Other Religion Books
This book is about the power of the Word conceived as the main & mosteffective aspect of divine energy. It is the only systematic study in English of notions conceming the Word (Vce) as these are expounded in the shaiva tantras of Kashmir & in related texts. Padoux first describes the Veddic origins of these notions, then their development in texts of different tantric traditions. He shows how different levels of the Word abide in humans, how these levels are linked to the kundalini, & how they develop into articulate speech & discursive thougt. He also describes how the universe is creatrd out of the letters of the alphabet. The last two chapters explain the powers of mantras as sacred ritual utterances. These powers are described as magical as well as religious, because they can achieve suoernatural results as well as lead to salvation. Their uses are linked to yogic mental & bodily practices. Andre Padoux is Director of the research unit on Hinduism at the Centre National de la Researche Scientifique in Paris, & is a member of the french National Council for Scientific Research.
