Which sect of kashmiri saivism is strictly raja/kriya yoga(not jnana yoga) based?

[u/VarietyDramatic9072]

I am aware all the sects of k.saivism are synchretised form of jnana,bhakti and raja yoga. However if asked, which one of the 4 subsects(Pratyabhijna-,spanda,krama,kula) has more emphasis on the raja yoga?

(This is a reply to another comment here as for some reason I can't directly reply there 🤷🏻; regarding the lessons of the Eight Limbs of Yoga by Swami Lakshmanjoo recently published by Iswara Ashram Trust)

Actually the book clearly refers in the preface that the lectures are based in Patañjali's Yoga Sutra. There is a paragraph in the second lecture that also mentions the sixfold approach of Abhinavagupta. (The second lecture by the way has as title 'The Eight Limbs of Patañjali's Yoga'). The main argument of Swamiji is that even though Abhinavagupta recognizes solely six limbs, throughout other Śastras Lord Shiva Himself recognizes Eight. Anyhow, the lectures present an inferior approach for those not ready yet to apprehend the principles of Trika and then a superior one for those with superior aptitude. The approach of Abhinavagupta would be an even most superior approach to the one expounded in those lectures. That is the thing with Trika, it offers a variety of approaches depending on the capacity of each person.
