Ebook: A Journey in the World of the Tantras

A collection of six articles and chapters written between 1986 and 2001, the present volume is very much an account of the personal and scholarly itinerary taken by Mark Dyczkowski, the undisputed master of Kubjika materials, and arguably the most original and wide-ranging scholar of Hindu tantra of the present generation, if not of all time. A semi-permanent resident of Varanasi for the past thirty years, Dyczkowski is bicultural in a way unrivalled by any living western scholar of Indian religions, combining the sterling textualist training in the medieval tantras he received at Oxford under Alexis Sanderson in the 1970s with a total immersion in the living traditions of Hinduism in Varanasi in India, and Kathmandu in Nepal
