Description

Explore the complex history of the yogini through this scholarly work from Routledge. This book examines how the term has been applied across different stages of South Asian religious history, identifying the yogini as a female yoga adept, a tantric practitioner, a sorceress, or a specific category of female deities. This volume provides a wide range of interdisciplinary perspectives on medieval South Asian yogini cults. By combining textual-philological, historical, and art historical methods, the text offers a deep look into the ritual and terminological aspects of these traditions. Readers will find detailed discussions on the medieval yogini cult as it appears in early Saiva tantric texts. Designed for students and scholars of Asian religion and philosophy, this book serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the diverse roles women played in these religious contexts. It bridges the gap between indology, anthropology, and religious studies to provide a clear picture of these historical practices.
