Anuttara Amnaya

[SonOfTheGods]

The Dark Lord- Peter Levenda

Grant's main focus where Tantra is concerned is the group of beliefs and practices that come
under the general rubric of Sri Vidya, with its all-important Sri Chakra mandala. Grant claims that
there is a surviving cult of the original Typhonian Tradition known as the Anuttara Amnaya, which
just happens to have the same initials as the secret society founded by Aleister Crowley, the Astrum
Argenteum, or A A The Anuttara Amnaya is the repository, again according to Grant, of the true
practices of the Sri Vidya cult which links it to the ancient and all-but-forgotten mysteries of the
Great Old Ones.
Before we go too deeply into the weeds of this concept, it is perhaps beneficial if we pull back a
little and briefly describe the Sri Vidya cultus and identify the Anuttara Amnaya as best we can.

Anyone do other research on this?

I did a search on this forum for the topic but couldn't find any.

This is a particular area of interest for me, and I have been trying off and on to discover what crumbs I can about the mysterious Anuttara Amnaya. There are some clues found with the older teachings of the Order of Krishna that seem to be associated with Curwen and the illuminated tantrik mansucript that Grant references throughout the trilogies. I have a few references in an article I posted back here newaeontantra.com/2013/04/16/tantrik-thelema-in-south-india/

Bookmarked to review later on, looks good.

Wow Gregory Peters I had no idea that those tantrik writings from the holy order of Krishna embodied the Law of Thelema! Very interesting indeed.

Yes they had some interesting material back in the day. They focus on an esoteric yogic interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita  for the most part. Unfortunately these days the group seems to have ditched any references to Thelema, the Bhairavi diksa, and other things that (for me at least) made them interesting!

I'm writing a book about it. In the chapter "The Sexual Magick of Kenneth Grant," I say:

In an earlier essay TYPHONIAN GNOSIS (Vol. I), I have said that Kenne-th Grant made some confusion and the practices he attributes to Ānuttara Āmnāya most probably refer to the Uttarāmnāya tradition or as it is known, the Krama School of Kashmir in the North and not in South India, as he refers. New information leads me to believe that when Grant quotes the Kaula Circle, he is referring to a period prior to the 11th century when Abhinavagupta reformed the tradition. He refers to the Kaula Circle in some trilogies, describing his practices: [...] It is a typical description of procedures found in the Krama Tradition or Uttarāmnāya. Psycho-sexual practices and the manipulation of secretions as talismans of power extraordinarily demonstrated in kaula-tantras were later preserved by Abhinavagupta in the Kālī-Krama Tradition. For this reason I have associated Grant's methods with this tradition previously. But He describes the Kaula Tradition in an earlier period, when it still had connection with Śrī Vidyā, as in the following passage: [...]

Gregory, is the gradework of the Order of Krishna available in any format that you know of?
