The Heart Of The Yogin The Yoginhdaya A Sanskrit Tantric Treatise

This is the first English translation of the Yoginīhṛdaya, 'The Heart of the Yoginī', an important twelfth-century Sanskrit ritual and religious text of the Śrīvidyā, one of the main schools of the tantric tradition of Kashmir shaivism. With explanatory commentary, notes, a glossary, and an index, it details the teaching and ritual of the Śrīvidyā, whose main deity is the fair and benevolent goddess Tripurasundarī, the supreme Yoginī. This ancient tradition is still active in Nepal and India.
