The past thirty years have witnessed dramatic developments in the study of agamic saivism in general. On the one hand there has been a substantial increase in the historical and anthropological data. On the other, access has been cleared to vast reserves of unedited and unpublished sources.
This book is a collection of essays which document in their own way the author's personal journey in these years through parts of the Saiva and, to some extent, the Vaisnava Tantras.
This ground-breaking book includes the following chapters: Self-awareness, Own Being and Egoity; Abhavavada, the Doctrine of Non-being; The Samvitprakasa; The Inner Pilgrimage of the Tantras; Kubjika, the Androgynous Goddess; The Pilgrimage of the Tantras; Kubjika, the Androgynous Goddess; The Cult of the Goddess Kubjika.
