Confusions in Advaita Vedanta (HB)
The Yoga of Netra Tantra
The inspiration for taking up the study of the Netra Tantra and its Yoga is entirely due to my guru, Swami Lakshman Joo (1907-91), who allowed me access to the tradition of Trika or non-dualist Kashmir Saivism. My gratitude to him is unbounded and has been guiding me in every endeavour of studying and practising this great spiritual tradition, when can contribute tremendously with a practical way to experience it.
Abhinavagupta’s Hermeneutics of the Absolute Anuttaraprakriya
This study by Bettina Baumer is important and welcome because it deals with what may well be considered as the very core-metaphysically and mystically-of Abhinavagupta's teaching, and of what he still can tell and teach us. Its importance is, of course and foremost, due to the fact that it deals with a work by Abhinavagupta who-as Bettina Baumer forcefully says in her introduction-is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable.
A Classical Dictionary of Hindu Mythology and Religion
The main portion of this work consists of mythology, but religion is bound up with mythology, and in many points the two are quite inseparable. Of history, in the true sense, Sanskrit possesses nothing, or next to nothing, but what little has been discovered here finds its place. The chief geographical names of the old writers also have received notice, and their localities and identifications are described so far as present knowledge extends.
Tantric Forms of Ganesa
The number of publications dealing with Ganesa is not insignificant, few take original Sanskrit texts into consideration. The Tantric aspects of the deity have certainly been studied too little. This book contributes to our knowledge of this less familiar side of Ganesa. This text gives the iconographic peculiarities, mantras, and yantras of fourteen forms of Ganesa as well as instructions for the ritual application of the mantras.

An Introduction to the Philosophy of Trika Saivism
The aim of this book is basically to introduce the reader to the fundamental principles that Trika philosophers have enunciated in their philosophical-cum-theological treatises. Such an approach has been adopted deliberately on account of the fact that Trika system of thought, which is very rich in philosophical vocabulary, is hardly known to general public in the manner of Advaita Vedanta of Samkara.
