Sacred Music : Its Origins, Powers, and Future – Traditional Music in Today’s World
Saiva Philosophy of Kashmir
The goal and purpose in writing this book is to highlight,in the midst of diversity,the essential unity that seems to be constitutive of such religions that have an orientation that is deeply mystical. Basing himself on the absolutistic metaphysical thought of Kashmir Saivism,the author thereby has attempted to interpret spirituality in such universal terms as would enable one to discover the principle of unity of being among the spiritualities of all major religions.Thus the aim of the book is so noble as to allow the reader to have the vision of unity in the midst of diversity.
Sakta Contribution to Varanasi
This book incorporates a good number of paperrs on multiple aspects of Sakta traditions practised in Varanasi continuing from hoary past to-date. Beside philosophical, religious and cultural leanings the contents expose the iconographic, ritualistic and artistic rendering of the Divine Mother. Kasi or Varanasi has been a stronghold of religious and spiritual fervour, and several religious sects have contributed to its present texture. Saktism has also been a forceful current in the cultural stream of this holy city. This is evidenced by several Devi temples, Sakti-pithas, yantras, fairs and festivals associated with the worship of Mother-Goddess.
Sakta Tantrik Cult in India
Sakti and Sakta
The Sakta Tantra is a Sadhana Sastra of Monistic (Advaitavada) Vedanta. It is to me a profound and powerful system, and its doctrine of Sakti or Divine Power is one the greatest evolved, through spiritual intuition, by the human mind which, according to its teaching, is a manifestation of the Divine Consciousness Itself.
