Mark Dyczkowski - 2000 - Kubjika, Kali, Tripura, and Trika (OCR) (73p).pdf Series: Publications of the Nepal Research Centre Perfect Paperback: 65 pages Publisher: Franz Steiner Verlag Stuttgart (2000) Language: English ISBN-10: ISBN-13: 9729 On Shaktism in Nepal and the religious practices of Newar (Nepalese people). MARK DYCZKOWSKI was born in London in 1951. After completing his B.A. Degrees in Indian Philosophy and Religion at Banaras Hindu University, he returned to England in 1975 for his doctoral work which he carried out in the University of Oxford.
He returned to Banaras, India in 1979 as a Commonwealth Scholar. At present he is a research associate at Sampurnananda Sanskrit University for a project to edit the Manthanabhairavatantra. He is the author of the Doctrine of Vibration as well as several articles in learned journals. Forthcoming are his extensively annotated translations of the Aphorisms of Siva, with Bhaskara's commentary, and the Stanzas on Vibration (Spandakarikd), with three hitherto untranslated commentaries.
The Manthanabhairavatantra is about 24,000 verses long and is divided into three sections (khanda). The one edited and translated here is the Kumarikakhanda. Ps4 emulator without survey. Along with the Kubjikamata, the Manthanabhairavatantra is the most important and extensive Tantra dedicated to the worship of the goddess Kubjika. Although originally an Indian goddess, Kubjika is almost exclusively worshipped in the Kathmandu Valley, where her cult has been kept scrupulously secret by Newar initiates for centuries.
Almost all the manuscripts of her Tantras and related literature have been found there. Kubjika is a powerful development of Malini, the principal goddess of the Trika Tantras and Kali of the Kashmiri Krama tradition. Her cult belongs to a chain of early Kaula systems that culminate with that of the goddess Tripura and so sheds considerable light on them. Kubjika's unique historical importance is mirrored in the extraordinary richness of the inner, spiritual dimensions of her cult. These are explored in detail in the introduction to the edition and translation of the text with extensive references from mostly unpublished Kubjika Tantras and those of related schools.
The work took close to two decades to produce. In this time numerous working editions of unpublished Tantras and related texts were prepared by the author with the help of a team of five trained assistants.
