"At the core of Tantra lies the idea of divine power (sakti), which manifests in various ways, including the mysterious Kundalini-sakti. This monograph is a thorough and much-needed analysis of the concept of "divine power" on the basis of Laksmidhara’s sophisticated Sanskrit commentary on the Saundarya-Labari, a key scripture of the great Srividya tradition. Pandit Rajmani brings to this task a penetrating intelligence, embracing scholarship, and practical experience in the Srividya tradition, which is a very important branch of Tantra that is only now becoming accessible to Western students. Both scholars and serious students of Tantra, Yoga, and the history of religion will find this book of immense value."
