The goddess within and beyond the three cities: Sakta tantra and the paradox of power in Nepala-Mandala
Lidke, Jeffrey S.
₹ 2200.00
In this groundbreaking study on Sarvamnaya Sakta Tantra in Nepal, Jeffrey combines the study of primary sources with the investigation of living interpretations of these sources by contemporary Nepalese practitioners. Lidke focuses his twenty-year analysis on a specific Tantric tradition--Sri Vidya--a specific deity--Tripurasundari--a specific text Nityasodasikarnava--and a specific set of initiates within a specific locale--the Kathmandu Valley.
