BUNCE, FREDERICK W.

THE YANTRAS OF DEITIES AND THEIR NUMEROLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS. An Iconographic Consideration.

New Delhi, D.K. Printworld, 2006. 2nd impression 293 pp. hardcover with dustjacket. Illustrated with 105 yantra diagrams. Yantra is a kind of mystical diagram used, in tantra, for both meditation and invoking a divinity, and is believed to possess/arouse occult powers. Drawn only by the adept: the ones schooled in this arcane, highly intricate process, and energized by siddh mantras, these seemingly innocuous geometrical figures are employed for any number of reasons or desires. This book highlights the essential import of these innocuous-looking, yet enigmatic, diagrams surfacing from the occult Practices of the tantrics. The author, an internationally known scholar of Oriental Art, examines a range of tantric yantras, with their varieties, applications, modes of construction and, above all, their iconographic features. 22,5 x 28,5 cm. Wrinkles in laminate (production faillure). Minor tanning inside. Otherwise very nice and clean copy

LANGUAGE AND STYLE OF THE VEDIC RSIS.

Albany, State University of New York Press, 1995. 1st edition 331 pp. Pb. SUNY series in Hindu Studies. Foreword Wendy Doniger. Elizarenkova, perhaps the greatest living scholar of the Rand certainly its greatest linguist, explains here the relationships between a very complicated grammatical system and the peculiarities of style of the archaic religious poetry. The laudatory hymn is treated as an act of verbal communication between the poet Rand the deity, with the hymn itself transmitting certain information from man to god. From this viewpoint, the hymn is used as a means to maintain a circular exchange of gifts between the Rand their gods. Many peculiarities of the functioning of the grammatical system of the Rare interpreted in connection with the model of the universe of the Vedic Aryan. very good condition

GOLDBERG, ELLEN

THE LORD WHO IS HALF WOMAN. Ardhanarisvara in Indian and Feminist Perspective.

New York, State University of New York, 2002. 1st edition 193 pp. Pb. The designation Lord Who Is Half Woman refers to the androgynous Hindu god Ardhanarisvara (also known as Siva-Sakti). While iconographical aspects of this significant image have been addressed, the complex theological, philosophical, and social implications inherent in a dual gendered deity have not. This book provides the first extensive study of the influence of Ardhanarisvara, exploring four distinct areas of Indian culture, namely iconography, hatha yoga, devotional poetry (bhakti), and mythology. Goldberg also offers a feminist analysis of the ways in which male and female have been constructed in this image and the various representations pertaining to the broader gender implications of an androgynous deity. very good condition

JACKSON, WILLIAM J.

TYAGARAJA Life and Lyrics[

Madras Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1991. 1st edition 394 pp. cloth with dustjacket. Tyagaraja (1767-1847) is undoubtedly South India's most celebrated musician-saint. His songs, remarkable for their beauty as well as for their sheer quantity, have been a source of inspiration to countless generations of Hindus. This study attempts to deepen our understanding of Tyagaraja's life and lyrics by providing fresh insights into the meaning this saint holds for South Indians. For the first time in Tyagaraja scholarship, the saint's life and works have been contextualized within a historical, social, and cultural framework. The book reconstructs the Maratha reign in the Kaveri delta in a comprehensive manner, and tries to establish links between Tyagaraja's works and the troubled history of this region. The volume also explores Tyagaraja's accomplishments as a composer, and contains faithful and lively translations in English of one hundred sixty of Tyagaraja's lyrics. very good condition

JUSTICE, CHRISTOPHER

DYING THE GOOD DEATH. The Pilgrimage to Die in India's Holy City.

Albany, State University of New York Press, 1997. 1st edition 268 pp. Pb. Dying the Good Death is a unique ethnography, the first to focus on the experiences of dying at the end of the life cycle. In a region of northern India, some people at the end of their lives leave their villages and travel to the Hindu holy city of Kashi to die. These pilgrims expect that by dying in Kashi they will obtain the spiritual reward of moksha-liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth. Based on fieldwork conducted in Kashi's hospices or Òmansions of liberation,Ó Christopher Justice introduces us to a number of dying individuals and their families, providing rich and evocative descriptions of their remarkable experiences. near fine condition

HINDOEISME.

Kampen, Kok, 1997. 1e druk 114 pp. Pb. Serie: Wegwijs - wereldreligies. Voor westerlingen is het vrijwel onmogelijk helder te krijgen wat het hindoeisme precies is, en wat er wel of niet bij hoort. Ook beantwoordt het hindoeisme niet aan de gangbare westerse voorstelling van een religie. Er is geen stichter bekend; er is niet een centraal heilig boek (voor veel Hindoes spelen geschriften eigenlijk helemaal geen rol); evenmin is er een officiele leer - het gaat veel meer om de levenspraktijk. Reender Kranenborg, docent godsdienstwetenschap aan de Vrije Universiteit te Amsterdam, maakt de lezer wegwijs in deze voor westerlingen vaak moeilijk toegankelijke wereldgodsdienst. mooie staat

PINTCHMAN, TRACY (ED.)

SEEKING MAHADEVI. Constructing the Identities of the Hindu Great Goddess.

Albany, State University of New York Press, 2001. 1st edition 254 pp. Pb. While Hindus recognize and revere a variety of different goddesses, they also tend to speak of one Great Goddess, Mahadevi, as a singular divine being who is the unity underlying all female deities. In this book, ten scholars reflect on both the diverse depictions of Mahadevi found in textual and devotional environments and the ways that the singularity and multiplicity of the divine Hindu feminine are negotiated. This book covers various geographical locations, from the Punjab and Bengal in North India to Kerala and Tamilnadu in the South, and makes use of evidence from ancient texts and contemporary interviews, male-authored documents and women's possession experiences, myth, ritual, and folklore. near fine condition
