Soft cover. Zustand: New. 2nd Edition. The Mahanirvana Tantra is one of the most important texts of the Tantric tradition. It is a dialogue between Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati, in which he reveals the secrets of the supreme reality and the path to liberation. The text covers topics such as cosmology, ethics, yoga, ritual, mantra, meditation, and worship. It also contains instructions for various rites and ceremonies, such as initiation, cremation, marriage, and worship of the Shakti. The Mahanirvana Tantra was translated into English by M.N. Dutta in the late 19th century. He based his translation on a Bengali manuscript that he obtained from a Tantric practitioner. However, his translation has been criticized for being inaccurate, incomplete, and biased. He omitted many verses, changed the meaning of some terms, and added his own interpretations and comments. In order to provide a more faithful and reliable translation of the Mahanirvana Tantra, DR.N.C.PANDA has edited and revised Dutta's translation. He has consulted several manuscripts and commentaries, corrected many errors and inconsistencies, and restored the original structure and sequence of the text. He has also added notes and explanations to clarify the difficult and obscure passages. His edition is a valuable contribution to the study and practice of Tantra.
