Hohm Press,U.S. In Praise of Adya Kali: Approaching the
Book SynopsisThis book details the goddess Kali and the culture of devotion to her in West Bengal and South Asia. The term Adya means primal, original or archean. Adya Kali is the primordial energy, the shakti, that creates, preserves, and transforms/dissolves all existence. She is the womb that births all, and the tomb that swallows all.In Praise of Adya Kali is different from most contemporary books about Kali because it offers a liturgy of worship, a type of spiritual practice (sadhana) that the reader (both male and female) can use over the course of days, weeks, or months, to cultivate a direct devotional relationship to Kali. But, beyond that, In Praise of Adya Kali is a context-setting guide. Rather than simply recommending that we recite these sacred names, each one a prayer, the author establishes this practice as a general orientation to life. Furthermore, and most compelling, the text and Commentaries on this liturgy contain an intimate revelation of how the goddess establishes herself in her devotees'' bodies and thus intervenes, by unconditional love and acceptance, in their lives. A lengthy Introduction, both scholarly and personal, describes the goddess and the possibilities that these prayers will offer. Aditi Devi guides us in how to build a shrine to Kali, various types of offerings to make to her, and suggests a schedule for how to use this liturgy with a long-term commitment over the course of 108 nights. This book presents a serious practice, not for the faint-hearted. It requires courage, strength and joy to permit the goddess''s energy to slowly, sensuously and irrevocably be invoked-conceived, allowed to gestate, birthed according to her will. And while the orientation here is toward realizing her sacred presence in the womb of the devotee, the practice can be undertaken by anyone. The physical form of the body is not a limitation, as the author notes: In this lineage we practice into the depths of whatever form we have, & arise from within that, knowing that we are her, male or female. This Song of the Hundred Names is a powerful teaching that all forms are her forms. Male, female or other gendered, we are presented with the possibility to experience the depths of our own internal feminine energies & thereby come into greater healing & wholeness, more readily able to express this often neglected part of ourselves. Aditi Devi''s long study & spiritual practice within living tantric lineages in South Asia has made this book possible.

Peter Lang AG Die Gleichheit in Der Unterschiedenheit: Eine
Book SynopsisDieses Buch ist für Religionsphilosophen und Indologen von Interesse und geeignet, dem interreligiösen und interkulturellen Dialog neue Impulse zu verleihen. Zum ersten Mal wird hier in einer Sprache des Westens der grundlegende Text der indischen Wiedererkennungs-Lehre des monistischen Sivaismus aus Kaschmir zugänglich gemacht, die Sivadrsti des Somananda Natha (ca. 875-925), und die darin beschriebene Lehre der Gleichheit aller Erscheinungsformen untersucht. Damit zusammenhängend werden u.a. folgende Gesichtspunkte erörtert: die Immanenz der Geistigkeit in der Materie, die Nutzlosigkeit aller Erkenntnismittel, weil die Natur des Wissens subjekthaft ist, und die Kritik am Buddhismus.

Book SynopsisDas Kalikapura?a ist eng verbunden mit dem Pilgerzentrum der Göttin Kamakhya im heutigen Assam. Unter Berücksichtigung der politischen und religiösen Verhältnisse des mittelalterlichen Kamarupa wird untersucht, auf welche Weise der Text den Kultort und seine lokale Göttin in die Große Tradition des Hinduismus einbindet. Dabei wird auf die Vorstellung von einer höchsten weiblichen Gottheit (Mahamaya) zurückgegriffen. Sie manifestiert sich im pura?ischen Mythenteil als Sati und im tantrischen Kultteil des Textes als Liebesgöttin Kamakhya. Maya und kama verknüpfen diese gegensätzlichen Konzepte. Eine Betrachtung der vi??uitischen Elemente im Text zeigt, daß das Kalikapura?a keinen reinen, sondern einen vi??uitischen Saktismus repräsentiert eine Variante des Hinduismus im mittelalterlichen Assam.

Peter Lang AG Rule-extension Strategies in Ancient India:
Book SynopsisThis study focuses on the devices implemented in Classical Indian texts on ritual and language in order to develop a structure of rules in an economic and systematic way. These devices presuppose a spatial approach to ritual and language, one which deals for instance with absences as substitutions within a pre-existing grid, and not as temporal disappearances. In this way, the study reveals a key feature of some among the most influential schools of Indian thought. The sources are Kalpasūtra, Vyākaraṇa and Mīmāṃsā, three textual traditions which developed alongside each other, sharing – as the volume shows – common presuppositions and methodologies. The book will be of interest for Sanskritists, scholars of ritual exegesis and of the history of linguistics.Table of ContentsContents: Scientific descriptive methods – Substitution patterns – Zero-theories – Extra-mathematical concept of placeholder – Conflict between different rules – Technical literatures in comparison: ritual and grammatical traditions – Space (vs. time) as conceptual background – tantra (simultaneous application) vs. prasaṅga (automatic involvement) – Automatic involvement and blocking of rules.

Peter Lang AG Protestantism as a worldwide renewal movement
Book SynopsisThe volume deals with the witness and the service of Protestants and Protestant churches in all nations and contexts and sketches Protestantism as a global renewal movement. It is active in the setting of all 171 nations with a non-Protestant religious or secular majority, and in the 28 Protestant majority nations. Protestantism wants to make all people 'mature' and all societies 'responsible.' It made the Bible the most translated book on earth and provided more songs and hymns than any other religion or movement. About 10 % of the world population is Protestant. But the impact of Protestantism on world culture is larger than 10 %. The book highlights the significance of Protestant Noble Peace Prize winners and martyrs. Billy Graham, Martin Luther King, Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela are the most influential Protestants in the post-war period. Protestants dream of a universal language, a universal statement of faith, and a universal hymn.
