The Canon of the Saivagama and the Kubjika Tantras of the Western Kaula Tradition

Reviews:

“This is a sincere, scholarly approach toward exploring a highly significant aspect of Indian thought and culture. Its most striking feature is the exploitation of extensive manuscript material which has remained inaccessible and, therefore, unavailable hitherto. It will be useful to all those interested in Tantra, Kashmir Shaivism, and the Hindu religious practice known as Sadhana.” – Navjivan Rastogi, Abhinavagupta Institute of Aesthetics and Saiva Philosophy, The University of Lucknow, India

“There are several interesting insights and thought-provoking statements which may prove to be new starting points for further research. The literature is studied with vigor and almost ‘pioneering’ courage.” – Teun Goudriaan, Institute voor Oosterse Talen Rijksuniversiteit, Utrecht, Netherlands
