The Secret of the Three Cities: An Introduction to Hindu Sakta Tantrism Hardcover - 1990 - 1st Edition
by Douglas Renfrew Brooks
From the rear cover
The Secret of the Three Cities is designed to introduce the concepts and practices of Hindu Sakta Tantrism to an audience with only limited experience in Indian religious studies. It is not a reference book and does not offer elaborate and technical descriptions of Tantric rituals. Rather it is a textbook that makes an initial purchase on the subject of Sakta Tantrism and engages the reader as an interpreter in the broader comparative study of religion.
