Hymn to Kali: Karpuradi-Stotra (Forgotten Books)
Product Description
Kali is a Hindu goddess with a long and complex history in Hinduism. Although sometimes presented as dark and violent, her earliest incarnation as a figure of annihilation still has some influence, while more complex Tantric beliefs sometimes extend her role so far as to be the Ultimate Reality (Brahman) and Source of Being. She is also known and revered as Bhavatarini (meaning: redeemer of the universe Dakshineswar Kali Temple). Finally, the comparatively recent devotional movement largely conceives of Kali as a straightforwardly benevolent mother-goddess. Therefore, as with her association with the Deva (god) Shiva, Kali is associated with many Devis (goddesses) - Durga, Bhadrakali, Bhavani, Sati, Rudrani, Parvati, Chinnamasta, Chamunda, Kamakshi or kamakhya, Uma, Meenakshi, Himavanti, Kumari and Tara. These names, if repeated, are believed to give special power to the worshipper. She is the foremost Goddess among the Dasa Mahavidyas. (Quote from wikipedia.org)

Mahanirvana Tantra: Tantra Of The Great Liberation
Product Description
This is not the usual "New Age" tantric sex manual, but a deeply esoteric and traditional book. The scene of the revelation of this Tantra is in the Himalayas, a holy land weighted with the traditions. Here in these lofty lands, rose the great mountain, the Sapta Kula Parvata. In these mountains Munis and Rishis lived. Here also is the Kshetra of Shiva Mahadeva, where His Spouse Parvvati, the daughter of the Mountain King, was born, and where Mother Ganges also has her source. The paradise of Shiva is a summerland of both lasting sunshine and cool shade, musical with the song of birds and bright with undying flowers. The air, scented with sweet fragrance, resounds with the music and song of celestial singers and players. It is not, however, necessary to go to the Himalayas to find Shiva. He dwells whereever his worshippers, abide, and His mystic mount is to be sought in the thousand-petalled lotus in the body of every human.
