دانلود کتاب سنت های الهه در هند – اشعار کلامی و داستان های فلسفی در تریپورارهاسیا

This book on the Tripurā rahasya, a South Indian Sanskrit work which occu-pies a unique place in the Śākta literature, is a study of the Śrı̄ vidyā and Śākta traditions in the context of South Indian intellectual history in the late middle ages. Associated with the religious tradition known as Śrı̄ vidyā and devoted to the cult of the Goddess Tripurā, the text was probably composed between the 13th and the 16th century CE. The analysis of its narrative parts addresses questions about the relationships between Tantric and Purāṇic goddesses. The discussion of its philosophical and theological teachings tackles problems related to the relationships between Sākta and Śaiva tra-ditions. The stylistic devices adopted by the author(s) of the work deal uniquely with doctrinal and ritual elements of the Śrı̄ vidyā through the medium of a literary and poetic language. This stylistic peculiarity distin-guishes the Tripurā rahasya from many other Tantric texts, characterized by a more technical language. The book is intended for researchers in the field of Asian Studies, Indology, Philosophical, Theological or Religious Studies, Hindu Studies, Tantric Studies and South Asian Religion and Philosophy, in particular those interested in Śākta and Śaiva philosophic-religious traditions.
