The New Spanda Karikas are not a work of academic scholarship but a result of meditation in the form of an original metaphysical treatise on Spanda. They 'approach anew' (abhi-nava) the whole notion of Spanda - showing its relation to the nature of consciousness, space and time, using it to challenge the foundations of quantum physics and the much distorted concept of 'energy' - whose roots lie not in Indian but in Greek thought. As a result, these new karikas are also able to offers a radically new understanding of the nature of 'matter', the modern scientific 'mystery' of so-called 'dark matter' and 'dark energy' and - last but not least - to the true essence of music. Spanda is understood for the first time as primordial creative tension between a dark and inexhaustible womb of unmanifest potentialities of awareness or 'non-being' - symbolised by the blackness of the great goddess Kali - and the realm of actuality or 'being' illuminated by the invisible light of awareness identical with the great god Shiva. Through a primordial awareness of the realm of potentiality, the autonomous powers of actualisation or Shaktis latent within it are released - giving rise to a constant process of creative manifestation of all possible actualities and all possible consciousnesses or 'beings'.
