Cele zece mari puteri cosmice: Dasa Mahavidya

by S. Shankaranarayanan, Marian Stan (Translator)

Lucrarea de fata este deja clasica printre cautatorii caii spirituale tantrice. Servindu-se de cuvintele unor mari intelepti contemporani ai Indiei, precum Śri Aurobindo sau Śri Kapali Śastriar – care i-a si influentat profund viata –, dar si de citate din scripturile intelepciunii vedice si tantrice, autorul ei, S. Shankaranarayanan ne introduce intr-o invatatura centrala a tantrismului hindus, cea legata de cele Zece Mari Cai de Cunoastere a lui Dumnezeu (daśa mahāvidyā), personificate prin zece divinitati cardinale.

This book, I return to over and over and over. It discusses the tantric view of the 10 facets of reality, and it shapes my being, my living, my evolving and my perspective. A little book, very dense, and full of nuance. While he relies, perhaps, rather heavily on quotes from Sri Aurobindo, it is to good effect. Don't let the sanskrit daunt you; I've found that over time my understanding of the words he uses has deepened, and I am in no way a sanskrit scholar. I highly recommend this book, with the caveat that it is not at all a casual read.

One of the rarest of about this Topic and a must to read. His knowledge and the way to relate it to depth of the topic is excellent. The dense and depth of this book is something you don't see on other book. Also the unique way he categorised the body of each chapter gives an amazing experience to the readers to understand the subject to the finest details.
