“Dive into the mystical depths of Hindu devotion with Hymn to Kali, Arthur Avalon’s seminal translation of sacred verses dedicated to the fierce and compassionate Goddess Kali. This profound work bridges ancient Tantric wisdom and modern spiritual seeking, offering a poetic exploration of Kali’s dual nature—as the destroyer of ignorance and the benevolent mother of the universe.
Avalon, a pioneering scholar of Tantra, illuminates Kali’s role as the Ultimate Reality (Brahman) and the source of divine feminine power, weaving together lyrical hymns, esoteric symbolism, and insightful commentary. Revered a Bhavatarini (the redeemer of the universe), Kali emerges not just as a deity of annihilation but as a transformative force guiding devotees toward liberation.
Ideal for seekers of Hindu philosophy, devotees of the Divine Mother, and students of comparative religion, this timeless classic reveals why Kali remains central to Tantric practice and devotional movements alike.”
In “Shakti And Shakta: Essays And Addresses On The Sakta Tantrasastra,” John Sir Woodroffe delves into the profound and intricate world of Sakti— the quintessential feminine divine power—and the worshippers, known as Saktas, who revere this force in various forms. Drawing upon his extensive scholarship on Indian philosophy and Tantric practices, Woodroffe offers a collection of essays that explore the complex dimensions of divine femininity within Hindu tradition.
This seminal work sheds light on the esoteric significance, rituals, and cultural impact of Sakti worship. Woodroffe’s erudite analysis and eloquent prose provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of how Sakti permeates through spiritual, metaphysical, and cultural paradigms. Bridging the gap between Western perspectives and Eastern spiritual practices, this book is an invaluable resource for scholars, practitioners, and anyone intrigued by the multifaceted nature of the feminine divine.
