Abstract - The Unique Position of the Spanda School

The first part of this paper explains the concept of spanda, the motionless vibration of our consciousness, according to the Trika schools of medieval Kashmir. The second part shows how this concept was fully developed in the homonymous school, even though it was already present in the others, and gives a historical survey of the Spanda school. The concluding third part summarizes why the Spanda school, even though it was traditionally never considered as a school, can be included among the others with its own place and features.
