Mimi lives a life of seclusion, not only from the world but from her own feelings. She lost her parents and husband in a fatal car crash years earlier in Pakistan and has since closed herself off from life and feelings. Now, all she has left is a collection of rare sacred objects and artgifts from her parents. When she returns home one day to find her home and beloved dog savaged by burglars, her shock is so great that she cant see the crime as more than what it isa simple home invasion. But what Mimi doesnt yet know is that the break-in is a targeted attack by a vicious cult whose members are determined to recover an ancient piece of sculpture Mimi inherited from her father. They believe that the sculpture of the hand of the goddess Kali, holding a sickle and noose, has supernatural powersand they will stop at nothing to recover it from Mimis collection. Mimis solitude and peace of mind are threatened by these attacks, but ironically, this may be just what she needs to regain control of her life.

Tantric Kali
Author: Daniel Odier
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1620555603
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
The mythology, rituals, meditations, and practices used in Tantric worship of the goddess Kali in the tradition of Kashmiri Shaivism • Reveals the practices of Vamachara, known as the Left-hand Path but more accurately translated as the Path of Shakti • Includes a Kali ritual from the Nirrutara Tantra, translated here for the first time • Presents devotional chants, meditations, and mudras specific to Tantric worship of Kali According to traditions going back to pre-Vedic times, Kali sprang from the third eye of the Goddess Durga as a destructive and terrifying manifestation of feminine power sent to lay waste to the forces of evil. Throughout India to this day, Kali is worshipped as the destroyer of bondage, capable of liberating her devotee from all rules and subjugation. In Tantric Kali, Daniel Odier presents the mythology, practices, and rituals of Kali worship in the Tantric Kaula tradition within Kashmiri Shaivism. He reveals the practices of Vamachara, commonly known as the Left-hand Path but more accurately translated as the Path of Shakti. In this tradition the body itself is Kali’s temple, and it is therefore unnecessary to reject or deny the body to know union with the divine. Instead, nothing is regarded as pure or impure and there is complete freedom from rules. Focused on working directly with forbidden emotions and behaviors, this path allows the seeker to transcend obstacles to liberation through sexual union. According to the Kaula Upanishad, “In your behavior do the opposite to what the norms dictate but remain in consciousness.” This is the essence of Tantra. Kali is absolute reality: manifested as woman intoxicated by desire, she frees the tantric practitioner from all desire except union with the divine. The author includes an evocative ritual from the Nirrutara Tantra--never before translated into any Western language--containing devotions to the 64 yoginis according to Matsyendranath, founder of the Kaula path. Offering devotional chants, meditations, and mudras specific to Tantric worship of Kali, this empowering book provides practices and teachings for those on the Tantric path to liberation.

The Hand
Author: Lewis Dayton Burdick
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
The impression is not uncommon among readers that, however interesting they may be, the legendary stories which we no longer accept as true literally, and which often we know to be absurd and impossible, are entirely distinct from what we designate as history. This view of them is not at all satisfactory to the careful student. These tales as they have come down to us often have been rewritten and readapted to the beliefs and conditions of the various peoples of whose life and literature they have formed a part. We reject them as chronicles of actual events, but accept them as of great historical value in assisting us to determine the intellectual characteristics, social conditions, and moral standards at a time when a less skeptical, or differently educated, people confided in them. Believing then, that all legends, fables, and myths contain some germs of truth, and are invaluable sources of information to us, the author has made free use of them in these pages. Indeed, from them alone, sometimes, can be gained correct ideas of the true meaning and significance of rites and customs which still, in modified survivals, form an interesting and important part of our daily lives.
