Shaivism in the Light of Epics, Puranas and Agamas-N.R. Bhatt
Shaivism encompasses all
aspects of religion: a philosophy, a theology, a conception of the universe, a
current of devotion, a world of myths, elaborate rituals in organized temples,
expressions in plastic arts, in poetry, music, dance. Images of Shiva of great variety and impressive beauty are
countless all over India. To improve our understanding of such a rich and
elevated subject, the sources are the Sanskrit texts of Epics, Puranas and
Agamas. The present book gives a clear presentation of Shavism through a survey
and an erudite reading of this vast literature. The Agamas are the key to the
knowledge of temple organization and rituals, the description of which is a
unique and original contribution of this work.
This very readable and reliable work contains an amazing quantity of
information, carefully referenced at every step, and is likely to be of the
greatest utility to researchers in history of religion, medieval to modern, as
well as to the general reader interested in Shaivism.
