	Tantric Argument (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Utpaladeva refers to the means taught by Somananda and himself as a "new, easy path." Abhinava's explanation of the path's novelty is interesting.
		He states that "[the word] "new" signifies that it is contained in all the sacred texts but not well known because of concealment."[19] Abhinava is here giving the common hermeneutic device of grounding innovation in the implicit or potential significance of a tradition a distinctively tantric character of secrecy.
		Dyczkowski apparently bases his classification on Abhinavagupta's citations of the authority of Somananda on the nonmeans, and on the lack of need for practice after Siva is realized.

		Ananda was the father of Somanada and Somananda was the father of Utpaladev.
		Somananda in his Sivadrsti states that Siva is never devoid of Sakti or divine power and this Sakti can never exist apart from Siva since this Sakti his own divine power and His desires to create entities by His volition.
		Somananda regards yoga as offering all acts, walking, eating, sitting, running, etc, to Siva and as thinking I am all beings and all entities are created by my volition by unfolding my powers.

		Having successfully completed my Initiation, I was told that there was nothing left for me to learn but simply to put the instructions received into practice and allow them to naturally develop into a Higher Experience, as this would be the only direct and certain proof of my Spiritual Attainment.
		It was on this occasion that I was given the traditional Yogic title of Shri Somananda (the Joy of Higher Knowledge) whose deeper esoteric meaning cannot be entered into here.
