Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The highest yoga tantra goddess, Vajrayogini, is praised and practiced in Buddhist tantra as the embodiment of enlightened wisdom and compassion. This book broaches the Indian origins of her practice prior to 1200 A.D. and sheds light on tantric sadhana meditation more generally. Surveying the manifestations of the goddess in a collection of fifty sadhanas, English pays special attention to the Vajravarahi Sadhana of Umapatideva, and includes a translation of this lengthy and clear text, which has never previously been translated into English. Vajrayogini is a tantric goddess who manifests the ultimate development of wisdom and compassion. Her practice is prevalent today among practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism. This ground-breaking book delves into the origins of Vajrayogini, charting her evolution in India and examining her roots in the Cakrasamvara tantra and in Indian tradition relating to Shiva. The focus of this work is the Guhyasamayasadhanamala, a collection of forty-six sadhanas, or practice texts. (One of the sadhanas, the Vajravarahi Sadhana by Umapatideva, depicts Vajrayogini at the center of a mandala of thirty-seven different goddesses, and is here presented in full translation alongside a Sanskrit edition.) Elizabeth English provides extensive explanation and annotation of this representative text. Sixteen pages of stunning color plates not only enhance the study but bring the goddess to life.
