About the Book

The Agama literature includes the Silpa-Sastra, which is basic to iconography. Worship dealt with I the Agama necessarily involves images which are worship-worthy. The rituals and sequences that are elaborated in the Agama books find relevance only in the context of an icon which is contained in a shrine. And icons are meaningful only in the context of shrines and worship. Agama texts are not easily accessible to the people. A large number of them are still available only in manuscripts, some of them which have been printed are only in their Sanskrit originals. There is need, therefore, to present relevant excerpts from them at least, to make the volumes on iconography more meaningful. Further, Indian temples are to be considered only in the general framework of temple culture, which include not only religious and philosophical aspects also. The volumes named Agama Encyclopaedia named Agama Encyclopaaedia deals with the temple-culture and Agama framework, the sectarian division of the Agama into Saiva, Vaisnava and Sakta, and the topics selected from the Agama texts follow. Thus, the entirety of the Agama, literature in so far as it is relevant to the temple-culture is brought within the scope of the Agama Encyclopaedia.

ISBN: 81-7030-835-6

About the Book

Curiosity to know one's future is both natural and universal; and therefore any method which attempts to unravel the mystery of the future has an attraction for the future has an Astrology, palmistry, numerology and various extrasensory processes which claim to predict the future have a popular appareal. An elementary knowledge of astronomy and a historical perspective are indispensable for a beginner. After going through the authoritative texts like Brihat Jataka, Brihat Parasara, Horasastra, Phaladipika etc., one arrives at the conclusion that the variables one has to tackle are far too many and the interpretations far too numerous and the task of integrating the diverse material is too complex. The subject requires deep study and one has to develop an insight and intuition to become a successful astrologer. The author has tried to present the essentials of Hindu Astrology with as objective an approach possible.

18. Sarada Tilaka Tantram/ Eng. Trans. By a Board of Scholars, Rs. 300

ISBN 81-7030-175-0

About the Book

"The work by Laksmanadesika comprises twenty-five chapters. The commentator Ragahvabhatta states that of the 25 chapters of the Sarada-tilaka, chapters 1-24 correspond to the 24 tattvas of Samkhya Philosophy and the last one devoted to Yoga, show that Purusa of Samkhya is beyond Prakriti and Vikriti. The first chapter is Prakriti as it discusses creation. Chapters ii-xxiv deals with Prakriti-Vikriti. In this work, Siva is represented both as Saguna and Niguna according to how he is identified with Prakriti or differentiated from it. From Prakriti or Sakti arises Nada which gives rise to Bindu. The interesting features of this work are practices for subjugation of women, destruction of enemies and Tantras for malevolent purposes. Diksa, Purscarana and nyasa figures prominently in it chapters vii-xxii deals with the Mantras of Saraswati, Lakshmi, Bhuvneswari, Durga, Tripura, Ganesha and Candramas. This work contains list of works known and unknown. It draws materials from Astronomical and mathematical works. Though generally sober, this work lays down the six malevolent rites, and prescribes the propitiation of the respective presiding deities. The drawing of Yantras for malefic purposes is also prescribed. It should also be noted that unlike many other works of this kind, it is free from the usual practices of the Vamamarga."

ISBN: 81-7030-832-1, Series: Sri Garib Dass Oriental Series No. 304

About the Book

Srividya is discipline where abounds considerable mystery, esotericism and occultism. There is among common people quite some ignorance concerning its philosophy and practice. There is also a host of doubts and uncertainties among practitioners themselves. The presence of different tradition in Srividya is a further source of confusion. The textual background to Srividya has almost become obscure and obsolete; it has become more a matter of individual lineages of practices. In the circumstances there is a need for an authentic and comprehensive account of all three aspects of Srividya, viz. The Yantra, The Mantra and The Tantra. This Book is an attempt to provide one. Along with all textual details concerning the philosophy and practice of Srividya, relevant iconographic details with illustrations have also been given.
