Kali : The Tantric Goddess of Time and Liberation: Text, Metaphysics, Ritual, and the Architecture of Radical Freedom

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Kali stands at the centre of one of the most daring theological developments in Hindu philosophy.Far beyond the popular image of a fearsome goddess adorned with skulls, she represents a profound articulation of time, dissolution, sovereignty, and liberation within Sakta and Tantric traditions.In this sustained and text-grounded study, Dr Bhaskar Bora explores Kali's emergence from the Devi Mahatmya through the Kalika Pura?a and later Tantric systems, examining: - The evolution of fierce goddess theology- Ritual sacrifice and sacred kingship in Assam's Sakta landscape- Cremation-ground symbolism and mortality consciousness- Nondual metaphysics and the identity of time (kala) with the Goddess- Liberation reframed as structural recognition within consciousnessBringing together scripture, ritual analysis, historical development, and philosophical inquiry, this book restores depth to a figure too often misunderstood.Kali is not merely a goddess of destruction.She is a theology of time.She is a grammar of radical freedom.
