It offers a first-hand view of the multidimensional ways in which Shakti asserted its supremacy over existing Vaishnava and orthodox Brahmanical traditions in post mediaeval Bengal and India. The interdisciplinary chapters pave the way to understanding the intra-textual relationships between philosophical and conceptual ideas in literary texts and their oral transmission. Divided into three thematic sections: Cult Inclusiveness, akti Pithas, and the kta Philosophy, the book invites readers to explore a contested area of scholarship from unique perspectives, offering rich insights into the nature of negotiations between diverse religious streams. It also urges readers to examine the many innovative approaches and theoretical models on the goddess culture of East India. The book is of interest to students and scholars of religious textual studies, anthropology, pilgrimage studies, comparative religion, Sanskrit and Bengali languages, regional studies, South Asian cultures, goddess traditions and cultural history of mediaeval Bengal. 001459994 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001459994 650_0 $$aShaktism$$zIndia. 001459994 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001459994 7001_ $$aKhanna, Madhu,$$eeditor.$$1https://isni.org/isni/0000000081480798 001459994 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tStudies on Tantra in Bengal and Eastern India.$$dSingapore : Springer Nature Singapore, 2022$$z9789811930218$$w(OCoLC)1334140134 001459994 852__ $$bebk 001459994 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-19-3022-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001459994 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1459994$$pGLOBAL_SET 001459994 980__ $$aBIB 001459994 980__ $$aEBOOK 001459994 982__ $$aEbook 001459994 983__ $$aOnline 001459994 994__ $$a92$$bISE
