Book SynopsisThe backbone of this book on books is a history of a most unusual concept of the book that developed in South Asia with reference to the Veda… By the 19th century, regional cultures of print showed an uneven and spatially discontinuous development across the Indian subcontinent. They variously fed on regional patterns of communication, configurations of power, patronage, and a new economic regime. Their development formed part of tremendous transformations in the structures of power, statecraft, authority, and communication that the subcontinent was going through while being gradually absorbed into the globalizing orbit of the emerging British Empire. The period witnessed a general shift of knowledge-production sites and relocation of distribution and text-circulation networks towards new urban centres…. This book tries to understand how the emerging regional cultures of print created conditions for, inspired, and accommodated differently configured projects of bringing out printed editions of Vedic texts while leaving distinct traces of their respective nature on their editorial principles, book format, typographic form, and publishing ideology.Table of Contents PrefaceIntroductionI.

Brill Tantric Teachings of the Kālikā Purāṇa
Book SynopsisAt a lonely place, in a remote hermitage somewhere in the Himālaya, the god Śiva is teaching Tantric worship to his humiliated sons, who want to regain their divine status: “You should worship the goddess Mahāmāyā Kālikā”. Remarkable are his ‘talks’ about preliminary rituals, mudrās, and animal as well as human sacrifice. The Tantric Teachings form the inner core of the Kālikā Purāna, i.e. ‘Old Stories about Kālikā’, composed by a learned Brāhmin about a thousand years ago in Kāmarūpa (Assam). Careful listening to the text has been my first priority when presenting the relevant passages in text and translation.Table of ContentsPreface Abbreviations 1 Date, Environment and Narrative Structure 1 A Neglected Manuscript 2 A Sacrificial Site in Kathmandu 3 Speakers, Audiences, Locations 4 Summary and Conclusions 2 Preliminaries 1 Preparation (puraścaraṇa) 2 Purification (bhūtaśuddhi), Cosmic Throne (yogapīṭha) 3 Yoga Body, cakra System 4 Devotion (bhakti) 5 ‘Left’ and ‘Right Method’ (vāmabhāva, dakṣiṇabhāva) 3 Ritual Behaviour 1 Reverence (namaskāra) 2 Gesture (mudrā) 3 Sitting Posture (āsana) 4 Seat (āsana) 4 Mantra 1 Selection of the Right mantra (mantrasiddhi) 2 Application on the Body (nyāsa) 3 Harnessing (kavaca) 4 Device (yantra) 5 Blood-Chapter 1 Gift of the Tribute (balidāna) 2 Animal and Human Sacrifice 3 Human Sacrifice in Nepal 6 Pantheon 1 Contexts 2 Iconology References General Index

Rupa Publications India Pvt. Ltd Spiritual Secrets from Hinduism
Book SynopsisSeekers the world over intuitively perceive India as the land of spirituality. As such, there exists an inherent curiosity to understand its ancient knowledge systems through Hinduism. In its heritage are the rarest of holy treasures revealed to the rishis of yore through mystical practices and divine grace. For sharing their glimpses of the Absolute Truth with humankind, these elevated sages composed many sacred works, called the Vedic scriptures. They include the Puranas, Ramayan, Mahabharat, Brahma Sutras, Nyaya Darshan, Yog Darshan, and many more. All these holy books are elaborations of the Vedas, which occupy the highest place amongst Hindu scriptures. The Vedas refer to the eternal knowledge of God. And hence, the religion they describe is called Sanatan Dharma, or the Eternal Religion'. However, the prevailing the understanding of Hindu thought is vague and clichéd.
