Tantric Visions of The Divine Feminine
Tantric Visions of the Divine Feminine deals with a group of ten Hindu tantric goddesses, the Mahavidyas, who embody habits, attributes, or identities, usually considered repulsive or socially subversive. It is within the context of tantric worship that devotees seek to identify themselves with these forbidding goddesses.
Tantra
A complex body of religious practices that spread throughout the Hindu,Buddhist, and Jain traditions; a form of spirituality that seemingly combines sexuality, sensual pleasure ,and the full range of physical experience with the religious life - Tantra has played a central yet conflicted role in the Western imagination ever since the first ''discovery '' of Indian religions by European scholars. Always radical, always extremely other, Tantra has proved to be a key factor in the imagining of India. This book offers a critical account of how the phenomenon came to be.
