Amnayas are holy scriptures belonging to the Tantra school of Hinduism. Āmnāya (आम्नाय) is a Sanskrit word, which means sacred tradition handed over by repetition or that which is committed to memory.[1]

Āmnāya (आम्नाय) refers to a classification of Kula Agama scriptures, mostly tantras belonging to the Kula tradition within Shaivism and Saktism. The oldest and commonly accepted classification of four āmnāyas is found in sources such as the Kubjikāmatatantra, the Manthānabhairavatantra (yogakhaṇḍa) and the Saṃketapaddhati.

These are the four āmnāyas, each corresponding with a direction and yuga:

Pūrvāmnāya (eastern doctrine, kṛtayuga),

Dakṣiṇāmnāya (souther doctrine, tretāyuga),

Uttarāmnāya (northern doctrine, dvāparayuga),

Paścimāmnāya (western doctrine, kāliyuga).

There are however, different classifications of āmnāya counting up to five or six and considered very secret. [2] Urdhwamnaya the Quarter Above and Anuttaramnaya, the Quarter Beyond are the fifth and sixth secretive Amnayas. As per tantras the six Amnayas are nothing but six faces of Lord Shiva. Four of these are easily reveled but fifth and sixth faces are hidden and secret.[3]
