The Magic of Kali Sample chapters on the worship of Dakshina Kalika. (kalsamX.PDF) The whole work contains the yantras, mantras and rituals of the most famous tantrik deity, has the complete text of the Todala Tantra and uses translations from different tantras to demonstrate the importance of the tradition.

The Yoni Tantra This work eulogises the yoni of the goddess. According to the Kaula tantriks, the most sacred spot in India is Kamarupa, where the genitals of the Devi fell after her body was sliced into 51 parts by the discus of Vishnu. This is the first translation into English of this important work.

The Ganapati Upanishad Upanishad of the Ganapata sect of Tantra. Originally, there were five broad schools of Tantra: the Shakta, Shaiva, Saura, Ganapata and Vaishnava. This first English translation includes a preface and explanatory material.

The Kaula Upanishad Upanishad of the Kaula sect of Tantra. The Kaulas based their precepts on this work - condemn not others - and even faulty argument may be valid, meaning that just because someone doesn't express an argument well, it doesn't mean she or he isn't right!

Other material in the FTP directory includes the Adinatha.Faq, images of sundry tantrik devatas and other material. The archive will be continually updated.
