get an unbroken lineage? (reason mentioned in question no. 2)

Awaiting a response,

thanks 🙏🏻
