Somananda
Teacher of Kashmir Shaivism · Academics · Lived 875 to 925 · aged 50
Somananda was one of the teachers of Kashmir Shaivism, in the lineage of Trayambaka, and the author of the first philosophical treatise of this school. A contemporary of Bhatta Kallata, the two were the first of the Kashmiri Shaivites to propose the concepts of non-dual Shaivism in a rigorous and logical way.
Somananda is read about 7.5 times a day, in 7 languages.
A typical day, 30 days to 25 June 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
