Written in an accessible, engaging style, author David Kinsley's new book documents a highly unusual group of ten Hindu tantric goddesses the Mahavidyas many of whom are strongly associated with sexuality and violence. The Mahavidyas embody undesirable attributes, yet they serve as symbols for projecting one's consciousness beyond the socially acceptable and predictable. 41 illus.
