Breaking Boundaries with the Goddess draws together twelve Sakta interpreters from North America Europe and India to discuss the present state and future challenges of studies of the South Asian Goddess. They focus on Sanskrit Tamil Bengali and tribal languages and they cover geographic areas from the north to the south of the subcontinent and beyond including Tibet and even parts of Central Asia that were once under Kusana rule. Their sources are wide ranging they investigate archaeological finds from the Indus Valley sculptures recovered in robbers hordes in Eastern India and sites excavated by the Russians near Afghanistan. They read texts including Vedas Agamas epics Puranas Tantras medieval ritual digests and glorifications examine rituals art and social attitudes and their fieldwork takes them to meet tribal Khonds Gonds Oraons and Nagas Bengali Tantric practitioners and temple priests and devotees.
