Pratyabhijnahrdayam: The Secret Of Self-Recognition Sanskrit Text With English Translation, Notes and Introduction is a book by Jaideva Singh. This translation in English is an important study of Saivism in Kashmir. This is a short Tantra. After Somananda, Abhinavagupta, who was the illustrious disciple of Kshemaraja, wrote two commentaries on it. One is short and the other an extensive one. This book is the translation of the second Vivarana.

The book is a mystical-philosophical literature of India and one the most-difficult texts of Kashmir Saiva School, which has been beautifully translated by Jaideva Singh in lucid English language. The main theme of the book is Ultimate Reality. Jiva is Shiva, meaning by identifying oneself with Shiva one forgets him/herself.

It serves as a good introduction to Pratyabhijna philosophy.
