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.

200

 

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. "

(NEW) 22. Srividya Kosa/ Prof. S.K Ramachandra Rao, Rs. 600

 

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.
