In recent years Mandalas have attracted much interest among a wider public.

But Mandalas are found across a wide spectrum of South Asian religious traditions including those of the Hindus and Jains. Hindu Mandalas and Yantras have hardly been researched. This book attempts to fill this gap by clarifying important aspects of Mandalas and Yantras in specific Hindu traditions through investigations by renowned specialists in the field. Its chapters explore Mandalas and Yantras in the Smarta Pancaratra Saiva and Sakta traditions. An essay on the vastupurusamandala and its relationship to architecture is also included. 304 pp. …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. This volume documents the worship of Mahaganapati, a ten-armed form of Ganapati / Ganesa with a consort (sakti), according to four Tantric texts. Part I presets the Sanskrit text and an English translation together with commentary on chapter 2 of the Nityotsava, a work written by Jagannatha Pandita in 1745. The author based his work on the Parasuramakalpasutra, an anonymous 16th-or 17th century text probably composed in South India. The Parasuramakalpasutra and the Nityotsava are among the best-known and most respected works of the Srividya school of Hindi Tantra in contemporary India, and studied by many practitioners. Part II of this book focuses on three Tantric texts. The first subsection presents the Sanskrit text and a translation of a section of chapter 17 from the 12th-century Prapancasara. The second subsection provides an analysis and detailed summary of the section on Mahaganapati found in chapter 32 of the Srividyarnavatantra. The last section offer the Sanskrit text and a translation of the Vallabhesa Upanisad, a Tantric Upanisad related to the worship of Mahaganapati, who is referred to by the name Vallabhesa, the Lord of Vallabha (or Siddhalaksmi, the consort of Mahaganapati).…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Contents: Preface. A note on orthography. Introduction. 1. The lumbiniyatra in Sanskrit and Newari texts. 2. Visual representations of the Lumbiniyatra. 3. Misinterpretations. 4. Elements shared with other legendary material. 5. On the significance of the lumbiniyatra theme. Plates. Appendix. General Index. According to Newar Buddhists, Sakyamuni Buddha returned to his birthplace, Lumbini, after his enlightenment. Visual representations of his journey and visit to Lumbini date back to at least the seventeenth century and became especially popular in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Nepal. They show the Buddha riding standing up on a Naga (commonly identified with Sesa) while being attended by Hindu deities in service to him. Indra holds an honorific parasol steady over the Buddha from behind and a number of Hindu divinities are lined up in a procession and perform specific services. The theme, known as the lumbiniyatra, is found on its own or as one of the events in the life of Sakyamuni Buddha, or else as a subsidiary scene in larger paintings with a focus on a different Buddhist figure. Both long and short versions are extant. This book traces the history of the theme by examining literary sources in Sanskrit and Newari and pictorial representations in different media, including painting, metalwork, terracotta and woodcarving. It then discusses elements of the yatra which are also found independently in other contexts and finally offers some thoughts on the significance of the theme.…
