Kularnave Tantra. Original Sanskrit Text With Introduction In English

You are speech. You are consciousness. You are bliss. You are Brahma. You are being-consciousness-bliss. You are the non-dual. You are plainly Brahma. You are knowledge. You are intelligence --- Ganapati Upanishad The Kularnava Tantra is held in high esteem by Kaula tantriks. The phrase Kularnava means ocean of Kula. It focuses on the Urdvhamnaya, or Upper Tradition, the four others belonging to the four other faces of Shiva and representing the five elements of the tradition. BOOK REVIEW “Tantrik literature has been neglected by Sanskrit scholars as well as students by Comparative Religion … Mr. Arthur Avalon has devoted himself to the study of these obscure writings with an enthusiasm worthy, some would think, of other Sanskrit writings as yet untranslated. One may join in his hope that much of the prejudice against them will disappear when the Tantras are read in their entirety.”---The Times of India. “Mr. Arthur Avalon has rendered an unique service to humanity generally and the Indian people, in particular, in editing the Tantrik Texts series and in translating some thought-provoking works on Tantra”.---The Kalpaka.
