Description:
Kerala Tantra is an in-depth study of the unique regional Tantric rituals practiced in Kerala, an offshoot or synthesis of Saiddhantika and Pancaratra tantric rites. Rooted deeply in Vedic ritual traditions and influenced by Smarta-Pauranika beliefs and customs, Kerala Tantra remains a largely unexplored field of study. This book serves as an important resource, offering a serious exploration of Kerala's temple ritual cults. Through extensive research, which includes unpublished manuscripts and firsthand interviews with tantrins across generations, the author sheds light on the distinct features of Kerala Tantra, its evolution, and its transmission of knowledge. Additionally, it covers the institutionalization of Tantric education within the context of Kerala's Vedic and Sanskrit education systems. The volume addresses the great traditions of Tantra, focusing on Kerala's contribution to the broader tantric heritage.
